Making Theocracy able to be the HRE Emperor

[another505]

Hi, if i want to mod my game a bit to allow theocracy like Papal state be elected, how should i do it?

also, i want to ask, why can't they ingame? Is there a historical reason?

The historical answer is that the Imperial Crown was only open to men of noble blood, not spiritual rulers (theocracies) or the elected leaders of free cities. Practically speaking the four temporal electors would certainly never have countenanced the idea of crowning some jumped-up burgher or similar anyway.

You can do it with save game editing (probably) just change the emperor to your tag and select the reform that makes imperial succession hereditary rather than elected.

Also if you want to know the historical reason, there was basically a war fought to prevent the pope from defacto doing that.

The relations between the Church and the Empire were complicated. The Church was effectively a power structure in competition with the nobility (while also existing in symbiosis with them), while the Pope and Emperor competed for influence in the Empire.

In a completely inaccurate and not very helpful analogy, it would be a bit like a political party appointing a prominent member of their main rivals to run the country - the Republicans having Hillary run as their presidential candidate, the Tories electing Corbyn as PM etc.

What was the war called? I want to read it up. And is there a more permanent way to edit? I just want that -1000 elector vote thing removed for theocracy. I don't want to cheat my way to get it.
