Byzantropy 

A measure of the excess bureaucracy within any government, business, organization, economy, etc. In direct analogy with entropy under the 2nd law of thermodynamics, the byzantropy of any established social system can only increase with time. See also byzantine.

Byzantropy is a key factor in preventing older and larger organizations from effectively competing with small start-ups.

BYZANTINE 

Highly complicated; intricate and involved

That play was byzantine and I had difficulty following the twists and turns of the plot with its myriad of characters.

Byzantine Power 

Doing or saying anything that reminds a person of a time when Western civilisation wasn't full of relativist, wet, floppy, angst-ridden, anti-capitalist, Palestine-supporting, multiculturalist pro-EUrs and instead of a time when Christian morality, Roman law, Greek thought and monoculturalism created and maintained an Empire from 753BC to 1453AD.

Look at that Church! It's so Byzantine Power.

Did you like his speech? Yes, it was so Byzantine Power.

Look at THAT! I know... he's so not Byzantine power.

Byzantine 

The Byzantine Empire was the eastern half of the Roman Empire, which survived for a thousand years after the western half had crumbled into various feudal kingdoms and which finally fell to Ottoman Turkish onslaughts in 1453.
The city of Byzantium grew from an ancient Greek colony founded on the European side of the Bosporus.
In AD 330 the Roman emperor Constantine I, in an attempt to strengthen the empire, refounded Byzantium as Constantinople, the 'New Rome' and capital of the eastern half of the empire.
At his death in 395 Emperor Theodosius I divided the empire between his two sons, and it was never reunited.
Theodosius also made Christianity (Eastern Orthodox) the sole religion of the empire, and Constantinople assumed preeminence over other Christian centers in the East as Rome did in the West.

The fall of Rome to the Ostrogoths in 476 marked the end of the western half of the Roman Empire. The eastern half continued as the Byzantine Empire, with Constantinople as its capital. Constantine the Great wanted this city to be built from scratch as the center of the Christian world. The origional Christianity religion Eastern Orthodox church split into differnent factions, The great schism between Eastern and Western churches was mutually agreed to in 1054.
