Cause of the HRE
Tracing back to when there was a united Germany here, there were already leaders divided on what to do, and who should lead it. Ego_sum_jeffum wanted to bend Germany to his way, Adolf_Hitlar wanted to become Nazi Germany, and Lucled wanted to be Imperial Germany.
When Lucled wanted to abdicate, the country was completely disbanded, leaving most of Europe as a sea of nationless citystates. This caused multiple leaders to take the power vaccuum.
Start of the HRE
The first to go was Adolf_Hitlar. This prompted England to make Germany over Hitlar's place. It did not catch on well in German cities, causing paperpikmin to form Germany. Berlin collapsed, turning the empty space into a power vaccuum, causing multiple cities to fill in the gaps, which resulted in a cluster of outposts and border gore. Eastern German towns annexed into Czecho-Yisrael which caused them to have a sphere of influence in the German region. An uneasy alliance holds between each of the countries in the region, essentially forming a Holy Roman Empire in practice before it is even made official.
Notes
The Holy Roman Empire isn't officially recognized by the countries within it. It is currently recognized as an unofficial HRE by this wiki based on the conditions that lead to the messy state of this region as well as the Habsburg-styled merging of Bohemia and Israel. However, it is neither Holy, nor Roman, nor an Empire.
