Near-Answers:
Luxembourg - Brabant was once under the House of Luxembourg between 1355 and 1383, but effective control was part of 'Luxembourg' as a family rather than a state. I might still add this later.
Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan - Possible successors (as the Kazakh and Uzbek Khanates) to the Golden Horde, which had a large Black Sea coast, but this requires quite a few mental leaps.
Azerbaijan - Azerbaijani was the language of the rulers of Qara Qoyunlu, which held coastal territory in Georgia and Trebizond, and the country's capital was in Tabriz, part of historical Azerbaijan. Also a potential addition, left out right now due to being closer to a Persian predecessor.
Also updated with better dates.
Here's why I think North Macedonia is a valid successor to the First Bulgarian Empire. By it's collapse, the empire had been ruled for over 40 years from cities within modern North Macedonia - Skopje, then Ohrid, then Bitola. Modern Macedonian is directly descended from the empire's official language of Old Church Slavonic.
(Also if North Macedonia loses descendancy from the Macedonian Empire I think this is a good consolation prize.)
Meanwhile, adding onto the honorable mentions list is Andorra, which, while claiming to be the last descendant of the Spanish March, still doesn't count. The Spanish March was less a territorial entity and more an alliance network and buffer zone.
Belarus too joins under the Principality of Polotsk. Despite a few maps online, I can find no reliable sources on them ever controlling Riga or Lithuania.
