Is it easier to preserve order in a small, tightly knit country or a large empire???
please help me

A small tight country.

Explanation:

it would be a smaller country because you need less soldiers less supplies and less defense against your people. If it is smaller then the rumors and information will spread faster so they know you are serious.

answer; /// i do believe that the correct answer is (d) majority vote as an approval requirement;

an informal structure in a bureaucracy would be something like so-called "office politics". where there's a formal structure set up for the organization, but then an informal subculture as well that has a way of organizing the bureaucracy further. this can be positive because it sets up an added degree of organization, albeit informal, within the bureaucracy.
