You make a good point. Why would anyone, really understanding the term 'Empire', accept an award titled as such? The whole antiquated system reflects perfectly the antiquated mindset of those harking back to a more oppressive era. Imperialism, of course, brings benefits but these are always at the expense of the indigenous population and very often the oppression/suppression is more than just a brutal act.
