Mount Athos is:
📍Still governed by a charter modelled on Roman (Byzantine) imperial chrysobulls
📍Still using titles and administrative logic derived from Roman governance
📍Still considered, even in legal theory, a direct continuation of Byzantine monastic tradition.

No other place can claim:
📍Legal autonomy granted by Roman emperors
📍Continuous operation under those principles
📍Recognition by both premodern and modern nation-state systems

Can you guess where this is?
