I don't know. "Let it be the Empire" sounds like a nifty new advertising
slogan. Kind of like "Come back to Jamaica" or "Go with a winner."

Here's some other possibilities for the Empire to boost its public image:

     may'vaD 'oHHa'chochpu' neH.

     chal vaQ tIpuv.

     lay' DIchenmoHbe'taH. tlhIngan DIchenmoHtaH.

     toQDuj: "Dujpuvbel" ghajbogh Duj'e'.

     tlha'bogh puqmey' ghom wIv'e'.

Here are *very* loose translations, rot13'd:

     Vg'f abg whfg sbe onggyr nalzber.
     Syl gur ntterffvir fxvrf.
     Jr qba'g znxr cebzvfrf. Jr znxr Xyvatbaf.
     Gur Oveq bs Cerl: gur fuvc jvgu "snueirtahtra."
     Gur pubvpr bs gur Arkg Trarengvba.
