I might as well make a series on misconceptions in the misconception series.

Naploeon wasn't short. If memory serves he was 5'2" in French units, which is 5'7", slightly more than average at the time. This whole myth began when the British started depicting Napoleon as short, or purposely using the French units, in propaganda and political cartoons, among other things.

Russia wasn't actually the Roman Empire. That was more of a claimed thing, similar to how Charlemagen supposively had an empire of his own of holy and Roman proportions. Also the way you phrased that made it sound like you made a series of errors, "1917 AD: 4-D. This Empire lasted for going on 2700 years, from the First Legendary King of Rome to the Fall of Constantinople." If you're saying upto the fall of Constantinople then that would be 1453.

True, those states may have defeated Russia in a war, but none of them annexed or forcefully vassalized all of settled Russia at any point.
