Russia, China, and India, definitely. Each contains a large number of conquered lands and peoples.
US and Canada each have tiny numbers of conquered peoples pushed into reservations. Not very empire-like.
Britain has Wales, N.Ireland, and Scotland. They're all the same, right? France contains a bunch of smaller Frances that surrendered to the big France. Bah, who cares?

There are still empires, they just aren't called empires anymore because the term empire has acquired negative connotations. Now days empires are called "Great Powers" or "Superpowers." a country is only called an empire now days in the form of negative comments towards said country (e.g. "Evil Empire")Comment

Interesting comments.
I'd like to see modeled an empire meltdown like the USSR suffered. Also when democratic countries defeat an enemy that enemy is reconstituted, perhaps minus a city or two and with mandatory gooddies delivery, reparations payments...Long time member @ Apolyton

Who says it doesn't count?Originally posted by Elok
Why doesn't the U.S. count as an Empire?Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment

Lancer, in the OP. Well, at least implied, though I suppose technically it depends on what you mean by "conquered peoples," yadda yadda...Comment

Re: Why no more empires and why doesn't Civ model this?
Originally posted by Lancer
No more great empires full of conquered people left, yes? Why not and why do empires never break up in Civ? How could they model this?
The main thing is that Civ doesn't attempt to model internal politics. It would be rather complicated. You can create a scenario, and maybe an event file could do something like that. I dunno, talk to the scenario people.(\__/) Save a bunny, eat more Smurf!

Didn't Dick Cheney proclaim the United States an empire? I distinctly recall seeing a clip of Cheney saying: "Well, we're an empire you know." I wish I knew where I could download a video clip of that."I say shoot'em all and let God sort it out in the end!Comment

For those who aspire to live in a high cost, high tax, big government place, our nation and the world offers plenty of options. Vermont, Canada and Venezuela all offer you the opportunity to live in the socialist, big government paradise you long for. –Senator RubioComment
