History. Poland had existed for centuries as a very large commonwealth. In the late 1700s, as the result of a weak monarchy, it was partitioned between Russia, Prussia, and Austria and ceased to exist as a nation.
Summary The government consisted of a God-chosen power which was the emperor. Then to maintain and vote on high-importance decisions, there were many government officials and military officers to occupy those jobs.

It was an Islamic empire--as the Byzantine had been a Christian empire--that was literally the private holding of the Osmanli family from whom the concept of the Ottoman state could not be separated.

Aside from scattered outposts in Greece, all that remained of the Byzantine Empire was its capital, Constantinople.
