@IAmDannyBoling I mean, it makes for a good zinger, but as a historian, there really isn't any sound basis for calculating the "lifespan of an Empire": what states and polities do or don't consider as a continuity of themselves is a pretty arbitrary measure! And which states do and don't get treated as Imperial is pretty arbitrary and arguable too.
And even if one does agree the data set, a mean average isn't very meaningful without thinking about how the data are clustered/distributed...
