The evil empire is a meritocracy that acknowledges natural order: those more capable are groomed to become aristocrats and rule over the rest.
The succession of the emperor is done by the emperor's son challenging his father to mortal combat. If he kills him, he becomes the new emperor. The problems with such a succession system are never addressed or commented on by the game (that I saw).
Some key words the game uses to describe the empire include “fascist”, “colonial” and “imperialist”.
While the game acknowledges that the evil empire in the present was the victim in the past, that doesn't matter to the protagonist, who still helps the empire's oppressors in the past because all she cares about is revenge.
Because she's a stone cold bish.
The motivations of the evil empire (which seems to be a working society) are to study the Timespinner and learn how it works. They were originally a colony of another empire who exiled them to a foreign planet because they lacked a certain power (black girl magic) and they eventually rebelled and became their own nation.
Their planet has a unique incurable disease that affects everyone from the empire.
Also, their society is plagued by dæmons because the lesbian queen 1000 years ago made a pact with them to help her stop their colonial oppressors and dæmons have been a problem since.
While all of this adds some nuance to the story, the protagonist repeatedly states how she doesn't care about any of it and continues her terrorism campaign from the past and present, helping the colonial oppressors to ensure the empire never grows strong.
The big reveal is that the evil emperor who killed your mother... is your father. You must kill your own father to win the game.
And when the protagonist learns that, she states that she doesn't care and will kill him anyway. She's one badass girlboss who will literally smash the patriarchy.
