The correct answer to this open question is the following.
One example of how the process of state-building in various parts of the World between 1200 - 1450 was similar is the case of the Aztec Empire in Mesoamerica and the Inca Empire in South America.
The Aztec Empire founded its capital city over the Texcoco Lake. It was called the Great City of Tenochtitlan. It was an impressive city that had water canals that connected the city with other close towns such as Tlalpan, Tlatelolco, Mixcoatl, and Coyoacan. They established their power and dominion over other regions and towns by conquering them. They forced these towns to pay tribute and worship their gods.
The most important figure of the Aztecas was the Emperor, as was the case in the Inca Empire too.
The Incas founded its city in the Andean Mountains of Perú, in Macchu Picchu, an impressive city settlement at the top of the mountains. There, they developed advanced agriculture techniques and prospered due to the power exerted by the Emperor over other regions.
