Pretty much. Manga and Anime's creators have been known to mix different cultures into their creations. I presume its culture is based on Rome, due to the emperor saying it's a glorious empire that lasted for years, corruption later unraveled and the path of peace which is known as a sect (since Christianity was at the time considered a sect by the Romans and it originated in its eastern section, same as The Path of Peace). The revolts add up as well.
