Aachen, Kingdom of Germany, Holy Roman Empire
1 January 1780
The Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation was increasingly holy and an empire. When Protestantism spread like wildfire across the whole of the empire in the early 16th, its German Emperors took advantage to cleanse the realm of the Papist stench that long undermined the Imperial Crown. With the Emperor Protestant and the Anglo-Frankish and Scandinavians in his support, the Pope could do little but watch as Protestantism overran northern and central Germany. The European wars of religion consequently came to an end much earlier, with the Holy Roman Empire united under a Protestant monarch by the end of the century, following various minor, localized conflicts. Unravaged by the likes of the Thirty Year's War and unhampered by the Peace of Westphalia, the empire was much stronger and its monarch much more powerful. Though Catholics were allowed to practice their faith, the faith of the Emperor was the faith of the empire and a Catholic was prohibited from holding office or throne.
Together with the Aulic Council and the Imperial Chamber Court of the eve of the 15th century and the Imperial Diet, in perpetual session since the late 17th century, the Holy Roman Empire of the 16th century was certainly seeming a unified nation-state. The Emperor's Imperial Army was composed of more than just German troops, and the Army of the Holy Roman Empire was increasingly well-funded, manned, and dependable. The Diet had even authorized an Imperial Navy in 1776, which was beginning to take shape in the shipyards of Holland and Pomerania.
The sun was rising on the Holy Roman Empire.
King of Germany and Bohemia, the Holy Roman Emperor was unrivaled within his realm, and the princes knew it. The election of the next emperor was already little more than formality, as no one commanded as much power and faith as the House of Luxembourg-Wittelsbach and its patriarch. Nonetheless, to absolutely subjugate the imperial princes would take time and careful maneuvering.
