    To answer this, one would have to define what “lasts” means. None of them exists as an empire any more. So if lasts=forever it was historycally the case they couldn’t do it.

      Since we’re talking about the personality traits of an individual, “lasts” can only mean until their lifetime is over.

      And there are a LOT of despots that ruled for their entire lives.
