Oh yeah, I forgot about Mexico.
Although I think it lasted too little to really be an proper empire (8 months the first one and more and less 3 yeas the second one), while the Brazilian empire lasted for 67 years.

true romans are the people who were living in the kingdom of rome, the descendants of them and the people in their vicinity.
of course they're just a jumbled mess of other ethnicities as well, but you gotta draw the line somewhere
no way in hell that most italians are related to romans. Simply impossible after all the shit the place we know as italy today has been through
