Empire

An empire is defined as an aggregate of nations or people ruled over by an emperor or other powerful sovereign or government, usually a territory of greater extent than a kingdom. An empire can be made solely of contiguous territories or of territories far remote from the homeland, such a colonial empire. Empires commonly begin as powerful monarchies. Many empires were the result of military conquest, incorporating the vanquished states into a political union, but imperial hegemony can be established in other ways. Weaker states may seek annexation into the empire.
