Communications and transport.
Communication was one big problem. Even though the Romans had good roads and a signal system, it still could take days or sometimes weeks for a message to get from a province to Rome. And more time for the reply to get back to the province. Another problem was the various conditions in different parts of the empire. A law, that worked in Rome, for example, might not be reasonable or even enforceable in a place like Thrace or Dacia.

they didnt 'abandon them' Constantine the great converted the roman empire from its pagan routs into Christianity, if he didnt then we might still have them today
The USA is the only current one I know of, although Canada might be one. Also the Roman Empire was a republic, and I think the Romans started the Republic government; like Greece created democracy.
