Chimú Empire
Overview
Chimor was the political grouping of the Chimú culture. The culture arose about 900 CE, succeeding the Moche culture, and was later conquered by the Inca emperor Topa Inca Yupanqui around 1470, fifty years before the arrival of the Spanish in the region. Chimor was the largest kingdom in the Late Intermediate Period, encompassing 1,000 kilometres of modern-day Peruvian coastline.

Borders & accuracy
The center is well-attested, but the line is a tribute-relationship periphery rather than a surveyed frontier.
