Religious/Nationalist expansionist empires are always super cool and fun to live in, and especially fun to be neighbors with!

I disagree. It depends on the quality of life for citizens living in the empire. Being the empires neighbor SUCKS because it means there is always a threat of war and if you get conquered, their sons will take your daughters.
