"Your capital cannot be connected to the Empire"

[Twomosquito9576]

I am playing a game as TO and have 150 relations with Austria, yet it wont let me join because "Your capital cannot be connected to the Empire" has anyone encountered this before? and if so can this be fixed.

Thanks

(i have loaded multiple saves and this has happened in all of them)

EDIT: i made a separate game and moved my capital to Danzig, this let me join, would it be smart to do this?

Either accidentally or on purpose, your capital province itself must now be literally adjacent to the empire.

so move your capital, and you’ll be good.

Yeah, had the same issue with Provence. Moving it fixed it.

A bug I guess, it doesn't make sense.
