The Roman Empire extended far ad wide. The reason that countries drive on different sides of the street attest to this. My suggestion is to drive on the 'wrong' side of the road here in the USA eventually everyone will see the wisdom of what you are doing and follow suit. Bring back the empire one driver at a Time.

This is just an extension of one of my previous answers, I hope you enjoy it.
Sorry, the Roman Empire, may have ceased as an open military force to be reckoned with, but it never really went away. It evolved into the Roman Catholic Church, with a Pope instead of a Caesar and Bishops instead of Governors.
It is still an expansionist empire of sorts, but it developed itself into a form that can creep into almost every country in the world. With a xenophobic nature and a very large publicity machine, in many ways it is still just as much of a threat as it ever was. Some could even say that this incarnation is more successful than it’s pervious incarnation, as it gains political control without the responsibility of government.
This may seem like a conspiracy theory, but if you simply look at modern history it becomes blatantly obvious. Just look at its stance during WW2 (standing back and taking a neutral stance when Hitler tried to wipe out the Jewish people) or during the so-called Dark-Ages, (trying to destroy all people of non-catholic beliefs that they could not convert). Instead of spies and emissaries they have missionaries.
Just food for thought.

Read Terry Jones' The Barbarians. It describes how all the peoples the Romans fought were actually superior to the Romans.
