Venkatesh Rao@vgr·Mar 4, 2022Replying to @vgrPeople have very loose definitions of “empire” I am kinda old-fashioned. I need an actual emperor or empress.24
Venkatesh Rao@vgr·Mar 4, 2022Replying to @atduskgregNo but Klingon and Romulan empires do. Not that the federation is any good, it’s just not bad in an imperialist way.1

Tuesday@Tuesday81865744·Mar 4, 2022Replying to @vgrDoes there have to be an Emperor to have it count as an Empire, or just be large, powerful and expansionist?
