OOC: This ATL discussion is happening on the chat

So, we got Britannia, the greeks and the Russians claiming to be the true sucessor of the Russian empire, but really, which one of them can REALLY be considered romans? The Rhomanion claims to be, but they speak greek, not latin, and they changed dynasties so much times that most of their roman legacy has been lost. The Britannians does speak latim...sorta, but they have no dinastic ties with any roman dynast, while the Russian empire did had a royal marriage between Vladimir the great and the roman princess Anna Porphyrogenita, that was during the Rurik dynasty, not under the Romanov dynasty

What are your opinions on this?

OOC²: Basically, the romano british defeated the germanic invaders and unified the british isles (including Ireland), the byzantine empire is still alive controlling greece and anatolia and the russian empire didn't feel, and the three claim to be the sucessors of the roman empire

First of all please edit this, you have a lot of typos.

The successor to the Roman Empire were the Byzantinians in our timeline. They were Greek yes but they were the only other civilized people in the eyes of the Romans. So in our timeline or your timeline the Byzatinians are the true successors of the Roman Empire if you base it off of Roman logic.

With that said, I'd love to see the effects of a united Romanized Celtic Britain. English wouldn't exist, and large areas of the world would be speaking a language similar to Welsh or Irish. Assuming a British type of empire still arises.

All of you are wrong. Everyone knows that Vesperia is the only valid successor to Rome. We may not have been part of the original Empire - obviously since Occidentalia hadn't been discovered yet - but our ancestors migrated here to escape the corruption and venality of the Empire of the Greeks and the barbarism of the Slavic and Celtic pale shadows of Rome. Only Vesperia truly holds to the core ideals of the Empire.

There's a reason they say that the heart of Rome dwells now on the Amazon.

I'm going to say all of you are wrong and say that the Vandalia is the true successors to the Roman Empire. The House of Geiseric is descended maternally from the House of Theodosius, the last dynasty to rule over a united Rome via Eudocia's marriage to Geiseric's son Huneric. The Vandalian language despite the influence of Punic, Berber and Old Vandalic, is considered amongst linguists to be the most conservative of the Romance languages.

Baahhaahaa. Everone knows that it is Britannia AND Rhomanion. We retained the military institutions, the language, etc of the West, and they evolved the Eastern Traditions.

Now, as to who is More Roman - the point is somewhat moot. It certainly isn't the Russians or the ludicrous claims of the Vesperitwits. They literally fled the two Romes to hide amongst Amazons and Troglodytes (OOC : Yes, I'm channelling Conan/Ancient Greece here), and are now trying to justify unimaginable piracy as "Due Seizure"

Now as to who has been the "Best Romans" *looks at the Indus Provinces, New Britannia (America-Canada), Azania, New Hellas (S.Brazil & Argentina)*

But then again, you can argue that with the Bailouts in 1603, 1735, 1832, and last year that Rhomanion is certainly dependent on the Britannic half of the Empire.

OOC : I figured it'd be fun to play a very.... vocal "Britannic Roman Unionist".

Oh please, all you fucking degenerate barbarian scum are wrong! The Monarchies of Britannia, Rhomania, Russia, Vandalia, and Vesperia have all been corrupted by the evil plague of Judeo-Feminist degeneracy! That's why, after the Ascension of the Harlot "Empress" Aelia I to the British throne in 1840, the last true Romans fled to Aetorea. Here, under our glorious dictatorship, we are free from pathetic Judeo-Monarchist-Matriarchal decadence, as the true heirs of Rome, fighting the good fight against the line of the Harlot and their masters, the Jews!

OOC: well, someone had to be the crazed conspiracy theorist.

The true Roman Empire is clearly the Augustus Space Station, a collaborative effort between Rhomania, Rossiya, and Brwtania space programs. Not to mention the Vandalian propulsion systems.

The language the Britons speak is far from Latin....It was basically Celtic with a few loanwords from Latin.When Church officials from Rome was able to reconnect with the Church of Britain in the late 6th century,they were basically like "WTF is this shit"?

Bah, who cares? Rome had grown degenerate for a reason. The true Spirit of Europe is with the United Kingdom of Scandinavia and Saxony. They created a true world Empire and swept away the worst of the archaic Roman world. While you look to the past and squabble over it's bread crumbs, the Norse continue to plan for the future!

The decadent Norse wouldn't know Romanity if it hit them in the face! The true successor of the Roman Empire is the far side of the Moon! Nowhere else can you get farther from barbarians.

Hah, like I'm scared of that beta make cuck Chindragon! I remember when he kicked me in that thread about the War of Imperial Restoration, when the Britons and Rhomans, before they fell into degeneracy, destroyed the vile subhuman Muslims! I personally thought they should have razed Mecca to the ground, but that moron took issue with it!

What, you think us Aetoreans are scared of a bunch of hippies? I mean, you even had trouble beating some subhuman Natives when you tried to settle Vinland! How are you cucks going to beat glorious Aetorea?
