I assume we all know that in 1204 the 4th Crusade sacked Constantinople and broke the Byzantine Empire into three main successor states, Nicaea, Epirus, and Trebizond, as well as the little Crimean state of Theodoro. We've seen TLs where one of these states reforms the Byzantine Empire and survives to modern times, but what about a scenario in which more than one of these states survives into modern times as an independant polity? For this AHC, at least two of the successor states must survive until 2012 with a PoD no earlier than the fall of Constantinople in 1204. They are allowed to reclaim Constantinople. Bonus if you can find a way to keep all four.
