The cheek!
A generic pronoun is 'ones' or 'an' not necessarily your.

Would you accept a generic possessive pronoun then?
Well, generic in the sense that most people would use it without thinking, expecting a reasonable person reading it to understand they just meant a given person's empire


>By the time your empire is big enough for logistics to become onerous...

So, this sentence of Max's could also read: "By the time one's empire is big enough to become onerous..."

And there we have a generic possessive pronoun!
