What makes an Empire evil or bad?

The definition is simply that it's ruled by one person, but nowhere does it state that it's also inherently bad.

So, what makes it bad?

Why are we assuming Sen Devadatta is evil when from what I've read in the history books and from the locals, all they did was shut their doors. We don't know the reason yet either.

It's understandable to be wary and suspicious, but I don't think it's a good idea to go in believing we're going to be arrested or worse.

An Empire's actions and philosophies are what determines if it is evil or not. "Empire" usually has a negative connotation because, at least in my world, they were known to expand territories through war and invading other countries.

While that doesn't mean Sen Devadatta is evil, the truth is we don't know either way.

Yeah, someone mentioned that before. But this empire has yet to do that and I'm hoping they don't start now. I guess we'll just have to wait and see, but I wanted some more information rather than going in blind and only relying on the textbooks.

I think we're the wrong people to ask. The borders have been closed for a while, as I understand it.

Maybe, but I wanted some opinions nonetheless because everyone is from a different world.
