As a Turk, ironically Ottoman Empire feels more like the British Empire, and Gokturk Khaganate feels more like the Roman Empire.

Mainly in terms of ancientness, and how people randomly think about it even tho not thaught in school. Oh and the empire split in two after a while, too.

(And also how racist nationalists like talking about one with great historical inaccuracy)
