Some nice ideas there, if we rename the Prussian aspects in the current Germany they could slide this right in.
Well, I based my ideas on the idea that the DE would move a little bit more away from the colonial style. If we look at Europe in the time period we can see that Prussia is very much its own thing apart from the rest of the HRE. Austrians and Prussians where very different empires that often opposed each other, if we consider this it makes sense to not have them be represented in the same faction.
Thank you! I don’t think we can expect Hesse and Bavaria as another 2 seperate nations, they could do fine as German “natives” in European styled maps though.
