The Aztec civilization was ruled by an emperor and had about four hundred tribute states.

Explanation:

Th Aztec (1300-01521) was a civilization that spread in central Mexico. It was an empire ruled by an emperor and was organized into city-states (tribute states), which were the political entities of the society. They had about 400 tribute states. Each city state was led by a representative. Every state also paid tribute to the emperor. This was the means for the empire to prosper.

The civilization's dominant power was centered in the city of Tenochtitlan. However, the city was destroyed by the Spanish people who later on conquered the empire.
