There he is. There he goes again. Look, everyone! He posted it once again! Isn't he just the funniest guy around?! Oh my God.
I can almost see your pathetic overweight frame glowing in the dark, lit by your computer screen which is the only source of light in your room, giggling like a like girl as you once again type your little HRE thread up and fill in the captcha. Or maybe you don't even fill in the captcha. Maybe you're such a disgusting NEET that you actually paid for a 4chan pass, so you just choose the picture. Oh, and we all know the picture. The "hilarious" smug French intellectual, isn't it? I imagine you little shit laughing so hard as you click it that you drop your Doritos on the floor, but it's ok, your mother will clean it up in the morning. Oh, that's right. Did I fail to mention? You live with your mother. You are a fat fucking fuckup, she's probably so sick of you already. So sick of having to do everything for you all goddamn day, every day, for a grown man who spends all his time on 4chan posting about a historical realm. Just imagine this. She had you, and then she thought you were gonna be a scientist or an astronaut or something grand, and then you became a NEET. A pathetic Voltairefag NEET. She probably cries herself to sleep everyday thinking about how bad it is and how she wishes she could just disappear. She can't even try to talk with you because all you say is "THE HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE WAS NEITHER HOLY, ROMAN NOR AN EMPIRE" You've become a parody of your own self. And that's all you are. A sad little man laughing in the dark by himself as he prepares to indulge in the same old dance that he's done a million times now. And that's all you'll ever be.

>What other historical entity is most closest in comparison?

Most kingdoms in middle ages.

Because of the way Feudalism works it is possible for a landowner to hold titles in multiple domains. It happened with Normandy, Burgundy, the HRE, and most other places in Europe.
Apart from this and memes though, id like an answer to this question as well. What kind of powers did the HR emperor have?

The Frankish empire of Charlemagne? You seem to confuse medieval entities with modern nation states. Which just is plain wrong.
