Absolutely the British Empire, although I obviously must declare a national bias.

Most technological advancement the world has ever known, spreading democracy, the rule of law and cricket thousands of miles!
 
Miles was the correct answer.
The British Army still thinks in miles ..... just ask the hundreds of British soldiers that I trained in Alberta.
 
I initially voted for the Tibetan Empire but - after a bit of research - concluded that Tibetans were an argumentative lot, who settled their arguments with spears.

What about the Zimbabwe Empire?

The safe bet is always the British Empire which exported Scottish doctors and engineers throughout the empire. Have you read the book 'How the Scots Invented Canada?'
