I want to explore the idea of the Hunnic Empire not only lasting much longer after the death of Atilla but also leaving a larger imprint of the European map with an actual Nation of the Huns.

The POD would take into account two things about Atilla, considering he was such an influential figure.

1. He does not die as per OTL and is able to form a successful system of succession for at least a few generations.

2. The Huns do not take over the Roman Empire. The Huns will take the historical narrative of simply wanting to dominate the European Steppe and into Germania. Rather than absorb and rule over the Roman Empres they will just stick to invading to get their annual tribute and ransoms.

Primarily this effect may just come out in positive for the West Romans, for without the power vacuum of the Huns starting when it did they just may be able to credibly make a comeback.
