Glub's Theory of Empire

All empires, with the exception of a few whose life span was cut short, last for approximately the same time period. Glub is very concerned about small states forming an insuperable obstacle to trade and co-operation. He expresses no hesitation at this goal. The reason for this outburst is always obscure, but most likely glub things due to jealousy of the goods, material and immaterial, that empires have.
