Bureaucracy! That is the main problem of the empire and mostly the republic. The republic fell because the size of the empire was to big, the events were moving rapidly and there was no time for bureaucracy, voting, debating and so on.

That gave the empire 200 years more to live, although because of its size and changeable political currents it was never to last as a permanent state.
