Foreign HRE Emperor

[DeLaHonHonHon]

Ok so here's my question, say if Commonwealth who is outside the empire gets elected as the emperor in a multiplayer game. Would commonwealth automatically have its capital added to the HRE or does that have to be manually done? As well if Commonwealth was to lose the emperorship to say Brandenburg who was always in the empire would Commonwealth stay in the empire or be booted out ?

You won't be added to HRE, you need to do manual. But if you added yourself into the HRE, you'll lose kingdom/empire rank.
If you'll lose the emperorship and you add yourself to the HRE, you'll stay in the HRE.

Ok that makes sense, now say commonwealth is now in the empire and I make them an elector, could they then upgrade themselves to a kingdom rank ? Or is that automatic upon accepting the electorship?

The only kingdom is Bohemia. Everyone else is a Duchy/archduchy. Historically there was also the kingdom of italy (impossible in game) and the kingdom of Burgundy (impossible in game).

They can upgrade to kingdom rank manually if they meet the criteria. The only "automatic" upgrades (and they aren't automatic, just free via decision) is for bishoprics which would then become arch-bishoprics.

So it goes:
Whatever rank -> down to duchy upon adding the capitol to the HRE -> up to kingdom if made an elector.

After you make then an elector, they can become kingdom rank if the fulfill the normal criteria. (300 dev + 50 prestige).
