It doesn't have to be an all or nothing:
 * 1) If the article is about a government, then it's an organization that needs a reality designation and belongs under Characters.
 * 2) If it's about a place, then it doesn't need the word empire nor a reality designation and belongs under Locations.
 * 3) If it's about a race, then it doesn't need the word empire nor a reality designation and belongs under Races and Species.
 * 4) If it's about a culture or civilization, blending governments and regions across borders and epochs, then it needs guidelines for naming and guidelines for potential reality designations established and doesn't really belong anywhere on our existing comics template as there's no subsection for concepts as it were, so the relevance to inclusion on appearance lists would need established too.

To provide another example...

"Ancient Egypt" wasn't a place, the place was called "The Two Lands" meaning "Upper and Lower Egypt" and it wasn't a race, that's a modern social construct, we're all human, so that leaves us in the same place Undoniel reached with "Ancient Greece", a temporal and geopolitical culture or civilization which we have no clear place for, so once again I'm not so sure the best solution isn't a new template, call it Civilization or Empire.

That being said, the extraterrestrial empire articles are basically always utilized in a manner consistent with organizations, are they not?
