Three different levels of society that executed the many laws and rules that the Mongols had created. Hierarchy based on merit and not on social status was common, and this led to many regulations. Tolerance of differences was common, and Mongols were only harsh when not obeyed by their people.

Marco Polo continues descriptions of the Mongols wealth; the vastness of the place, an enormous population requiring tons of food, and other resources that the Mongols continued to produce.

Marco Polo wrote of huge transportation canals like those in his hometown of Venice, Italy. Citizens could purchase paperback books, eat rice from porcelain, and wear silk garments. Salt production via the Silk Road was huge and steel production was at a level not yet reached by Europe.

The Mongols catapulted the Plague-infected soldiers to the other side of the city. Dead bodies were landing on the city's floors. People fled, but the Plague caught on to millions of people.

While destroying towns, the Mongols terrorized the people as well. They ripped unborn children from mother's wombs and used prisoners as human shields.

40 million (10%) of the world's population were killed in the Mongols conquests.

Men and women both contributed to society, and gender hierarchies didn’t exist. Women were responsible for domestic affairs, could divorce their husbands, and were consulted in affairs. Men were responsible for laws and order and making decisions on behalf on the rest of society.

The Mongols began using the Silk Road again to trade successfully and stabilize relations between Russia and China. They traded salts and metals - some of the largest loads in the world at the time.

Practiced religious tolerance, treated soldiers well and promoted them based on merit. The Mongols also created a postal and law system.
