Key Findings
Rome dominates in 13/15
More pragmatic than the Empire
Equally strong at Porter
Both: military monopoly
Both weak at Psych. Safety
Force choke vs decimation
Biggest gap: Culture Map
Monocultural vs multicultural
Rome delegated to proconsuls (4.0/7), the Empire centralised everything on Palpatine (1.8/7). Rome's provincial autonomy lasted 500 years — Palpatine's centralisation collapsed in a single generation.
Both dominate at Porter (4.5/5) and BATNA (4.0+). Whether legions or Death Star — military superiority creates identical market positions. The difference lies not in strength, but in fragility.
Culture Map: 3.2 vs 1.5. Rome integrated cultures pragmatically — local gods allowed, local laws OK. The Empire enforced homogeneity. The largest single difference in the entire comparison.
Psych. Safety: 1.0 vs 0.8 — both catastrophic. Whether decimation or Force choke, fear-based leadership is the shared weakness of all empires. And the reason both ultimately fail.
