Who makes the important decisions in an autocracy?
That would depend on your definition. The general voting public can pick people to represent their interests as legislators (people who make laws) and executive officers (the people at the top overseeing everything), on the local, state, and national level. Those people are given further power by the voters to appoint judges to interpret the law and establish government agencies to regulate other aspects of our country's society. So in essence, everybody from the lowliest voter to the President of the United States has some kind of say in government.
What form of government offers the BEST solution to control factions?
Democracy, then factions are no longer a concern since theoretically the biggest one will always be the Government.
No. The term "Empire" only applies to Rome between the periods 44BC - 1453 AD. It was, however, a republic, for 500 years before 44BC, and did control several territories during that time, with an area of 1,950,000 km2 (752,899 sq mi).
If you look up the definition of "empire" in the dictionary, you will find that Rome actually was an empire in 133 BC. There is a mistaken belief that the empire began with Augustus. Historians never refer to the reign of Augustus and those after him as the empire, they use the proper name, the principate.
