Western Roman Empire

The Western Roman Empire, also known as the Roman Empire or Imperium Romanum and the Imperium Romanum Occidentis, is a country in Southern Europe. Located in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, it consists of a peninsula surrounded by several islands, a large chunk of the Balkans, and a large chunk of land to the north and northeast of the Italian peninsula. It was the continuation of the Roman Empire primarily in its central western provinces of Italia, Raetia, Noricum, Pannonia and Dalmatia during Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages. It survived its fragmentation in the 5th century AD and continued to exist to the modern day alongside the Kingdom of Soissons, Kingdom of Logres, Eastern Roman Empire, and Palmyrene Empire/Palmyrene Kingdom.
