Continuing from this thread We need to discuss the important topic of why some empires are simply better than others, why some nations have contributed more to history, been of more benefit to humanity, and where they all fit in the grand tier list of history.
Keep your memes out of here this is a serious discussion thread.
Using the system shown here I have deduced that the initial post is not sarcastic.
Tyler Flores
Yes, the :^) isn't totally sarcasm

Oh also architecture, dress, etiquette in pretty much fucking everything If you respect Japanese culture so much I assume you want to be part of it. Why don't you seppuku, that'd be the ultimate assertion of how Japanese you are

Poland and the PLC were great reservoirs of culture and development throughout the entire 15th and 16th centuries. It was rich and (relatively) stable, and was probably one of if not the nicest place to live during those centuries in the middle of the last millennium.
Swedeshitters ruined it though, they looted and burnt almost every palace, library, archive and gallery in the PLC, they massacred, in some places, up to 3/4 of the population, and are the reason Poland in the last few centuries has gone from France-Tier to what it is now.

OP is a successful troll but seriously, somebody make a proper list

They have bullied my country for centuries. This is how I get back at them.

you're right, the whole concept is ridiculous. It's best if none of us even attempt this history channel tier bullshit

Ranking based on what? How badass you think they are?
Michael Robinson
The British Empire is one of the most overrated empire in existence. The only reason they became so influential is because they had a sea seperating them from Europe and because they attacked nations far weaker than themselves, and couldn't win in a fair fight without help from other nations such as Prussia (Napoleonic Wars), Russia (Napoleonic Wars WW1 and WW2), France (WW1) America (WW1 and WW2).
Luke Lewis
No, based on their contribution (not in utilitarian or moral or other metaphysical bullshit terms) and net affect on the transpirations of modern society and the memorability and impression of them as cited by credible historians.
Austin Kelly
>affect
Which credible historians? I'd say that all civilizations that we know of are memorable. Which metrics are you using to measure the "affect" on modern society, and the memorability and impression of them?

Into the trash. The only things that matter are longevity and contemporary relevance.
Juan Rivera
Contributions is longevity, though.
Athens and the Roman Empire secured a longevity of their ideals into 'Western' civilisation. Tang Dynasty consecrated the Han idea of 'China' into something that lasts until today, the world's largest nation. The United States globalised the world.
Aiden Sanders
By longevity I mean the country's length of existence. Not shit like Zhang in Ching Chong empire invented the compass so Ching Chong empire is the greatest ever.
Noah Thompson
Oh. So you're just stupid.
Tyler Watson
t. Ching Chong
Christian Baker
t. Icelandic "Master race"
Zachary Bennett
But I'm American, Mr. Kung Pao.
Bentley Bennett
But Iceland's been around for 1000 years or so. That must mean it's super important and influential to the world. :^]
Ryan Gomez
I'm the guy you actually replied to but yes, I think /pol/ would be more suited to your insecurity and inability to critically think at a primary level.
If you're talking about a 'country's' length of existence then the United States is trivial, and all the enlightenment era European states are trivial as well, retard. kys
Connor Russell
Actually it wasn't, it was a part of Denmark and whatnot.
Noah Murphy
It's been continually inhabited by the same people since that time. But if government longevity is what you're looking for, Liechtenstein might be your favorite.
Gabriel Sanchez
People don't matter, only legal status does.
Jackson Davis
Oh, so you are trolling. Cool.
Thomas Howard
>Tokugawa khanate
Jayden Perry
I'm not trolling, people literally matter fuck all, it's a matter of legal continuity. Hence why the "Byzantine" empire was still Roman empire even though it was majority Greek and not Latin.
Aaron Barnes

Literally crumbled as soon as alexander died

they should make a containment board for newfag baiters so that they could learn to actually make entertaining and worthwhile shitposts /kys/ or something
Jaxson Cox
So the HRE, Russia and the Ottoman Empire were all the Roman Empire?
Jayden White
Sounds to me like you're a buttblasted gook mad about the fact modern China's history literally began in the 1940s and has nothing to do with the kingdoms of old.
Jonathan Cruz
us empire
Benjamin Gray
Ottoman empire maybe, but it's highly debatable. Russia, fuck no.
Ayden Ramirez
By their own legal claims, the Tsar of Russia was Caesar of the Romans.
Zachary Richardson
There was absolutely no legal continuity though, some prince just married a Roman princess and that was it.
Josiah Myers
What does legal continuity entail besides a formal claim to a title?
Angel Morris
>Anyone who isn't a pseud considering China must be East Asian >The Mao killed Chinese culture meme
You can't kill a continent's most fucking pervasive culture through a few autistic sperges. The very testament of Confucian values, new years, traditional master morality and mandate of heaven still being very much present and observable means that the the modern CCP is 'China' in the same sense the Tang Dynasty helped define 'China', jesus.
If you go down the rabbit hole that is the technicality of a state to breach its conventions then there will be no way to form a consensus
Jason Reed
>70 year old country
Don't even talk to me
Levi Rivera
I'd actually go so far as to say that the DRC is the first successor state to the Ming Empire since it fell. The Qing were openly Manchu ruled by foreign Manchus. The DRC administer most of what is claimed as China, with a government ruled by ethnic Han Chinese.
