You simply get a province that borders a current imperial province, take the decision in each province all the way back to your capital, and then you're in. If you have bad relations or are bigger than the Emperor, though, he won't let you in.

thx for the reply. A couple of follow up questions: Do you need to be catholic? How can the emperor deny you if this is basically your provincal decision based on your description?
The decision asks the emperor, who has to say yes or no. To avoid complications, the AI will never join a human owned empire.
I don't believe you need to be catholic but I don't know.
It's a provincial decision for you, but it fires an event for the emperor where they can accept or deny membership to that territory. Whatever happens you still lose that magistrate.
Only catholics can join the HRE.
Normally you'd have to have less provinces than the current emperor before being able to join (He doesn't want a contender for the job) but there's currently a bug where it doesn't work properly, so as long as you spam the emperor, even France can join the empire.

OK, I did some research, but become more confused. I saw two decisions in the HRE.txt:
#1
join_hre = {
potential = {
hre = no
owner = { is_emperor = no }
religion_group = christian
owner = {
religion_group = christian
}
any_neighbor_province = {
hre = yes
}
}
allow = {
OR = {
is_emperor = yes
emperor = { relation = { who = THIS value = 100 } }
}
owner = {
officials = 1
}
is_core = THIS
}
effect = {
owner = {
prestige = 0.02
officials = -1
}
emperor = {
country_event = 9493
# set_province_flag = asked_join_hre
}
}
#2
join_hre_emp = {
potential = {
hre = no
owner = { is_emperor = yes }
religion_group = christian
owner = {
religion_group = christian
}
any_neighbor_province = {
hre = yes
}
}
allow = {
owner = {
officials = 1
}
is_core = THIS
}
effect = {
owner = {
prestige = 0.02
officials = -1
add_imperial_influence = 1
}
hre = yes
}
ai_will_do = {
factor = 1
}
}
Which one is to join HRE?
Both: the first one is for any nation that is not the Emperor and the second one is for the Emperor only.
In the province that is your national focus, there will be a button for it. I don't remember the conditions, but the tooltip should tell them to ye.
Must be, or adjacent to, national focus. Also the value of the existing center must be less than 300.
Greater than 400 I thought? At least that's what just happened as my game as England. London attached to Antwerp, Antwerp valued less than 400 and therefore cannot split from it.
The CoT that province is trading at needs to be worth more than 300. It's in the wiki: http://www.paradoxian.org/eu3wiki/Trade#Center_of_Trade
Er, more than 400 ducats to build one in HTTT and DW. To destroy a trade centre it has to be worth less than 300. That wiki page is only current for In Nomine.
Speaking of the wiki, when will they reallow account creation?
If I delay changing a slider when I have the opportunity (usually because I want to go towards centralization but I can't deal with a rebellion just now), is the next slider change delayed as well? Or will it arrive on the same date regardless of when the last one happened?
Date is counted from the last change, so yes, "delays" are accumulative.
If you're mercantilist, no. If you're free trade, it might be worth putting that value in another CoT where it's easier to keep a monopoly.
If you pick up a several small CoTs in non-core provinces, it makes sense to demolish some as each non-core CoT will give you -15% compete chance in non-owned CoTs.
