What? What has Romania have to do with anything? We don’t want to be the successor of the Roman empire.
Edit: I think I prefer to be the romma country instead of roman empire.
Romania: Romania.
N. Cyprus is not a country
Romania ..did we claim that?
How can Russia claim to be the successor of the Roman Empire when it was never part of it?
Even today, Serbia still has Byzantine coat of arms integrated into Serbian coat of arms (but it is justified as it “has a different meaning”).
Spain is missing i think?
Didn’t some Spanish king buy a claim from some Byzantine dude?
I’m going to go out on a limb and say nobody is the successor to the roman empire
But when Austria did claim it Hungary and Croatia and Checzia and Slovakia ( and half of Romania) were parts of Austria. And in their Parliaments and offices the official language was Latin till the Romantic Natioñalist reformes of the 1840s. And Latin was also used in Poland / which included Lithuania and Belarus and most of Ukraine. So this also a Roman inheritance they all should be green.
I was reading a book on Romanian history, to impress my then girlfriend anyway, aren’t Romanians technically Dacians but because dacians are looked on historically as uncivilised barbarians, like all enemies of Rome, the creation story of the Romanian nation has some sort of Roman-Dacian nation emerging from interbreeding between the two?
Afaik, the Holy Roman Empire (who claimed to be a successor to he Roman Empire) was dissolved in 1806 and neither Germany nor Austria claimed themselves to be a legal successor to the HRE?
Therefore, neither “Germany” no “Austria” should be green on this map.
Alternatively, if we count just territories of the HRE (whick makes little sense re. the title), Czech republic and Switzerland should also be green.
Weird map.
I was trying to understand how a country that’s responsible for the definitive fall of the Roman Empire can claim to be a successor. Then I realised they have a pretty solid claim, since they literally followed them up in terms of geography.

Why Austria but not Hungary?
