Creating Germany as England

[XELANAMYT]

In my current game as England I have managed to become the HRE emperor and passed 4 reforms so far, so things are going pretty well. However I don't know if you can form Germany (from the last reform) while being England (well Great Britain now). Does anyone know what happens? Do you become Germany? Do you basically integrate all of what was once the HRE?

If I'm reading you correctly you want to form the German nation, in which case you will need to hold and core all the necessary provinces and have the correct culture which means culture shifting. It's highly unlikely you will be able to do this if you are already Great Britain and could even be impossible if you've already formed GBR. Forming the HRE should be okay though as you are emperor.

You don't form Germany. You make the HRE a single, solid state. Germany can only be formed by German nations and that is a separate chain from unifying the HRE.

if you really wanted to form Germany instead of HRE you would need to release all cultures that aren't German as vassal's. Then culture shift event to German and hold the cores. I have never tried so don't know if you can outnumber your English provinces with German ones to perform it.

Ah, I assumed that when you consolidate the HRE that it would become Germany. So does that mean I would just get all of the ex-HRE provinces for myself?

If you're Great Britain you can only culture shift within the british culture group. So unless you culture shifted to Hannoverian, Pommeranian, Hessian, Saxon, Bavarian, Prussian or Rheinlaender cultures while you were England (which would mean you lose the ability to form Great Britain), you can't form Germany.

The last reform doesn't form Germany, but rather an unified country called Holy Roman Empire (HLR). Basically it automatically annexes all your HRE vassals, changes your name, and changes your color. HLR can't form Germany.
