Just out of curiosity, what is the maximum possible amount of diplomats could you theoretically get in EU4? The number you have can be bumped up through idea groups, policies, national ideas, government forms, controlling the papacy/HRE or something like that, etc. If you really wanted too, how many of these modifiers could you stack for a army of diplomats at your disposal?
What is the max number of Diplomats that a nation could have?

In theory, lots.
- 4 from being an Empire
- one or more from HRE, Curia Controller, Shogun, Mandate of Heaven, or Tengri + Theravada
- 1 for each of Diplomatic, Aristocratic, Espionage
- 1 for each of Administrative-Diplomatic, Aristocratic-Exploration, Espionage-Economic, and Espionage-Offensive
- 1 more as part of the national ideas for quite a few countries
- Yet another for having a parliament and passing the relevant act
In practice, you can easily have 6+ diplomats by mid-game without pushing too hard - pick Administrative and Diplomatic, and enable the policy.

1 from national ideas, 4 from policies (adm-diplo, aristo-explo, espio-eco and espio-off)
2 from being Empire rank, 3 from ideas (aristo, diplo, espio), 1 from being Emperor of China 1 from being HRE emperor and 1 from curia.
That's 13 available diplomats, you can get 1 more from being shogun but then you lose 1 because you are hardlocked to kingdom or 1 from tengri-buddhist but then you lose curoa

I've never bothered to check but I imagine custom nations can have 2 diplomats in one idea slot.
