Formed NGF by '42 (easy enough if you can get Schleswig-Holstein up to Cordial before declaring war on Denmark), but had real trouble forming GER due to Bavaria becoming a GP before I could take A-L from France. It took until the mid 1860s, if I recall.
Never formed Italy myself, but had Italy form out from under me.

What is the fastest time in which you formed Yugoslavia, that is the real question 
1856 in my case, using HPM
greater Germany somewhere early 1840s basically Sphere Denmark Hannover Schleswig and the southern minors without any wars attack Austria full occupy them and take Bohemia wait to drop to 0 scores for peace afterward mobilize your entire regular army against France use mobilized armies to fight Russia seize Alsace Lorraine.
Wait for truce to end with Austria sphere and done.You have won the game.

Formed Germany almost instantly in a game because of some random event, something to do with a revolt winning in one of the German Minors? Complete accident but you're damn right I didn't complain
See but greater Germany is the goal hereFormed Germany almost instantly in a game because of some random event, something to do with a revolt winning in one of the German Minors? Complete accident but you're damn right I didn't complain
In HPM, you can pull off some crazy stuff with Zulu. I was able to get massive discounts on reforms. The most expensive reform available was only 3040 research points. I had to wait a while to pass the first reform, but after that, I passed all the reforms in three years and westernized by January 1, 1846.

In HPM, the formation of Natalia gives them cores on all of your land. First, I conquered Matabele, puppeted Zulu, then puppet released Matabele. Next, conquered Lubeck, purposefully lost the rest of my land to Natalia to force my capital to Europe, and peaced out with Prussia. From there, reconquered Natalia with my two puppets. Declared on Montenegro, Mecklenberg, and Brunei (another HPM event needed) to be at war with Russia, Prussia, and the UK simultaneously. Occupied Brunei, let Lubeck be occupied by Mecklenberg, and gave my African land to Russia.
This way I became an OPM with 85% literacy while the terrible naval AI couldn't figure out how to take back Brunei. Switched my party to Liberal because it makes the upper 100% liberal which means -40% economic reform cost on top of the more than -40% cost from literacy. Passed my first reform January 1, 1843 when the new government formed and passed the last one exactly three years later. During that time, the Germans took care of the reactionary rebels for me, and I could add enough war goals in the Brunei war to take three Indian colonies and the Cape, preventing Oranje/Transvaal from forming.
Rank 10 after westernization and prestige farmed my way to GP status by May 15, 1848. I have 81% revanchism, an infamy dump, core truce breaks on Russia and the UK, and ultra high literacy to catch up on tech. Zulu is an absolute monster in HPM.

I don't understand how you could puppet the Zulu while playing as them.
Missed that in proof reading, can't release yourself obviously. I meant I conquered Matabele, then puppeted Kongo and released Matabele as a puppet.
