Byzantine Empire
Heresy! Blasphemy! There is no such thing is Byzantine Empire, only Eastern Roman Empire!
Alright then. Officially the Eastern Roman Empire from 395 AD to 480 AD (when last Western Roman Emperor, Julius Nepos, died), and the sole official Roman Empire from then on. Overwhelmingly wealthy and powerful just like it previously used to be when it spanned from Scotland to Iraq. The government was splendidly organized, and the furiously disciplined and organized army was the envy of the world. But the bureaucracy and internal conflicts, particularly the usurpers and pretender-emperors got really out of hand. Recaptured most of their formerly lost territories, but the invasions of filthy barbarians and the Persians (another equally powerful, civilized empire) combined with enormous plagues and natural calamities destroyed and completely hollowed the empire from within. Now weak, they succumbed to a new barbarian power, the Arabs, losing 3/4 of their former empire. Another filthy barbarian kingdom in the north, Bulgaria, invaded Greece itself.
The Roman Empire, now hopelessly weak, managed to recover under a series of excellent emperors, and even recaptured Syria. By 1025, Roman Empire was again a large Mediterranean superpower, although didn't manage to reconquer much. And then again came a series of pathetic emperors who led it into ruins. Meanwhile the filthy western barbarians who broke the old empire in the west, now began pretending to be civilized and called themselves Roman. The Seljuk Turkish barbarians invaded and conquered Anatolia, the main remaining powerbase of the Romans, and the empire almost collapsed. But again a series of good emperors emerged under the Komnenoi Dynasty and almost recovered all those territories.
And then kicked in the filthy barbarians from the west, who now pretend to be civilized but were nothing other than mindless savages and marauders. They treacherously took and tragically sacked Constantinople in 1204, ending what remained of any semblence of the Roman Empire. It was re-established in 1261, but it had zero power and wealth left. The senate was, finally, gone and the Empire was almost completely dead. They continued as a rump state until 1453, when the Turkish barbarians finally slaughtered them. This brought a final end to the 2,206 old glorious Roman state.
Later filthy barbarians would continue to pretend to be Roman (some of them didn't even own the Roman territory), which proves how stupid, filthy and idiotic they were. Barbarians are barbarians after all.
Romania.
