The challenges of maintaining land-based empires differ from maritime empires in many ways, one of which is "the need for greater armies for border defense against invasion, unlike the maritime empire that can use few navy personnel to guide themselves."

Other challenges of a land-based empire include the following:

Land-based empires are prone to invasions and wars.
Need to pass through the maritime empire to trade on a route that has water bodies, etc.

On the other hand, challenges of a maritime empire include the following:

Low agricultural produce.
Pirates affect their trading activities, etc.

The strategies states adopt to meet these challenges include:

Land-based empires employ more armies to their defense system.
The land-based empires established a naval department and alliance with the maritime empire.

Maritime empires trade their resources and produce agricultural products.

Maritime empires developed advanced and sophisticated navy to combat pirates.
