In comparing a republic and an empire, you are trying to compare apples and Oranges. An empire is a large holding. A republic is a form of government. The two have only a marginal relationship. An empire can be any large conglomerate, such as an industrial empire, a publishing empire, a financial empire or a political empire. A republic, as said above is a form or type of government. In a republic the people elect their officials to speak for them. A political empire, such as the Roman Empire, can be ruled by a republic form of government, and it was for a time, until the principate form of government replaced the republic and ruled the empire. A more recent empire, the British empire, was ruled by a monarchy. A political empire can be ruled by various forms of government, with a republic being one of the types of government.

Empire.
A republic is democratic while an empire is not. An empire has one leader in charge of all the laws while a republic may have one supreme leader but several other people (like a Congress or Parliament) to approve laws.
