    Well we’ve had Rome, Eastern Rome, Holy Rome, Imperial Russia, Imperial Spain, fascist Italy, Nazi Germany, Greece, all of which claimed to be the continuation of Rome, so I think this would be the 8th or 9th Rome.

    The senate would start with an American, a brit, a greek, a turk, a bulgarian, a frenchman, and everyone else who just claimed to carry the legacy of Rome.

      It sounds like a conference where everyone would argue about who invented baklava or kebabs or some shit that would set the world alight in nuclear hellfire

      Don’t forget Ottoman Turkey, one of titles of Sultan since Mehmed II was Kayser-i Rum which literally mean “Roman Emperor” and this was even acknowledged by some treaties with Italians and even German Emperors.
