Eastern Roman Empire

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...

e.g.

Random 1: Yo wanna bully the Turkish kid?

Random 1: Oh shii you right.... Eastern Roman Empire my ass.
