Forum:Roman Sucessor States

Were an ATL massive Roman Empire to break up, what would be the most appropriate name for the successor(or remainder) states in Europe that continued to be ruled from Rome?

* Roman Union * Second Republic of Europe * European Federation

Suggestions welcome as always.

Also, those provinces that remained under Rome's control, would the new 'empire' still be considered the Roman Empire's direct successor state or would that be a matter of argument, or would they likely claim to be the same political entity? The new 'empire' became a democracy when the Roman Empire broke up and many of the previous politicians were changed by the elections, so they could either want to perpetuate the historic heritage or be enthusiastic about the 'new' nation. Which, if any, of these is most likely?--TEAKAY 14:32, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
