این زمانه/دوران مردم را مثل فرمانده ها کرده است

It seems that "imperent" is the third-person plural present active subjunctive of imperō. http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/impero#Latin

imperō means "to command".

I found "imperant", too, which means "commanding".

"imperent" here is a mispronunciation of "impertinent"
A lot of the characters in the story are semi-literate. The author captures their regional speech patterns. For other examples of this mispronunciation, see:

For the Lincolnshire accent, see:

It is almost impossible to understand.
