I have no idea. I don't even remember posting that.


Spain and the Netherlands are connected by a port, but you do have a point about Austria.
Austria had a port too. :p

And have you heard of the Spanish Road?

Spain and the Netherlands are connected by a port, but you do have a point about Austria.

There was an important river connection to the Spanish Netherlands as well, the Rhine - which is important since the sea route was fairly easy to block.

IIRC Spain traced a route through (present day) Italy, Switzerland, and from there on by the Rhine. Note that the case for Austria is even easier controlling Breisgau.

By the end of the rule of Charles V the Hapsburg monarchy owned the land around Trieste, so Austria did have a port. When Maximilian inherited Burgandy, he was King of Rome and then HRE, so he didn't have much of a problem moving between the two courts. I don't know of any instances in an EUIII time frame where a monarch was prevented from travelling between posessions because he didn't have "military access". if anyone has any examples, it would be cool to hear them!

By the end of it's military use, the Spanish road was blocked by the French. Spain was therefore unable to access the Low Countries through the prefered route and had to go around France on the other side.

Nope, Urbino is a nationalist rebel country split from the Papal State. I guess that the only government available is the papacy.

That makes sense, but one would have thought that if the government form was papacy then revolters should automatically have turned into theocracy instead. Having two popes is not silly, in fact that can be somewhat realistic, but two papal states having the same pope is rather silly.

I wonder if there's a way to see if it's the same pope, or just two popes that coincidentally have the same name?

Some really weird revolters in my current game.

OPM Revolutionary Republic Colombia forming in Jamaica... Also a pretty big Rev. Rep. Chile in this game. Since when does this happen?

OPM Republican Dictatorship Kannada-culture Catholic Vijayanagar

Deva Bengal revolted out of other nearby Austrian colonies. They're Hindu despite having a few Catholic provinces, but still have an Arcbishop.

The Teutonic Order emerging out of Austrian held Prussian territories in 1784.
