      Not really sure that 13 years with no imperial ambitions counts as an empire. Unless the words are all that counts, I’m which case the US isn’t an empire

        Are you trying to No True Scotsman the Korean Empire? They’re on the list! They even lasted longer (by 1 year) than Nazi Germany did as an empire!

        Anyway I’d encourage you to look at the list. There have been many empires in history. You don’t have to be one of the “great empires” (such as the Kushite Empire) to be on the list.
