any empire falls
the tricky thing is to how balance it so it falls later than sooner
rome did it by cultural hegemonization and Military regionalisms
same for Byzantium but they devoluted a little more to Slavs albanians and armenians giving them regional authonomism
same for Austria-hungry
the Germans and Italians kept etnic hegemony
spain gave their subject's regional authonomism
portugal wss too little to have infighting and with their colonies they promoved a ludo tropical multiracial but monocultural approach, as well as a caste system and partial devolution (creating the kingdom of brazil to appease nationalists here)
france culturaly centralized their nation
ancient charlamanes empire dealt with it by partition amongst sons
the muslims kept an empire by berber cultural hegemonism
same for china
religious too
india had the caste system and subsequently was kept united by shared islamic rule
the only way to keep an empire is to either do a feudal approach a devoluted approach or a homogenous approach
either way your empire, regardless of race culture religion or ideology, will fall
its just a matter of when were and on what terms
