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.

Please keep in mind, this is a vast oversimplification of the story, but it's a very long story and not one I really like to tell as it's still too soon.
Before I came here, I fought a fal'Cie, a kind of deity on my world, with five others. We fought our fates and yet fulfilled it as well. The fal'Cie has the power to make you into a l'Cie, whether you want it or not. We were given the power of the l'Cie and our Focus was to destroy Cocoon with Ragnorak.
We killed the fal'Cie instead, but we completed our Focus all the same. I can only hope the people made it out in time.
I turned to crystal, the "reward" for completing my Focus. And then, I arrived here.
