Depends on who is talking, could be untied states if it's Russia talking, could be China if Australia talking, could be Russia if it's one of the countries invaded recently in the last 10 years.

Just try replacing "empire" with "bully that takes things against the will of its owners" and suddenly you have several options. Sometimes it's land like Russia, sometimes it's sea like China and sometimes it's Venezuelan oil ships like untied states
