The borders have been cleared up nicely now. Although its not Germany yet, we can say this: Welcome to the North Germanic Union!
Such a pleasant brown color as well.
Are there any nations left who would offer you a challenge? Or would it have to be a vast alliance?
That was a lucky string of cores, for aesthetic purposes. Those Dutch provinces have lots of money, too!
Bohemia is starting to look foolish with you pinching their starting cores like that! But what will you do if you core Bohemia province itself?
France has recovered into a decent medium-sized country. You're a Boundary Dispute away from war with them (or maybe you should contrive to release some Imperial states). I guess this wouldn't be a problem?
Since Lithuania is now a two-province country, wouldn't it be more convenient if Tver conquered them, avoiding the possibility of having a core on the captirla you can't take?
Brunswick kind of looks like a fish now.
Such pleasing borders you have there...
Now I would like to free Pskov for that very reason before it gets independence somewhere else, but overall I'm protecting Lithuania for a reason. Lithuania's capital is a non-HRE province, while Bohemia has a good number of provinces that they've added to the Empire that have the potential to defect to Lithuania if Bohemia ever runs into serious rebel problems. So by keeping Lithuania around I create the possibility of getting Imperial Reconquest cores in the area down the line.
It's stuff like this that I mean when I talk about trying to engineer cores. Although officially such gains by non-HRE nations are obviously an outrage and the provinces will be immediately seized by the protector Brunswick to defend the people of the Empire.
I guess this might be the lack of hm... hm... free coresIt's interesting that your expansion is west/east oriented - it looks like there is some sort of barrier in the south.

Oh! I can see a real gentleman that protect a country so you can defend other defensless populations from unrightfull conquerors that maybe (hopefully) will come
So what are your current aims?

He is avoiding contamination from those Wurst/Beer chuging monsters of Bavaria. Such food, bevrages are decidedly un-Gentlemanly!
Well... Hm... hm... As in the West France is fragmented, and in the East there's no united Rssia, and you can beat England at sea; I can hardly see anyone who could oppose you. Unless China has crossed the Urals. Were you playing without your gentlemanly rules, you'd pbly go after Europe conquest out of sheer boredom or 'because-I-can' factor.You should smack those Frenchies...
