Diarchy of Byzantium

The Diarchy of Byzantium, also referred to as the Byzantine Empire, Byzantium for short, or formerly the Hellenic Diarchy of Greece and Anatolia, was a nation that existed in Doom's World. It was situated primarily in the Balkans, the Middle East, and northern Africa. Early on it existed as an independent state, until at some point it was vassalized by the Holy American Empire. Made obvious by its name, its government structure was a diarchy, with the two diarchs being Mak4Life and Jerielrocket1.
