it united its territories under a central goverment
"The Holy Roman Empire is neither Holy, nor Roman, nor An Empire," Voltaire. It began as an Empire under Charlemagne. When his 3 grandsons divided his empire, it became something like NATO. Like NATO it became a mutual defense pact where some parts would send troops for the common good and some nations would not. Finally Napoleon ended it.
Charlemagne was not prepared for his coronation and may not have wanted to be crowned by the Pope. If the Pope had the power to crown Charlemagne king, the Pope might also have the right to remove the crown.
There was no fixed capital, only residences of the German kings and emperors like Magdeburg (under the Ottonians), Speyer (Salians), Prague (Luxemburg), Vienna (Habsburg); and some important cities like Aachen (where the king was crowned), or Regensburg (where the Reichstag was) or Nuremberg (where the imperial regalia was kept).
The Roman Empire at its peak in the 2nd century AD covered approximately 2.2 million square miles, while the United States currently covers about 3.8 million square miles. In terms of land area, the United States is larger than the Roman Empire. However, in terms of population, the United States has a population of over 330 million people, while the Roman Empire at its height had an estimated population of around 60-70 million people.
Oh, dude, Charlemagne was all like, "I want a big empire," so he just went around conquering lands and stuff. He was crowned Emperor of the Romans in 800 AD, which was a pretty big deal back then. Basically, he was just like, "Hey, I'm Charlemagne, and I'm gonna rule a massive empire now."

It continued the Holy Roman empire in the East, and spread Christianity to Russia. Also great buildings like the Hagia Sophia
No similarities. The Roman Empire was an ancient empire and the Carolingian Empire was a medieval one and therefore related to two totally different societies. The only thing was that Latin was the language of the church, bureaucrats and intellectuals.
there was many queens during that time. they went through kings and queens like crazy.
basically all of them. The Mandate of Heaven was a religious order that didn't die with the change in dynasties, much like how Christianity didn't die with the fall of the Roman Empire or Holy Roman Empire.
They were all the same. Murder, rapes, explotiation, just like today's Catholic church. Repugnant, everything bad they did was and is in the name of religion.
