They should totally do this, but sell the naming rights like a sports arena to the highest bidder.

The SoFi Holy Roman Empire, presented by Palantir
It’s probably the ideal country for it too, you were able to rent Liechtenstein for $70k/night.
Very much in Roman tradition.
Soviet taint
Finland being the legitimate inheritor of the Roman Empire is a plot twist I did not expect!
PS: though the point of ComradeSharkfucker@lemmy.ml is good and ignoring the illogical “soviet taint” “reason” to stop the line of claim from Russia there would mean that whatever is the true inheritor of the Soviet Union (most likely Russia) is the legitimate inheritor of the Roman Empire.
The Reichsbürger movement actually exists and tried to start a violent coup in Germany in the last few years, which makes this less fun (as is the German way).
*von Habsburg
Von was translated to of
neither needs to be mentioned in this context
Isn’t “von Habsburg” the actual name of the house, rather than just “Habsburg”?
That being the case, the “von” should not be translated, same as we don’t translate names which are also normal words with meaning in that language (for example, “White” or “Baker”).
I think you might be confusing things with the fact that the German aristocracy was stripped of all privilege but allowed to adopt their house as a family name, in which case it is just a name that shouldn’t be literally translated.
Maybe.
As I wrote elsewhere, I’ve just seen a couple of times Germanic house names written as “von Something”.
That is, however, the full extent of my knowledge on the subject.
Oooh so they might be like Wolfgang Schmidt von Nameoftheirhouse?
Because in that case I’m gonna start using that because one of the houses I grew up in had a name, since it was a tad older.
I’m not sure, I never met them.
I vaguelly remember seeing names of royal Prussian houses listed as “von Something”, hence my question.
They are reminding people about this every day?
Yeah but clearly that isn’t enough
Get your shit together, Liechtenstein
The HRE will return in Avengers: Doomsday. I’m positive that Doctor Doom is an elector.
That would unironically be a great comic arc

Aww shit not Reich again
I’ve lost count of the Roman Empires that don’t include Rome or even any of Italy.
Look, I’ll do it if no one else wants to.
Electors Assemble
I mean, were there many times when it was legal to abolish a legislation? 😅
Any country could crown a new Holy Roman Emperor if they really wanted.
So, China?
Oh, hey, that’s where my fam’s from! I should make a couple calls…
Dooo it.
