      Rome and Constantinople are different cities. In case if you did not know :)

        “Rightful inheritor of Constantinople” implies the continuation of the power body of Constantinople, the last capital of the Roman Empire

          I will nominate Mauritania as a true successor. A country 1000 km away from the roman province that gave it its name.

      I would of have thought it was Romania, I mean, it’s right in the name

      I’ve learnt recently that up until the establishment of the modern Greek state, the region of Greece was still called Rome: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rumelia

        West Rome: Falls in 476 because they were racist to their own troops.

        East Rome: Kicks ass until 1453 and only falls because Catholics can’t be trusted.

        East Rome Best Rome
