May I present the Divine Pyrrhus' Epirot Kingdom of 521 AUC.
As allies of the great Lysimachid and Seleucid Empires, each of whom is allied to the might Ptolemies, our security against any conceivable enemy seems all but ensured. We stand firm in reverence of ascended Divine King Pyrrhus, whose will continues to be channelled by his 12-year-old great-grandson who serves as High Priest.
It is notable that the civilized kingdoms of the Volcae, of the Boii, and to a lesser extent of the Helvetii and Aedui have emerged with literally no influence from our mighty state, and some scholars believe that the Antigonid Kingdom, theoretically unstable, could have continued powerfully for long amounts of time were it not for the emergence of an ongoing civil war that provided us and our allies the opportunity to descend and claim the 6 cities of the loyalists' North.
Some go so far as to argue that it was unrealistic for the Antigonids to have broken so even in the Struggle against Demetrius so many years ago, having seen the Antigonids annex Epirus' faithful ally Arcania (who was only recently liberated into our glorious state) and demand tribute from the Aetolian League (who remains their puppet to this day) at the cost of but one province in the North. These claims are often dismissed, as that IS what happened in reality and thus cannot be unrealistic.
These conspiracy theorists claim that that old war, as well as the frequent emergences of tribes into united "blobs" that are considered formal kingdoms of considerable civilization, and the unshakable stability and might of the Lysimachids, Ptolemies, Seleucids, Lusitani, Boii, and until recently the Antigonids in comparison to such... quasi-fearsome... middle powers like Rome and Carthage may be signs that a governor of reality, during the addition of a truly stupendous number of astoundingly great factors into reality which these theorists state have improved the world an almost unspeakably vast amount (it really is incredible how much they thank him and how high they hold this creator in esteem), may have shifted the "balance" of reality from how it "should" be to produce a "vaguely off" political situation.
Regardless of any crackpot theories these "Hardradists" posit, our glorious empire will surely continue to realize Pyrrhus' dream of a subjugated North, and perchance a vengeance upon his once-enemies in Rome or a conquest of our rightful lands in Sicily.
