What would the Roman Empire Look Like If it Reunited today?

This is a picture of the Roman Empire at its height in 117 A.D. However, it's enemies were cruel and over the centuries, it gradually lost its power and eventually disappeared. But what would a country with the same borders look like today? This in real life is impossible as there’s no way you could convince England, Spain, Turkey and Syria to be in the same country as they really don’t get on well together.

This is quite shocking as the population of the U.S. is half as much of our hypothetical country.The GDP per capita would be even more shocking at an abysmal 25,000 USD which would make the hypothetical country the 52nd highest in the world.This is because, despite
