AHC European empire

The state should at least own modern France, Germany, Benelux, Italy, Austria, Czechia and Poland. The head of state should be an emperor.
 
Napoleon stops at the Russian boarder in 1811 and doesn't invade, however he forces Sweden and Russia to join the anti-British trade blockade.

Britain has a reverse or two in Spain and sues for peace.
 
Nazi victory in WW2. In the end, the title Führer is replaced with the title emperor, in order to signify German dominance. The Nazi Empire evolves in a semi-hereditary state (like OTL North Korea). Italy is conquered when relations between the two get bad at the end of the 20th century.
 
A Roman Empire that doesn't fall. It absorbs enough of the invaders to settle Gaul and further east into Germania. Rome becomes China-like, and assimilates the constant stream of invaders when possible, and destroying those who don't stand with them. You get a border that wanders back and forth, but slowly expands farther and farther east as control solidifies to the west. Britannia may be abandoned to move forces back onto the mainland. With a Rome that is successful against the Germans, the invasions of Britain are limited and pushed back.

Perhaps, then, you'd get Europe consisting of the entire Roman world and Roman allies, and everything beyond the borders being a continent separate. Basically, Europe includes North Africa, the Levant, and Anatolia and other possessions, but doesn't include Scandinavia and most of modern day Russia.
