What if a powerful country such as the USA, China or Russia was an evil empire?
This scenario assumes the following:
It has a large nuclear stockpile and a powerful military with at least one million personnel, it is at least totalitarian, it has a rapidly growing economy with a large population, the empire in question is a superpower or a hyperpower with a horrible human rights record and the government has universal support amongst the populace it rules over. The empire has aggressive tendencies and a wise and competent leadership
By the way: a hyperpower is a state that dominates all the others in every domain such as military and economy. Can anyone please post any links to dystopian alternate timelines in this thread?
