Wouldn't it be weird to call the Kingdom Greater Germania while calling the Empire Germania? Logically the names should be the other way around. Germania Slavica is a bit anachronistic because Slavic migration across the Vistula was only beginning in the 5th century. While it should be likely it's by no means certain the area will be populated by Slavs. Germania transalbis might be a more neutral name.
It looks like we have found another dejure kingdom we can use, Germania Transalbis can be between the Elbe and the Oder while we put Germania Slavica between the Oder and the Vistula
Why not call "Germania magna" "Germania libera", and the empire "Germania magna"?
No, the Romans called their province beyond the Rhine Germania Magna and I think we should stick to the Empire being called Germania
If you're going to call the area between the Elbe and Vistula "Germania Transalbis", then calling the area between the Elbe and Rhine "Germania Cisalbis" makes sense
No, I think Germania Magna makes more sense since thats what the Romans called their province there
Just joining in on the thread but I've been following for a little while very interested in the premise I do think that the Germania situation and it's kingdoms/empires should be based on the tribes in the region and how long they had inhabited. In the case of Germania the empire itself it should only be Germania Magna if ruled by a Roman/Roman derived nation while Germania should be for a normal ethnic german. The title Germania Magna represented those territories outside Roman control so a German desiring to only claim imperial territory in those regions would be folly.
Certain Roman provinces like Rhaetia(Or Raetia the classical terms used the former more commonly) shouldn't exist because the Alamanni had been in control of the region for some generations meaning they should actually be the de jure rulers. The Saxons should also be a de jure kingdom in the region of what is now Hannover but old Saxony since they had inhabited and ruled the region for generations. Certain provinces along the Germania border should be as of the present moment a de jure German state but in the event of a Roman reconquest the old provinces of Rhaetia, Noricum, Germania Inferior, and Germania Superior should return as de jure.
Remember these are tribes we are talking about. What if they suddenly decide to move somewhere else? And you still have a dejure homeland kingdom? But if we have to split Germania like that, I think that your solution, reinstating the old provinces as dejure is a good one
I see defining the de jure setup has generated a lot of different opinions and I'd like to propose a solution. Considering the many different groups that inhabited most regions during this period, it might be a good idea to use a system similar to that present in the Winter King mod, in which, by controlling certain provinces (the CK2 kind, not the roman one) and creating a title, you trigger an event that changes the de jure setup. While this might be somewhat complex it probably would be one of the best ways to portrait the rise and fall of kindoms during the migration period.
Please feel free to say what you think abou this idea, and if there's any interest I might volunteer to try and implement this.
It would have to work for the Romans as well, perhaps if they occupy one CK2 province of a former province, they should have the option to reinstate their province as dejure. Tricky, but I think it would be a good solution if we do split dejure Germania between the tripes and not Roman-inspired provinces, WHICH I STILL PREFER BY THE WAY.
