I saw that 'Archbishopric' is king ranked from DDR Jake's streaming, and Riga was an archbishopric, also had same crown icon of kingdom.

Trier also was an archbishopric and king ranked, but I can understand it as Trier was an electorate and had some position at northern Europe(As archbishopric is king ranked, will papal state be emperor ranked? As chancellor of Bourgogne-archbishop of Trier has this title as well- is king ranked, will duchy of bourgogne be king ranked?).

However, how can Riga be king ranked? Even Teutonic order and Livonian order were duchy ranked at DDR Jake's streaming. Was it intended or simply miscoded?

And I saw that Navarra was duchy. If king ranked Riga isn't intended, Paradox might think that -5 years of national focus delay is too much for little country. If they decided to make a government level nearly empty and matter of prestige, historical kingdoms which are minor in game like Navarra could get king title(Trevizond isn't an empire, right?).

What happened in that stream?
1. Riga was king ranked and Livonian order(DDRJake played) was duke ranked

2. As Riga had upper title than LO, they denied diplomatic vassalization

3. Riga had Pommerania and Hansa as allies

4. DDRJake declared war to Riga with some technic(allied in war can't fight together)

5. Pommerania made a peace with former enemy and honored call of Riga

6. LO lost many provinces

7. LO lost many provinces x 2

8. LO lost some probinces

9. LO managed to regain its territory 100 years after the first lose

Archbishops are King rank but become Duke rank if they secularize and don't have a large realm.

The Archbishop of Riga having a higher rank than Grandmaster of LO is entirely historical.

So is Navarra being a kingdom, which was also mentioned here. Yet Navaraa is a duchy in game.

Thanks for replying! I think that 5 level of government form(like count-duke-archduke or grand duke/principal-king-emperor) will solve this problem, but it isn't needed for EU level stratgy game, right?

what, why?
What "why"? Why was Navarra a kingdom, or why is it a duchy in game? If the first one - that's a weird question. If the second: thats what I'm asking for.

Navarra starts King rank. It was likely vassalized and thus reduced in rank.

I'm guessing from ddrjake stream that if you tank your devotion you secularize. Though in the case of Riga/LO you should just form the greatest formable nation in the game, Kurland

Prussia is one of the worst formable nations. The best are: Kurland, Ruthenia, Greece, Bukhara, Hannover, Egypt, and Sardina-Piedmont.
