History has shown that weaker nations usually try to emmulate the strongest player on the block. If that weren't Rome, it would have been some other strongman.

But it does make it necessary. The Idea of Rome was always stronger than the Republic and the Empire. Even during the hey days of the Empire, there were always strong voices to try to return to the Republic. The Idea of Rome spread beyond Roman borders but that could only have happenned with Empire, not Republic.

I have a question for you. What would be your judgement if you were Japanese and Japan won the war?
