        The Romanovs still exist and are squabbling along themselves about who has the most legitimate claim to the non-existing Russian throne. The women with the most "plausible" claim is sometimes invited to Russian state ceremonies. Some German nobility guy inherited a more far-fetched claim and converted to Russian orthodox Christianity in order to somehow revive the empire as an artificial crypto/nonce/libertarian island in the Pacific and converted back to Protestantism once that scheme failed. A third line of the Romanovs lives in the US and seems to be completely :grillman: about it all and doesn't claim anything.

          It's like the American Hitlers who are all like dentists and other :grillman: jobs and have no real connection to Adolf except some shared ancestry. I think one of them was a medic in the US Army during the war.

      They're also the German version of what Americans know as Sovereign Citizens. The only difference is really that they fetishize 1871 instead of 1776 and that Reichbürger usually have smaller gun collections. Otherwise, it's the exact same thing.
