Question

The Inca government divided the land into four regions to govern more efficiently. What was the name given to the Inca Empire due to this administrative division?

Answer 1

They actually called themselves the Tawantin Suyu, which means the "Four United Regions," or "Land of the Four Quarters." By 1500 CE, the Inca Empire was huge. It stretched for 2500 miles from the north to the south and had a population of around 12 million people.
