Any country can do that. It is also the only way for cultural-union countries to change their culture. Cultural union countries are France, Great Britain, Scandinavia, Spain, Italy etc.

A vassal is unable to break vassalage if you ally with them and if you ally an AI vassal they cannot break that alliance.
The the HRE above, you took all that land but didn't take the sound toll provinces? For an empire that large, the extra ~15% trade income from owning the southern scandinavian provinces would be massive.

Having a religion that only gives a base stability cost of 15 is the key. Plus with serfdom, church attendency duty, trading in wine and narrowmindedness, even a vast, multicultural and religiously split empire can have a tiny stability cost.
It's early days, but here's my mighty Ryukyu empire.
My humble masively ahead in tech (about 75 ahead of the next best) Mexican Britain-and-lowlands using This amazing game randomiser
My humble beginnings:
My humble beginnings:
Perhaps the conquest mission on Milan and Inheritance of Hungary and Brunswick and vassalising Trier. That would be ~7 infamy. Certainly burnable with a good ruler in 12 years but mighty lucky.
Started in 1399 as Sweden, paused, released Finland and then started as them. My goal was to make pretty borders for Scandinavia. England and Luneburg decided to get all up in my face about that so my strategy was go for free trade, make money, build up my piss poor provinces, become uncontested naval power, blockade Britain and Nothern Europe, unleash spies and watch all the lands defect to my Scandinavian friends.
Fur, unlike most other resources, does not really get any better at time goes on. Provincial improvements do not increase demand for them. I'd rather have Iron and Naval Supplies. Plus for Poorland, that event which costs you 25 ducats because your local fur trappers are not assisting can be punishing.
This game was one of my many "neat" game approaches where I refuse to expand wildly either for land or vassals. I try to make all my provinces have all the provincial improvements and become a trading powerhouse. My eventual goal is to create a "beautiful borders" Europe, possibly of 1913 or modern day. If you have a small-ish country with all the province improvements, you can happily breat truce multiple times. I smashed Denmark 3 times within a couple years to eat them up then release them.

How did you play as Crimea Reaven?

You said it yourself, there is a crusade on you. Every catholic has Holy War on you. Enjoy.
Challenge: guess the nation I'm playing as (latest 5.2 beta). Hint: it's not GB.
Easy: You're Brandenburger.
Forgive my skepticism, but I tried a similar thing as Ulm once and my Infamy was in the several hundreds. Some nations needed to be annexed in quick wars and released quickly which lead to some intense infamy. How did you manage larger countries like Wu(or is that Qin)?
My Duh, HRE reforms for most of Europe and Holy war annexation/release for the rest of the world infamy-free, right?
Nice but very much shows the reason I've taken to playing more interesting games with specific goals rather than just painting the map these days.
I prefer to make beautiful looking borders.

Awful lot of blobs around here. Where are the tight, efficient smaller nations? I find them far more interesting than gobble gobble gobble.
Mega Croatia, surviving Ottobros, Foix, dead france, Swiss strong, Mazoviaaaaa, dat Aquilea.
Despite the horrible, horrible borders for everyone, I want to sleep with that map.

Much as France disgusts me, I am very impressed by her expansion here.
