Description
The Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation (German: Heiliges Römisches Reich Deutscher Nation, Latin: Sacrum Imperium Romanum Nationis Germanicæ) was a Germanic nation located in Central Europe. Even though it is called the Holy Roman Empire, the empire itself has no claims whatsoever on the city of Rome.
Political Structure
The Holy Roman Empire has a Kaiser (Emperor) as the ruling head of state, there is also a Kanzler (Chancellor) which supervises the nation and help make some important decisions as the empire is a constitutional monarchy. The HRE in EMC does not use the Elective Monarchy structure as the first Kaiser of HRE believes it is too risky to do so. But Prince-Electors still exist, their role is to help collect imperial tax and vote on decisions in the Reichstag (Imperial Diet).
There are 7 Prince-Electors within the Holy Roman Empire, each coming from a different circle, or province. The circles of the Holy Roman Empire includes: The Brandenburg Circle, The Bavarian Circle, The Austrian Circle, The Westphalian Circle, The Lower Saxon Circle, The East Prussian Circle, The Schlesien Circle, The Wurttemberg Circle, and the Pommern Circle. Each circle has their own hierarchy of Princes, Barons, Dukes, so on, all of them led by the Prince-Elector of the respective circle. A local noble can ignore the Prince-Elector if and only if they have been bestowed Imperial Immediacy by the Kaiser of the Holy Roman Empire, this will make the person responsible only to the Kaiser (only takes orders from him). Each Prince-Elector are required to collect taxes from their citizens and pay parts of it to the Kaiser and the Central Government. Taxes are collected weekly, if a circle/province does not pay taxes then its votes will be counted as zero in the Reichstag for the duration of that week until they pay their taxes. The Kaiser has the authority to appoint and decommission Prince-Electors.
Military
There are two kinds of wars the Holy Roman Empire can face, a provincial war, or a Reichskrieg (Imperial War). In a provincial war, only the provoked province and the aggressor (or vice versa) will be included in the official war, other provinces may join if they want to but the Kaiser and the Reichstag, under the supervision of the Kanzler, may declare Reichskrieg if situation worsens. A Reichskrieg (Imperial War), is a war in which the entirety of the Holy Roman Empire must fight, all provinces are called into war and the national army (Reichsarmee) will be mobilized.
As of the 2nd of August, 2019, on the day of the establishment of the Holy Roman Empire and the coronation of Dr_Biochemist as the first Holy Roman Emperor of the German People, the empire has a military force of 12 people (this is the number of troopers in the Reichsarmee), and each regional province has its own contingent of about 2~3 soldiers. This number is expected to increase quickly as time passes.
History
Stabilization
After the HRE was made, its first Kaiser decided to enact multiple policies to stabilize the nation before dealing with other Germanic nations. This includes the hiring of military advisers and the opening of a shop in Regensburg. On the 6th August, Dr_Biochemist temporarily handed over the throne to Most_Creative_1 because of in real life reasons. (the result was voted on by the various Electorates).
