The empire and the kingdom are forms of statal organization. First of all, in these days Great Britain is NOT an empire (it was in the past, it also had an colonial empire, etc.). UK comes form UNITED KINGDOM. Great Britain is more like USA = United States of America. USA is not an empire either, it is a federal state. Great Britain's form of government is the monarchy, form of statal organization is the kingdom.\n\nExamples of ancient empires: The Roman Empire, The Greek Empire (of Alexander the Great), The Persian Empire, etc.\n\nMedieval-Modern empires: Ottoman Empire, Russian Empire, Austro-Hungarian Empire.\n\nthe EMPEROR rules over an EMPIRE (= many states ruled by one person (it is not the case for USA; it is a federal state))\nthe KING rules over a KINGDOM: only one state, how's form of government is the monarchy.\n\nHope you understood. If not, ask me further.\n\nGood Luck!

I would disagree with your claim that Monarchies are more stable. \n\nLook at Nepal, it's falling apart... the reason why one might think that Monarchies are more stable is that they are less frequent and therefore thier demise doesn't register in our memory compared to the collapse of Democratic systems.\n\nDid you know that Egypt was a monarchy for instance? and like the previous person who answered, many countries, including China were also monarchies? \n\nI believe that Monarchy System of Government is just like any other system, if the people are happy with it, it will will prosper, it not, then it would eventualy collapse. \n\nBesides, most of those countries you mentioned have no reason to be unstable, they're well-managed and thier people are living in relative ease. Why would people go through the trouble or even want to change the status quo?

You have misquoted what they do. Each branch is a "check", i.e., a restraint, on the other. They don't "check on" each other. Unfortunately, this President believes he does not have to accept being checked by the other branches. That is why he is being called an imperial president.

Julius was dictator, or first citizen of the Republic.  Following his death, his nephew Octavius established an imperial system for Rome.  Julius was a senator with no more power than other senators - a good deal more influence to be sure, but no more power.

I think the Emperor would beat Magneto. The Emperor has Force Lightning, Force Push/Pull, Lightsaber skills, etc. Magneto can only manipulate metal. (so, Magneto can only move metal with his mind, where as Palpy can move anything with his mind)

Man is a great general and is loved by the emperor as a son.  Emperor is killed by heir apparent and when general refuses to pledge allegience to new emperor his wife and child are killed, his estate pillaged and he is taken in the woods to be executed.  He escapes but becomes a slave and in turn a gladiator.  He must then fight his way through the ranks of the smaller venues to reach Rome and avenge his family.

Junichiro Koizumi is the current Prime Minister of Japan.\n\nNote: Like the Queen of England, the Emperor of Japan is not the head of the Japanese Government but merely a figurehead.

A king rules a kingdom.  And emperor rules an empire.  Japan used to be several kingdoms.  When the kingdoms were united, it became an Empire.  The same with Greece, Rome and Egypt.  They incorporated several kingdoms into their own, and thus became empires.  Technically, the queen of England is an Empress that rules the Bristish Empire.

Please take the time to\nvote for the best answer\n\nThank You!!\n\nYellow, the royal color used by the emperors, represents power and authority (2). It is associated with the Earth Element, which symbolizes growth (2). The Chinese word for yellow, huang, sounds like the word for "royal," and thus was chosen thousands of years ago as the exclusive color for the imperial household (1). Under the penalty of death, no Chinese person other than the emperor was permitted to be clothed in any shade of yellow or gold (1). Figure 2 below displays some portraits of some ancient Chinese emperors bearing the national color of old China, yellow/gold.\n\n\n\nIn Egypt and Burma, yellow signifies mourning.\n\nIn Spain, executioners once wore yellow.\n\nIn India, yellow is the symbol for a merchant or farmer.\n\nIn tenth-century France, the doors of traitors and criminals were painted yellow.\n\nHindus in India wear yellow to celebrate the festival of spring.\n\nIf someone is said to have a “yellow streak,” that person is considered a coward.\n\nIn Japan during the War of Dynasty in 1357, each warrior wore a yellow chrysanthemum as a pledge of courage.\n\nA yellow ribbon is a sign of support for soldiers at the front.\n\nYellow is a symbol of jealousy and deceit.\n\nIn the Middle Ages, actors portraying the dead in a play wore yellow.\n\nTo holistic healers, yellow is the color of peace.\n\nYellow has good visibility and is often used as a color of warning. It is also a symbol for quarantine, an area marked off because of danger.\n\n“Yellow journalism” refers to irresponsible and alarmist reporting

The Queen is the head of state and the Prime Minister is the head of government. teh reason for both is so that not one person would hold ALL of the power, I think they found this out the hard way years ago. I believe Kings who were tyrants, they held all the power so they did as they chose top do, thats what makes the US President unique, in that he is both head of state and of government. I think we just figured out how to fix the country..LOL

An empire generally refers to a large, concrete unit where one government exerts its power over several different peoples directly. This usually involves taxation, military presence, and adherence to empire-wide laws.\n\nHegemony is much more vague. It refers to a situation where one state has a strong amount of influence over another. That state does not necessarily directly influence the other through taxation, military presence, or laws, but nonetheless has close ties with it, and often persuades the other state to go along with its will. The hegemon is able to make its priorities the standard in other states. This includes such things as empire. An empire is always a sort of hegemony.
