OOC: Well technically the only thing you need to have to be an empire is an emperor, right?

OoC/ Yes, and? Being an Empire is more than just being a monarchy, it's not like Empire and Kingdom are interchangable. Being and Empire implies that you're better than any Kingdom in the world, that you rule not only by divine right but because you yourself are divine, that your nation is actively attempting to assert their authority through territorial aquisitions and the subordination of foreigners!
Any nation that isn't massively powerful and calls itself an Empire is being very arrogant in doing so.
Half the nations in this game seem to be Empires, the other half seem to be independent city-states. How boring. /OoC
