The idea
Persia held an empire by satraps and leniency; Rome by legions, roads and citizenship; the caliphs by adopted bureaucracies and the dhimma; Charles V by inheritance he could not govern; the Ottomans by conquest, Janissaries and millets. The exam asks what held each together.
In practice

Where people slip
