Something a lot of people don't realise is that the last of the "Roman" states (that called themselves Roman) didn't cease until about 50 years before Columbus crossed the Atlantic (xref the fall of Constantinople).

  You can also count the Holy Roman Empire that was dissolved in 1806.

    No you can't, dispite the name the "Holy Roman Empire" was nether Holy or Roman. It considered it's self the successor in the same way that russia considers itself to be the 3rd Rome.
