We should just have T-Swift redraw all national borders. Whatever she picks is final, no more wars about it.

I feel like I'm missing a couple steps... how?
How am I supposed to laugh at this, there's no airplane
Literally one of the Eastern Roman(aka Byzantine) Emperors was called "the Bulgar Slayer" because he killed so many bulgarians.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basil_II
Basil II Porphyrogenitus (Greek: Βασίλειος Πορφυρογέννητος Basileios Porphyrogennetos; 958 – 15 December 1025), nicknamed the Bulgar Slayer (Greek: ὁ Βουλγαροκτόνος, ho Boulgaroktónos), was the senior Byzantine emperor from 976 to 1025
..............................
Basil exacted his vengeance cruelly—he was said to have captured 15,000 prisoners and fully blinded 99 of every 100 men, leaving one one-eyed man in each cohort to lead the rest back to their ruler. A possible reason for this vengeance was that, in Byzantine eyes, the Bulgarians were rebels against their authority, and blinding was the usual punishment meted out to rebels. Samuel was struck down by the sight of his blinded army and died two days later on 6 October 1014 after suffering a stroke.
In what way Bulgaria has claims to this? Greece, Russia, Turkey, Italy, Romania, Albania and Serbia have a more legit claim than Bulgaria.
How do Russia, Albania and Serbia have claims? I'm not objecting, just curious.
Moscow is considered the third Rome(by russians), Russia considers itself as the continuation of the Byzantine Empire and the protector of Christianity(orthodox). Hence all their wars against the Ottoman Empire/Turkey, their support for the creation of a greek state, etc.
Some Byzantine Emperors were from Albania(Illyria).
Some descendants of Byzantine Empire Emperors were married to serbian rulers.
But in the end, we all know who is the real successor
:)
edit: I have a Greek friend who travels a lot. She was in Istanbul and she told me that her mother once said "You have seen all around Greece. You've seen Athens, Thessaloniki, Alexandroupoli, Kos, Constantinople"
It's monarchist/Orthodox brain rot, by having spent any time thinking about it at all you have already done more than the people who believe it.
The world would have been so much better if everyone just could have fun with these "beliefs" and not actually believe them. Imagine a world where Alex Jones and Trump were just comedians, like Colbert Report.
I would of have thought it was Romania, I mean, it's right in the name

I've learnt recently that up until the establishment of the modern Greek state, the region of Greece was still called Rome: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rumelia
West Rome: Falls in 476 because they were racist to their own troops.
East Rome: Kicks ass until 1453 and only falls because Catholics can't be trusted.
East Rome Best Rome
Rome and Constantinople are different cities. In case if you did not know :)
"Rightful inheritor of Constantinople" implies the continuation of the power body of Constantinople, the last capital of the Roman Empire
East Roman Empire.
Aka, the Roman Empire. The part that lasted a thousand years longer than the simps in Rome.
I will nominate Mauritania as a true successor. A country 1000 km away from the roman province that gave it its name.
This story is so wrong ….cuzz the battle that ends with every 100th 1 eyed man is the battle with the last Macedonian Tzar Samoil….The son of the last Bulgarian Tzar actually was one of the Judas that betrayed Samoil before that battle.
