I am good and glad to see here stories of Byzantine resilience and re-wanking, but I want for once to ask the community if it could think of a scenario where the ERE survived after 1453 until now being surrounded for most of the time by the Ottoman behemoth with the scarce remains, so Morea and/or Constantinople, and naturally still being recognized from the international community as Eastern Emperors. Personally the best scenario I could think is survival of Byzantine Morea through the ages despite the loss of Constantinople, but certainly if someone manages to build a scenario where the Emperor could coexist in the second Rome with the Ottoman Sultan, is more than welcomed.

Eventually if someone would push the envelope to think in 19th centure the ERE managed to retrieve Greece is fine, but the intention of the AHC is to keep the Empire smaller or "essential" (so not beyond the borders of Greece) as possible.
