This is certainly a valid perspective, and the way to play it if you're running a Lunar campaign. Of course, as Jeff has pointed out, the Lunars do some pretty horrible things in Sartar, so in a 'heroic' campaign, the PCs may support the aims of the Empire without supporting its methods. But, as a whole, they're no worse than the Heortlings, even if they do have some decidedly bad eggs amongst them (quite possibly including the Emperor himself). *This* is the real moral ambiguity of Glorantha, IMO.
Pre-Lunar Dara Happa is a slightly different kettle of sausages. I don't think I'd much fancy living there, especially if I were female - Sartar might well be a better bet. But, since the triumph of the Lunars, that's no longer generally a problem.
