The Holy Roman Empire was too good for it's world. A loose confederacy of aristocratic estates and free cities that guaranteed more liberty and freedom for its inhabitants than any other European state at the time.
It's courts protected the weak against the strong to a level not seen in Europe again until the 20th century, it contained within it models for both statist authoritarianism, as in Prussia, libertarian individualism, as in Imperial Free Knights, and even anarcho-communism, in peasant republics like the Dithmarschen.

Stop it, Voltaire, stop it now!
We are just mocking its name Hans. It was probably a better place to live in than most European kingdoms, but the name was ridiculous.

And yet peoples across all the Europe ran to Poland-Lithuania to avoid persecution and exploitation because of their social status and beliefs, Germans especially. Really makes you think, huh?
