How to use "Imperiously" in context?
Cities are often ruled by imperious leaders who set the tone and expectations for those who live within their boundaries. Whether it is an autocrat like Stalin or an autocratic mayor like Bloomberg, these individuals often dictate how citizens are to behave and what is considered appropriate. For example, Bloomberg mandates that all restaurant menus must list the calories and fat content of their dishes. He even went so far as to make posters that display these nutritional information cubes in subway cars. Such policies can be oppressive and stifle creativity, but they also send a message to the population that the mayor is in charge and that he is watching.
