Is America the spiritual successor of Roman Empire?

>>2253716
No, Russia is.

>>2253722
No, Byzantium is.

>>2253716
It really is grand

>>2253716
I think the Napoleonic code is the true spiritual successor to roman law, U.S. law is too Germanic.

It's Turkey.

Sodom and Gomorrah

>>2253716
No, that would be the Holy Roman Empire.

>>2253716
The RCC is.

Fun fact: Louisiana bases their laws on Napoleonic Code while the rest of the USA bases theirs on English Law form before independence.

State of Louisiana for Rome?

Fun fact: that statue on top of the capitol, titled "Freedom," is the highest structure in DC. The idea is that "nothing is above Freedom."

Of course, right across the Potomac are the high-rise headquarters of Northrop-Grumman and numerous other corporations, but hey, irony is cool too, right?

No they're the successor to the dumb linguistic cucks across the channel .

Sounds about right considering Rome had serious issues with its coffers and China was always the first rate power in the globe.

So, america loves to LARP as just about everything right?

They influenced their immediate neighbourhood, and beyond that they lost the culture war to a bunch of chola traders.

>>2254587
The founders thought they were making a new Roman Republic. That's why all the federal buildings in DC are based off of classical architecture.

The imperial seat for humanity changes every few hundred years.

>>2253938
It's the same thing.

Rome was an empire whilst it was still a republic even if it didn't have the Emperor yet and so is America.

>>2254939
No, we're a hegemony. Learn the difference.

>>2253716
>spiritual successor

Yes.

>actual successor

No.

>>2254596
so americans in general like to WE WUZ.
interesting.

>>2253716
Well, Neoclassicism was quite popular during the Enlightenment.

It's supposed to remind you of that time.

I don't know if anybody said the Catholic church, but I scrolled way too far down without seeing the real answer.

>pope in place of emperor (still titled Pontifex Maximus)
>next venue for Satan to attempt to take over the world under one state following Rome's fall by controlling multiple imperial nations simultaneously instead of a single superpower
>has its people praying to Saints instead of Gods. Doesn't matter, as long as they're communing with the dead so demons can fuck with them

You... do realize you didn't just buy every scrap inch of land from the French, right?

>>2253716
No, Australia is.

>>2253716
Nope it's the successor of Nazi Germany

>>2255278
>a group of nations or peoples ruled over by an emperor, empress, or other powerful sovereign or government

And don't give me any shit about the natives. they have their own cops, the ability to level their own fees and regulations on businesses, and are immune to some shit because tribes are legally considered sovereign entities. You can't garnish anyone working on a reservation, for example. This comes up enough that more than one tribe has a standard format letter they'll send collections agencies pursuing a garnishment. Sovereign when it suits them, American citizens when it's beneficial.

Our other territories can and do vote to determine their own status. PR likes being what it is and choose not to be a state. The Philippines wanted to leave and were allowed to do so.

If America is an empire because we beat the shit out of the red niggers, Great Britain is an empire because the still rule the sheepfuckers.

Rome's economy tanked too, though. It's perfectly in line.
