Holy Roman Empire?

Lets just try to find a way to destroy the HRE since the other ways seem to be impossible IMHO. Unless Inferis or whoever could give us some insight into the possibility of messing with it.

Well, I agree with Kyran, but wasn't that hardcoded? that will make it hard...

What I have tried to say is that the HRE provinces are hardcoded, and you have to have an emperor. I cannot see any way to get rid of that...

Instead of the UN or EU, perhaps the WTO?

WTO would be good if we could expand HRE borders mid-game (can we?)

No. All you an change in hRE are the electorates.

I thought the HRE retracts as the years pass in the normal game... (Leaves north Italy, iirc)

AFAIK it is becase of the end of the 30 years war.

In the Years of Rice and Salt scenario they were talking about eliminating the HRE by making a country on some un-important out of the way island, giving them an immortal monarch, and making the HRE.

They dont use Catholic? The idea is good, but we use catholic.

 

[unmerged(7027)]

I'm not sure what you mean. With this idea you can still use Catholic, just make sure the HRE monarch is immortal, put it on an island so it can't be diplo-annexed, and hope the AI doesn't want to conquer it.

Thats smart. The only problem is that it's RL so it could be a problem. But I think we can find one... St. Helena?
