Is the United States and Canada part of Latin America?

[Skelly Man Dan]

Including the U.S. and Canada into the definition would make the definition practically meaningless, given you’d need a new term to define the non-Anglo parts of the Western Hemisphere mainland.

I can see Quebec being included for cultural reasons, though Latin America is a weird amalgamation of geography and shared history and (broad) cultural elements.

Regardless of which number Rome America is, she is still Roman. America being founded by colonists sailing across the Atlantic Ocean to a strange new land echoes Aeneas sailing across the Mediterranean Sea. More importantly, the consummate L.A.R.Ping of the Founding Fathers (the Thirteen Colonies' own Patricians), lead by their Cincinnatus George Washington, was sufficient to make the United States spiritually adopted by Rome, granting her a claim to her mantle.

History/politic nerds have an obsession with how humanity can never do anything but repeat one of multiple classical empires that is both baffling and kind of cute.

WRONG! the netherlands are the fifth rome.

[Vassenor]

The real Fifth Rome is the friends we made along the way.

WRONG! the netherlands are the fifth rome.

explain this.

The Holy Roman Empire is the successor to the Western Roman Empire. And the Netherlands revolted against the heretical HRE. As such the netherlands is the true fifth rome.

I love how this went from a query being posted to whatever the fuck it turned into to... anyways, the last (debatably) legal successor of Rome was the Ottoman Empire.

Neither Holy, nor Roman, nor an Empire.

The pope supported it so holy. The pope is also roman so roman, and what classifies as an empire is very debated, so an empire as well.

Yeah but I stand my ground that San Marino is the true successor to the Roman Empire. But let’s get back on topic before the mods come knocking on the door

Guess I’m a based history nerd because I use history to make some dumb alt history scenarios, like what if King Edward was gay and my most beloved What if walls didn’t exist.

You jest, as if that isn’t a breath of fresh air in the land of “I paint the world my colour #849.” I love it.
