Website title:

Empires are inherently politically unstable because subordinate units almost always prefer greater autonomy, and counter-elites in such units almost always act, upon opportunity, to obtain greater autonomy. In this sense, empires do not FALL; rather, they FALL APART, ususally very slowly, thought sometimes remarkably quickly.
