According to the terms of the Tilsit treaty dictated by Napoleon I in 1807, a large chunk of North America devolved on his younger brother Louis and thence onto Louis' son and junior namesake, the man who became Napoleon III.
Young Louis Napoleon had been consigned to a long-term but relatively cushy term of incarceration to keep him out of political trouble. By pretending to be his own doctor (or something) he effected an escape in 1846. Just three years later he was able to wheedle his way into the French imperial seat even though he never did figure out that people who are related to each other are supposed to have the same last name.
..."The Westphalian outerlands," "Left bank of the Rhine," "Transalpine Hinterlands," "Hispania tambien".
Really, it would be more honorable if they just told their lies with business-like psychopathic detachment instead of hiding behind kintergarten-grade verbal technicalities like demonic retards.
Despite a promising start, Napoleon III was never able to recapture the glory of his uncle's reign.
In other emperor news, Norton I declared himself emperor of the United States in 1859.
Left: Louis Napoleon, French Emperor; Right: Joshua Norton of San Francisco
