Try again. Try harder.

Charlemagne's realm split into two pieces and the German part survived longer. Therefore: HRE>France

Senpai, that's pretty bad logic to live by
Ottoman Empire beats HRE by that standard

Sure, as an empire it was more succesful. But when it comes to anything else, it would have a hard time being compared to the HRE or France.

But France still exist while the HRE does not

Yeah it is, it's culturally continuous (not the same for the HRE).

The traditions and cultures of HRE live in Germany as well.
