I think the Ruhr is all Cosmopolitan now. Super France managed to eat a whole bunch of small western HRE countries before the guy in charge scraped up enough Imperial Authority to reform the Empire. They even managed to defeat super-France (as I described above) in the latest war! Although they haven't conquered the Spanish Peninsula for yet for some reason. This means France was able to blob even more so then usual. When I exported from CK2, the guys running France had control over Italy. If Poland is successful, an alliance with a strong France in the mid to later game can be a major benefit, particularly if Russia is weak and Austria is the main threat. Let the game run for a month and also royal-marry them. Saxony) to support your claim to the throne of the HRE. As second ally you should take a HRE-elector (e.g. Rule 5: Images need to have an explanation comment. Rule 4: Follow Reddits Content Policy and Reddiquette. Rule 2: No memes, reaction pictures, or similar. You can conquer the world one turn at a time in.

Prussia/Germany's OTL position is practically enviable in comparison. In the earlier game, an alliance with Austria or Russia is desirable. The HRE itself controls only a shrunken portion of Germany.

It went through all the trouble to reform and now probably has the absolute worst position of any Great Power: it's got France dominating Western Europe, Byzantium with its control over the Balkans southwest of the Danube, Turkey, and the entire Middle East west of Iran on its southern border, and me (Russia) controlling an empire stretching from the Elbe all the way across the entirety of continental Asia minus the mideast. I have to say: I pity the Holy Roman Empire. The number is so large that the game's UI can't handle it! The number literally pushed itself off the manpower display and its now hovering slightly below where it normally is. On a different note: my CK2 Russian game which I exported to EU4? Well, thanks to continuously firing 'extra manpower' events alongside me conquering all of continental Asia, I have in excess of 10 MILLION manpower. Did you matrilineally marry her mother or regular marriage? If the latter, then yeah that ship has sailed.
