Fastest Spanish Unification: December 17, 1403 as Castille

Fastest Iberian Unification: December 17, 1409 as Spain

How this happened: I used my usual Castille strategy and forced a Personal Union with Aragon in early 1402. Managed to boost relations to 200 and honor a few calls to arms from Portugal and SOI countries, which gave Aragon moderate trust. My king died in battle during one of those calls and Aragon was inherited; I peaced out a day later and let the timer run a few days before forming Spain (so technically this could have gone a few days earlier but w/e).

Iberia was strange, I got a PU because Portugal lost two kings months apart (the first king was their starting king; second one was their starting heir; the heir didn't have an heir in time), and then my second king died in December 1409.

EDIT: I'm a little iffy on adding the Iberian peninsula record, due to the fact that it isn't formable country. We could then see a wave of "Fastest Unification of xxx" where xxx is United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia, etc, regions that could be disputable. If the community has any input, I would love to hear it.

I think its best if we stick to all formable nations that are in the game from the start (tbh there's probably still a few that remains unclaimed like fastest sardina-piedmount, fastest prussia, fastest malaya, and fastest germany, fastest rev. france etc)

That's fine. I threw in Iberia because it did historically occur (even if just a Personal Union for a while) and I thought it might be a category worth considering, but I definitely understand not having disputed countries as options.

I doubt Prussia would be all that good a choice since it has a hard limit that would easily be reached since it requires the Protestant Reformation which requires 1/1/1500. Some of the other ones (Rumania too?) would possibly be fun to include. Possibly include some variations on existing ones such as fastest non-Muscowy Russia, non-Holland Netherlands, etc...

Not realy, you can make reformation come before 1500, you just need a heretic country...
