Try again. Try harder.
Charlemagne's realm split into two pieces and the German part survived longer. Therefore: HRE>France

>Therefore: HRE>France
Senpai, that's pretty bad logic to live by
Ottoman Empire beats HRE by that standard

>nigger believes Charlemagne funded the HRE
>>589441
Sure, as an empire it was more succesful. But when it comes to anything else, it would have a hard time being compared to the HRE or France.
But France still exist while the HRE does not

Because we refer to it as France. Even today that isn't the exact term for the state that today is ruling over what can be geographically referred to as 'France'.

Yeah it is, it's culturally continuous (not the same for the HRE).

The traditions and cultures of HRE live in Germany as well.
