So playing as a Republic give you the powerful seize city and seize county Casus Belli, opening up the option to eventually grant yourself an empire-level title.
Post your Republican Empire.

Well isn't this OP. Empire of Brittannia before 1200. Did you save-load a lot or was it a run game?
It's was the easily affordable mercenaries. And breaking every single truce yet still gaining prestige at a fast rate.
Both HRE & ERE, started as Venetian patrician
I had Germany too but didn't want to have bunch of German vassals and it looked bad on a map so I gave them independence

Why do you have the byzantine "empire" whereas op has the principality of britannia?
Also, you are about to lose your titles =P
I guess it depends on culture and some titles are special. It displays that I'm loosing but only because my heir is not yet adult, as soon as he grows up it will change back to my dynasty.
Some Empire have a fix localisation. HRE and Byzantine are always Empire no mater clergy, burgher or muslim hold the title.
Why don't you restore the Roman Empire? It would be the Roman Republic

I think you're in a position to conquer all of Europe there. Only in 1168 too.
All of Britannia's armies plus all the mercs. and still have income.
That's my goalWhy don't you restore the Roman Empire? It would be the Roman Republic
Income is really crazy, I got 650 revenue per month, although part of that goes to parasites from my dynasty
.
Oh yeah, the biggest thing taking up my profits are freeloading family members.
I started as Muke Murchad of Munster, forged a claim on Leinster. Granted my heir a city then the county. Created the Duchy of Leinster and granted that to my Lord-Mayor son which turned him into an independant republic.
Saved and loaded as Doge Brian mac Murchad.
Witchcraft.

The Serene Republic of Scotland (started as Gloucester and invaded Scotland), De Normandies (third son of William). I'm about to invade England and establish the Principality of Britannia. I would prefer it called the Great Republic of Britannia, personally. Or just Republic of Britannia on the map.
The De Normandies start with a big family, so I had my income halved from the start. Now I think I'm at about 214 family members, most of the males getting a cut of my income (about 55 out of 102 per month). Needless to say, most of England is filthy rich (Despite dozens of civil wars, we still hold the throne).
I just realised this thread is about Empire Republics, not just Republics that are Empire size. Is that right? I'm not sure why anyone should focus on land owned, because the only thing land changes for a Republic is their retinue size. Even when I only had one county I could have fielded a merc army to challenge anyone in the region. Not to mention that England+Normandy was defending me from most embargoes (only the HRE succeeded).
The only thing Doges have to fear is low stewardship, and getting excommunicated. Excommunication, I found, can happen quite a lot because everyone hates you and can do little about it, and you tend not to care about high diplomacy and virtues as a Doge. It would probably be a good idea, then, to switch to Catharism, Waldenese, etc, at some point. Or keep an anti-pope in the family. My cleric sitting in the Pope's land (Wales, of course) seems to be enough, though.

I think I lost the latest screenshot (on this one the first character still lives), but take a look at this lovely mess:
