To add to my earlier post, I think that all my suggestions, except perhaps civitas, relate to the Empire as the Roman State in a political, rather than a geographical, sense. I do not think that the Romans saw 'empire' as a firm geographical entity, as we tend to do, but as the more nebulous concept of 'sphere of influence'.

Strive mightily, but eat and drink as friends.
