I mean, what were the middle parts of Italy and Germany before? Wouldn’t those technically be countries that don’t exist anymore as well?

    Yeah the Holy Roman Empire was quite the clusterfuck, fun to learn about though.

    Neither Holy, nor Roman, nor an Empire.

    Confirmed by the pope, at least at the beginning, which for Christians at the time was as holy as it could get. At the start, it controlled Rome and was actively trying to copy certain Roman motifs. Even at the start it had multiple different language groups, If the Austro-Hungarians had an empire, then so did the Holy-Romans.

    Voltaire was really just being a sassy bitch. /s

    What about the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland ?

    Or the multiple Kingdoms which existed on both islands 1,000 + years ago ?

    Historically just about the oldest recognisable country in Europe is France and even it's borders have shifted on multiple occasions.
