How does it feel to be nothing more than a by-product of this empire? Just face it, your country and its politics, its history, its infrastructure, its culture, is but an off-shoot created by the people of this island.
How does it feel for those of you living in countries hundreds of times our size that you got cucked by a small city on the Mediterranean?
Are we just a blessed people? Were we put on this earth to govern and rule? What is it that makes this city, this small area, so dominant?
You could be from France, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Yugoslavia, Egypt, Romania, Germany and many other. You could be from any of these countries, but you're nothing more than just another landmass with a shit history of genociding your own people and getting colonised. You're just another tricolour, A shit republic with a shit democratic system, a commoner president, no history, no culture, no heritage.
Some countries literally consist of shopping centres and coffee shops off bland highways. You will never live in Rome. The promised land. You will never wake to the sound of Roman trumpets from the local barracks on a warm summers morning, to walk the rolling fields of Latium, to see the Coliseum, the baths, the temples, the school of thought and the great libraries. No, you live in a shit hole, probably near a volcano or something weird. Having revolutions in your favela district every weekend and getting shot in supermarkets.

Although present day Hungary's got nothing to do with the Ancient Roman Empire, we still appreciate the era's leftover remains. In fact, I just got back from Aquincum with my gf, which was once the capital of Pannonia.
Easton Rogers
There are no volcanos in Ireland.
Hudson Reyes
In its golden age the city was home to 60,000 people, had two amphitheatres, hundreds of baths, and was famous for its wine.

Feels pretty bad, actually. I wish the romans didn't culturally and politically genocide my ancestors and didn't condemn us to a joke just because of the name we've kept for ourselves.
