Administration of Mauryan Empire was complex. Megasthenes and Greek writers have called a it a centralised top down system. But this was probably not centralised when we use the term in the modern sense. It had 4 main administrative regions apart from the capital region. The military was well organised and there was a strong regulated bureaucracy. Senior officials were well paid. There were hierarchies but this also enabled a peaceful time for the people where agriculture, manufacturing and trade could flourish.
