That sort of illustrates the rich get richer problem, or actually the reverse: the poor gets poorer.
A few idiots squandering the resources in the rich empire wont make much difference because they will make up that loss quite quickly. They are rich.
On the other hand, a few idiots squandering the already strained resources in the poor empire could quite possibly be catastrophic.
And let's face it, self gratifying idiots are in abundance.
When all empires are within reach of each other power wise, it is working as intended and that's fine. It's when the balance tips significantly that the real issues occur.
