There should probably be more explication about how the overall advancement of the Empire and especially it's magical advancement is a result of Fluder Paradyne's personal influence and efforts over the course of more than a century. In a very real sense, the current Empire is a tool for helping Fluder find and assemble talented mages to help him investigate what he terms "the abyss of magic."

This includes the current Emperor, Jircniv, who only nominally holds authority over Fluder (as demonstrated by his inability to do anything of real significance about Fluder even after realizing that he has been sold out to the Sorcerer Kingdom). Jircniv was not crafted as a tool for ensuring human dominance or legal justice or whatever else other people see the Empire as achieving, but to eliminate opposition to focusing the economy on further development of magic.

This is largely why the Empire is structured in such a way that the SK taking it over nearly intact was possible, with the cooperation of Fluder.

In contrast, the Re-Estize and Roble Holy Kingdoms have required extensive operations to break up and redirect their internal opposition groups in preparation for bloody civil wars to purge those groups. Meanwhile, the Slane Theocracy may have to be razed entirely unless Ainz can successfully supplant Surshana as the most powerful of the Six Great Gods. Nor could doing so be accomplished without fairly significant purges in even the best case (obtaining DCC and using it on the remaining NPC of Surshana), as significant opposition from the other sects would surely emerge in that event.
