Byzantinism seems to have an apathetic but easily triggered attitude. He speaks Greek and calls foreigners Barbarians (like his ancestors who he also kinda hates). He hates turks and latin crusaders for their unforgivable crime in 1204. He is deeply religious and he is faithful to the Emperor. He mostly wears purple robes and likes fancy jewllery.

Byzantinism or Byzantism, is a term which refers to the political system of the Byzantine Empire as well as implementations of its system[2][3][4]. The Byzantine system was notable for being extremely bureaucratic, with it effectively being the most centralised state in medieval Europe. Byzantinism lived on despite the Byzantine Empire’s collapse, being adopted throughout the empire's spiritual successors in the Balkans and to a lesser extent in Russia[4], Germany [2] and France.

History

Byzantine Empire

Byzantinism considers itself to be the legitimate continuation of the Roman Empire after the deposition of Romulus Augustus. With a new capitol in Constantinople, they continue to practice the same system of government, laws, and customs that had existed in the Western half of the Roman Empire.

Greece

The modern day country of Greece is seen by many as a successor to the Byzantine Empire. The Greeks are descendants of the Byzantines, and the Greeks speak the same language that the Byzantines once did: Greek. Greece also inherited its state religion, Orthodox Christianity, from Byzantium.

Eastern Europe

Many Eastern European countries were influenced by the Byzantine Empire. They were converted to the Orthodox religion by the Byzantines, and adopted elements of Byzantine culture. These countries, including Russia, Serbia, and Bulgaria, adopted a Byzantine-style government with an Emperor in charge as an absolute monarch and the Orthodox Church playing an integral role in society.

Ideology

Administrationism

The Byzantine Empire and many the states it influenced were administered by an absolute monarch, usually an Emperor. Emperors used a complex bureaucratic legal system which took elements from Ancient Roman Law and Church Canon Law to rule their empire. This system would incorporate anyone who had the competence to be a part of it, whether that person be of noble origin of common descent. The Byzantine Empire, in its governance, was heavily centered around Constantinople, which was the seat of the Emperor and the capital of the Empire.

Caesaropapism

In the Byzantine Empire, the Church and State were closely connected, and the two often influenced each other. Emperors used, or tried to use, their authority to exert influence on the Orthodox Church, such as during the Byzantine Iconoclasm, when Emperor Leo III banned the usage of some religious images in churches. Nevertheless, it is worth noting that Emperors were often opposed by the Church if their practices were seen as conflicting with its beliefs. In the case of the Iconoclasm, many theologians were against it, and, it was eventually ceased as a result.

Personality and Behavior

Relations

Friends

  • Caesarism - The earlier version of me, I am the legitimate continuation of the Roman Empire.
  • Orthodox Theocracy - The official state religion of my Empire. We work well together.
  • Absolute Monarchism - The Emperor's rule is undeniable!

Frenemies

  • Ancent Greek Pagan Theocracy - My ancestors, smart but heretic. I saved their writings and philosophy through me by both the Muslims and the Iconoclasts! However, Theodosius the Great put an end to their anomaly and social anarchy and made them civilized, a̶t̶ ̶l̶e̶a̶s̶t̶ ̶t̶h̶o̶s̶e̶ ̶w̶h̶o̶ ̶l̶i̶v̶e̶d̶ ̶a̶f̶t̶e̶r̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶p̶u̶r̶g̶e̶.
  • Aristocracy - Basil II the Bulgarslayer, along with the Bulgars also slayed the Minor Asian rich landowners for their disbelief in him, but Alexios Komnenos brought them back, so I am confused.
  • Norse Pagan Theocracy - Good Varangian warriors but barbaric heathens.
  • Bonapartism - How can you be Rome? You are Frankish! You're right that Constantinople should be the capital of the world, though.
  • Clerical Fascism - The National Union of Greece tried to restore me, but why so extreme?
  • Venizelism - The modern Greeks that tried to revive me and unfortunately failed. But what's wrong with the Monarchy?
