holy roman empire 

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.

Holy Roman Empire 

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.
The conference today was such a Holy Roman Empire!

Karl Von Habsburg: Man... Austria is part of the holy roman empire... hmmm... reform it.

Roman Empire 

The most powerful and successful Empire in history.

Their Praetorian Guard and Centurion soldiers even rivaled Spartans in fighting skill.

At it's greatest extent, their territory was 2,300,000 sq.mi. Stretching throughout most of Europe, as well as Northern Africa, and conquered much of western Asia.

Collapsed only because of lack of money to fund the enormous size of its almost undefeated Army.

Should NOT be confused with The Holy Roman Empire.

The Roman Empire's influence upon the law, culture, technology, arts, religion, government,language, military, and architecture of civilizations that followed continues to this day.
