The Court at Versailles served a similar purpose for the French kings.

@cat_and_cabbage4662 So you are using the word Empire in a different sense than historians use it to describe political systems. A word can have different definitions and your argument probably fails if you’re using the wrong definition.

@nomdeguerre7265 China bears all the signs of being an empire. Russia would be an example of an empire in contraction. The U.S.? The U.S. needs a different word. I suggest we describe the U.S. as a hegemony. It certainly has used both hard and soft power to promote and maintain the order that emerged after WWII. But the U.S. hegemony lacks many of the distinguishing features of empires.
