There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity. |

“Failed Holy Roman Empire”?[edit]
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”.
