So...? Just like the roman empire did. Nevertheless most subjugated provinces actually prospered and flourished under the rule of the "aggressive opressors".

Is Nilfgaard imperialistic? For sure. Are its laws strict and oppressive? Pretty much. Are its citizens worse off than those of the northern kingdoms? Dont think so.

Nilfgaard always seemed to represent order for me. While the northern kingdoms seemed rather...chaotic.

I suppose its comes down to if one favors a strict regime ruled by as et of laws that applies for anyone or an arbitrary kingdom where you're treated as a second class citizen or burned on the stake for having wrongly shaped ears or the wrong beliefs.
