Ancient Egypt Government
The government was a Monarchy
Their ruler was called the Pharaoh
The Pharaoh had a hierarchy below him because under his position came the Vizier
The Vizier was kind of like a Prime Minister
The vizier was the Chief overseer of the land
Citizens paid taxes to support the government
Below the viziers were the Nomarks
Nomarks ruled an area called a nome and that was like a state or province
When the Nomark died his son will be the new Nomark
Since the citizens were very religious and the Pharaoh was considered as a god the citizens most of the time accepted the Pharaoh with no complaint
There were also people called scribes who collected taxes
