A Satrap is a ruler of a province in the ancient Persian Empire. The term is derived from the Old Persian word 'khshathrapavan, ' which means 'protector of the realm.' The Satraps were appointed by the King of Persia and had absolute authority over their provinces. They were responsible for collecting taxes, maintaining order, and enforcing the laws of the empire. In modern usage, the term 'DESPOT' is often used to describe an oppressive ruler.
