In the fantasy its called The Empire. Interesting question. I think they are diferent in many levels. In fantasy you could argue that the Empire is better protected but they actually don't have the whole of mankind in their dominion. And they only controll a small part of the world. Large chunks are controlled by other fractions or are nomansland. While in 40k the Imperium's influence stretches across the milkiway galaxy anlthough they share their claimed territories with others. The Imperium does seem to have one of the strongest and largest armies in 40k and although the same could be said for the Empire, the Empire could not campaighn like the Imperium. I think the Imperium is doing better in relation to its might compared to its enemies, but the Empire is doing better as far as self preservation.
