* Alfard from the ''VideoGame/BatenKaitos'' video games is an interesting example in that there's no resistance against it. The reason: the empire works to instill extreme civic pride in all of its citizens, so that the idea of acting against it has all the attractiveness of stepping on one's own foot.

[[spoiler: The one and only time such a minor act of resistance was even considered, the Empire subjected the offending village to a massacre so severe that it is a barren ghost town years later.]]

to:

* Bronquia in ''VideoGame/YggdraUnion'' [[spoiler:except not.''VideoGame/YggdraUnion'', led by the [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Emperor of Carnage]] Gulcasa. It has all the trappings, being the aggressor in the ongoing war with [[TheGoodKingdom Fantasinia]], being overall more militaristic in appearance, vanguarded by a battalion of dragon-mounted cavaliers wielding Death-inspired [[SinisterScythe sickles]]. To top it all off, Gulcasa himself wields a skill called Genocide, which is every bit a sinister as it sounds. [[spoiler: This, however, turns about to be a subversion. The history of both monarchies is ''far'' more complicated than is initially apparent, with Bronquia being much more benevolent and Fantasinia far more brutal than their respective tropes would reflect. Gulcasa is still as ruthless as his reputation, but his motives are fairly sympathetic, and none of that ruthlessness translates into how he rules his own kingdom.]]
