not to be confused with the Roman Empire of years before, this was pretty much a non-conquering empire (by comparison). It was basically a group of 300 small territories in central Europe. This included Germany, Austria, parts of France and Italy, as well as Russia's neighbours, which later became known as the Eastern Bloc (See warsaw pact). Although not quite a country in it's own right, the hundreds of lands, known to some as the confederation of the rhineland, would unite during wartime to defend thier common interest. Although headed by a general emporer, he had little, if any to some, control over his barons, dukes and knights who declared themselves kings. It was really a pseudo-fuedal kingdom in which one part disliked the next, and did as they pleased. After more than 950 years in existance, it dissolved in 1806, the leading family continuing to rule Austria. It also lead to the creation of Germany.
The holy roman empire was known as the first reich, with the formation of germany the second. Hitler called his regime the third reich to remind people of better times.

A holy hot messy federation of nightmarish boiling pot of hundreds of principalities, kingdoms, duchies and bishopric
known as the First Reich located at modern day Germany, the low-land Europe (Netherlands and Belgium), Austria and Northern Italy. Existed from medieval ages to the Napoleonic Wars and is one of the main causes of Europe being a bloody hell mess fuckery back then. Blame the Pope for creating this beast straight from hell.
Can be used to describe something being extremely messy.

When you take your date out to a heavy Italian dinner, then take them home, get a blowjob and push their head in until they almost puke, yell “respect the sacred Roman empire” drape them with the bedsheets so it look like they’re wearing a toga, and as you cum proceed to “baptize” them as you scream “In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti”

The Eastern Roman Empire, also referred to as the Byzantine Empire or Byzantium, was the continuation of the Roman Empire in its eastern provinces during Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages, when its capital city was Constantinople. It survived the fragmentation and fall of the Western Roman Empire in the 5th century AD and continued to exist for an additional thousand years until the fall of Constantinople to the Ottoman Empire in 1453. During most of its existence, the empire remained the most powerful economic, cultural, and military force in Europe.
The Ottomans whipped Byzantium's ass so hard, that they revolted 4 0 0 years after... Only if it was 420 years... Fuck this job I don't get paid enough to write this shit...
