I don't think I like the idea of using avatar stats for empire rating. By the I mean "number of enemies killed" and such. It is easy to exploit and it won't decease when an empire is not maintained.
I would much rather see the number of avatars in an empire count, and the overall age of the empire (age of oldest cities and ships). We all have 6 avatars that we can add to an empire per account, not everyone will do this, for example if an empire heavily relay on proxy empires, they will have fewer avatars in their empire.
What about something simply along the lines of this:
It is also somewhat important to make the score not totally reflect the empire, or you can sit and calculate the amount of ships they have.
I am not completely sure how best to add age or tech into the formula though.
This is off the given topic. Make a separate discussion thread about it if you want to discuss it more.

Code:
empire_score = ( ( number_of_colonized_worlds + number_of_cities ) / 2 + number_of_officered_spacecraft + number_of_empire_members ) / 3I am not completely sure how best to add age or tech into the formula though.
