“Failed Holy Roman Empire”?
In what sense is/was The Holy Roman Empire an example of a “failed state”? Sure, it no longer exists, but it’s Hardy unique in this (tonnesnof States have disappeared) and its longevity of about a thousand years is nothing to sneeze at. I don’t think that the HRE really works as an example in this context, either as an illustration of a failed state or as an example of a particularly “heated political system”.
