Well, if your speaking literally, a country becomes and empire when the democracy is switched for a monarchy. So instead of a president, there would be a King and Queen, and royal family.

If your speaking in the sense that illustrates the loss of power of the citizens, then a country becomes an empire when the whole of it is consumed by one specific industry.

For instance, if we were once a united country, free to do whatever we would enjoy, and then we all turned into factory working people, we would have become an Industrial Empire.
