The Eastern Empire was really more of a matter of geography and money."Your own nation"?
And I beg to differ: the bureaucratic structure and hierarchy remained cohese long after the IIIrd century. Technically, Rome did not fall on 476, but on 1453. That alone is a testament to the capability of the Roman Empire to adapt and regenerate through the countless wars and turmoil it went through.
