Vex, an Empire is a state which contains multiple different cultures, who did not imigrate there, ruled by a monarchial or dictatorial government. That's why, say, India, which contains lots of different cultures and peoples, but is a democracy and a republic, is not an empire, though it used to be under the Mughals, why the UK, which contains basically one peoples (there are other cultures, but those immigrated), is a Constitutional Monarchy, but used to be an Empire back when it had one, is currently not an Empire... Wrong. the UK lost its Empire, I think
