No need to insert Pol Pot. You could just insert Nero, who was incredibly evil and who was reigning while Paul was writing.

Of course. And that's more applicable in context. Someone people are more familiar with tends to fit the modern application better though. And there are Nero persecution deniers, so I just avoid it and use someone that's pretty much undeniable. Some insert Hitler, but that's so overused I avoided it this time.
