More close to Easter Island there was the Inca Empire, which was conceived as consisting of four parts (suyus) - explaining why the Inca Empire was called Tawantinsuyu = The Four Suyus.

The Inca ruler was located in the middle and he surely was considered as the personification of his empire. Therefore the four suyus were his four members - as I see it.

I will not go further now and here about this subject, as I feel that there are enormous amounts of interesting and relevant information concerning this X available in all kinds of sources and all kinds of contexts.
