Currently I am re-reading the book of Eragon, and I am similiarly (Like I did in the HG) going to focus on the dictator/ruler of the main country. Every year in Carvahall, which is the town Eragon lives in, a group of traders come to sell the town all the goods they need that would last them the year. At the ending performance their is always a story-teller. At this one the story-teller Brom tells the real tale of how Galbatorix came to power. It shows how he killed most of his companions to gain leadership. Eragon's uncle then says that everyone here would have been executed if Imperial agents were here. This shows the true face of the Empire, which is ruled by a mad leader, who killed hundreds to be proclaimed as it.
As I read the series I want to see what type of people were for the king, and what actions they take to get their assignments completed. I also want to pay close attention to the color scheme and environment of major cities, and their relationship to the King. I can see what beliefs the Empire is formed on.
