Empires are globalist-tier aids. The world is better if there are many cultures co-existing (but not mixing)

Your king literally ran off to one of your colonies, leaving you kingless.

For a lot of colonial empires many of the colonies were unprofitable for the governments. Individual companies gained a lot of wealth, but the administration and everything else involved required a lot of tax revenue.

Because empires were established to control the regional resources to improve the power of the core nation. Guess what First World countries do nowadays without the need to be there exercising direct control?

Colonies were very very great in the days of mercantilism and early capitalism.

I always see the colonies were unprofitable as pure hogwash because the data gor profits and expenses ate largely unknown (they exist very much so in abundant numbers but you have to go to the place that stores the papers and records)
