I like how this forum has become more mature and serene. Everyone calmly talks about Byzantium, with no attempts whatsoever to argue about the name.

Because the true chads know that the true heirs of Rome are the Ottomans. Fight me.

Because everything that needed to be said about the Roman Empire has already been said.
The Treaty of Constantinople ensured freedom to call the Empire whichever you please.
Or was it the Treaty of Istanbul?
Or was it the Treaty of Istanbul?
At the same time, on the Chinese Internet Paradox Player Forum.
Originally, this was just a meme, but I didn't expect anyone to be interested in the information inside. I decided to translate this meme.

Now I am just confused. When did Romania have Rome?
What is national flag colors suppose to mean?
Why is "garrison troops/peasants open up wasteland and grow food grain" or "great wall" a category?
What happend to the water bottle in the translation and why is it considered in this list?
How much is the CCP giving you?

This is just a meme, you don't need to think too much. And the last one is a bit offensive. I don't know if you have any special understanding of China, but you should know that a government that can govern for a long time naturally has its advantages.
Regarding the first one, it is because of the first half of Romania's name.
The colors of the national flag are purely hard pressed because they are all red.
Tuntian and the Great Wall do not belong to the same category, but were placed because both China and Rome had such policies and buildings in history.
That bucket of water is also hard pressed, to mock the Holy Roman Empire for not having straits and enclosed seas
To be honest, this makes me a bit frustrated, which means we may never be able to truly understand each other. What I find funny is just confusion in your eyes.
I think it's more with the name ROMania hase ROME in it.
colors are just for identification afaik
great wall refers to China or Hadrian's wall
posting my (partial) answer (though I didn't get the "troops/peasants" part) mainly to reassure @zeruosi humour can indeed be shared

And how can I now blame Germans for trying to cosplay as Romans, when even Chinese do it? Roman culture is truly a supreme one.
Most Chinese people really like the Roman Empire. (Much more beloved than the Persian Empire, Arab Empire, and Peacock Empire.)
Greatness belongs to Greece, glory belongs to Rome!

By the way, since you're Chinese and seem to be interested in history - when you're finally going to open the tomb of the first emperor? What do the people say about it in China? That's one of the top archeological things I'm waiting for (probably on par with finding the tomb of Alexander the Great). Everyone knows where it is, but your archeologists still refuse to open and study it, citing the fresh air "could damage the interior".
Seriously, guys, open it during my lifetime and don't make me wait too long.
This reminds me;
Tinto flavor about the ERE will be released at 14:53 and I WILL cry about it…

I think it may never open, because on the one hand, technology cannot save it. The Terra Cotta Warriors were colored when they were first excavated, but they quickly lost their color due to oxidation. The same reason also appears in the excavation of bamboo slips. Many bamboo slips oxidize and turn black as soon as they are excavated, making them unreadable. This is a form of damage.
As for another reason, there was indeed an extremely large amount of mercury in the tomb of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, which was a serious problem for archaeological excavations.

I didnt make any political references. The "How much is the CCP paying you" is a meme in itself. You hear that even regarding Tencent. I know too little about internal chinese politics to make a comment on it.
The Ottomans have a red flag as well.
Tbh it would be weird if the Ottoman built any walls. Fortifications, but not long walls. By the time the Ottomans came around canons were a thing. Imagen they build a wall along the Danube. Everyone across the other side would simply laugh.
