***LOCKED - SEE NATION RP PLANNING THREAD***

[Nonnel]

Austria holds an Imperial Diet session, with the key issue that Vienna be set as the official capital of the Holy Roman Empire. An organized empire is an effective empire. The Diet, too, would always be held in Vienna.

[Ad Bot]

[Juncoph]

Brandenburg votes nay. The Holy Roman Empire does not have a capital; such a concept would cement the Kaiser's placement and destroy the authority of electors in voting the Kaiser into office.

[Nonnel]

We could begin a perpetual diet so that the emperor is never the only ruling body

[Swat 3]

A plan to slowly implement a more democratized government by the end of the century is adopted by the reigning government with the goal of improving the political stability of the country while preserving the union. It is also decided to rebuild the Norwegian city of Oslo for ship construction and administrative functions.

Brandenburg-Prussia will vote yay if it is granted the title of a kingdom.

With all of the autonomy-increasing perks included.

at least Scandinavia has some precedent for this
Sweden was one of the very few (only?) nations with a fourth estate for the peasantry

HRE vote once I get word from Bavaria

[Juncoph]

Very well. Brandenburg-Prussia is no more... as the Kingdom of Prussia rises! Rejoice!


Prussia votes in favor of the current Imperial Diet.

[CypherX]

nay

[Nonnel]

if we do not centralize, we are doomed to FALL

[Maxwell.]

I'm not in the HRE but can I be the capital anyway

like, as a funny 17th century joke

[CypherX]

if we centralize the electors are doomed to lose all power

fellow electors do not give up your power in the empire

[Nonnel]

We could begin a perpetual diet so that the emperor is never the only ruling body

like congress in the US, it would be constant and have more power than the emperor himself.

[CypherX]

one man is not who we are worried about

it is the location

[Nonnel]

we could otherwise designate a new state with the sole purpose of being the empire's capital
