I'm not even a history buff but those claims are rather different given that the Byzantine Empire was directly created as the Eastern Roman Empire when the formerly united Roman Empire split into two parts to become more governable. None of the other claims came from a "direct inheritance", they were all made up. The Eastern Roman Empire was simply the eastern part of the Roman Empire, how does that compare to some Tsar in Russia claiming to be a Roman Emperor when he doesn't even live anywhere near an area that was ever part of the actual Roman Empire?
4 parts if I remeber correctly, tetrarchy
