But what were the stricter policies?

We only know Vader wanted to overthrow Palpatine because that's what he did to his master and the rule of two Siths seemed to be born whereas we know if the Old Republic games are canon that there used to be a lot of them.

They seem like any other empire a la the Romans and I wouldn't quite compare them to the Nazis but I can see how that comparison could be made with the way they systematically wiped out the Jedis. That said, it was more of an elimination of a group that posed a threat to them with their abilities as opposed to a systematic annihilation of a group based on ideologies per se like the Nazis did.

So like any other Empire, does it really just boil down the controlling everything just for the sake of it with no end goal or was there a goal?
