The pattern of political and, in turn, economic organization was based upon decimal groupings of individuals. Although the
system varied regionally, typically at the base was the puric, an able-bodied tax- paying Indian. Ten workers had what we
would call a ``straw boss'' (the Incas called him coñka-kamayoc); ten of these groups had a foreman (pacha-koraka); ten
foremen were ruled by another, ideally the headman (mallcu) of a large village. Ten thousand people came under a district
governor (homo-koraka), and ten districts were under the governor ((apo) of the quarter. For every 10,000 people there were
1,331 officials.
