Shang: Inner and Outer Areas system (內外服制)
Inner Area (內服): capital region; controlled by the king; officials consist of the noble family members.
Outer Area (外服): outer regions; controlled by different rulers.
Outer Area rulers are obliged to present tribute to Shang dynasty and join Shang's wars; Outer Area and Inner Area are almost equal in status; Outer Area's obeisances rely on Shang's military power.
