Heck, what WOULD a working HRE even look like in the Victorian era, from a fluffy perspective? I'll figure that out during conversion, if its relevant.

The HRE would be incredibly easy to model if the Emperor was a GP. And unless someone dies and Bavaria and Franconia go into PU that's unlikely.

Chapter 40: Father's Son (1740 - 1750) Before commiting to war, Aram implements a number of experimental army reforms meant to strengthen the discipline of the army by strengthening the internal bonds of regiments. Eager to win glory in war and see the effects of his many army reforms, Aram declares war on Armenia, riding across the border at the head of his army. Though the enemy alliance is formidable on paper, the Hungarians and Ethopians are in no position to give Armenia aid and Aram feels no need to share the glory with his own allies. The Azeri army advances into Kibyrrhaitoai, winning a decisive victory and destroying a full half of the Armenian forces. The Bosnians send a large relief force to assist their allies, but are defeated and wiped out at Anatolikon. Next the turn comes to the remaining Armenian forces, leaving the way clear for Azeri siege forces to begin capturing territory. The Armenians begin to desperately recruit new troops, and the Bosnians send several more armies via ship, but in the end they simply do not have the troops to stop Aram's advance, and Armenian Anatolia is fully under his control by spring of 1742. A more careful diplomat than his father, Aram settles for the lands claimed in his forged documents, but forces the King of Armenia to renounce all his own claims on Azeri lands. Returning home in triumph, Aram returns to strengthening his grip over Azerbajian by developing a new provincial administration system with royal administrators in every town. He also continues his army reforms, stripping the nobility of their privileged position within the army and opening the higher ranks to commoners. His son and heir Burak comes of age in 1746. Burak is a large man with an appetite for war and little patience for diplomacy, tact or paperwork. He has inherited the Daei cruelty and temper, but none of his father's tastes in private pleasures. Instead, he seems to shy away from the company of both women and men, devoting his time wholly to martial and athletic pursuits.

So, this is fantastic. We're Prussia. Edit: It appears the Greeks are rallying against the Bulgarians. If Epirus takes Constantinople can they (re)reform the mighty Byzantine Empire?

I've never, ever, gotten three monarchs with 8 of any stat in a row. Hell, there've been full games where I don't get a single monarch with an 8 in a stat. That's some crazy luck there, unless there's some subtle monarch stat tweaking going on in the mod.

Also I think Burak II is the only 8/8/8 ruler I've ever had live more than ten years.

I really hope EU3 ends on a high-point like we're having right now. Then just like the Ottoman Empire, Azerbaijan is going to realize they're not really in a great spot to compete with the real Great Powers during the Victoria era.

Georgians may have been with us forever but they've also had their own millets forever. The fact that they've lived in our territory a long time doesn't mean they're integrated into a privileged position in the state (or else you could argue that Tatars should be an accepted culture in Russia, or that China should have every single of its cultures accepted)

It's mostly a gameplay decision.
