The Inca state functioned through a complex system of labour extraction and tribute which consolidated their power over conquered regions.

Unlike the campaigns against the Aztec and Inca states, the Maya had no single political center.

One of the first examples if the study of the Inca state by Métraux [1969].

While the Inca state exacted taxes in kind-e.g., textiles, grain, wares, etc.-- it also drew upon corvée labor as an important supply of power.

An analogous situation is reported in the case of the Inca state:

He was the ninth ruler of the Inca state who, from ruling a simple chiefdom came to rule a great empire, the Tahuantinsuyu.

The military conquests destroyed the Inca state; the consequent epidemics and social chaos reduced this and other indigenous societies by up to 93%.

Manco Capac founded the first Inca state around 1200.

This ended resistance to the Spanish conquest under the political authority of the Inca state.

The Inca state had no separate judiciary or codified set of laws.
