    Would a Germany this powerful consider making a play for Luxembourg? It was contested before between the French and Germans and has a german speaking population.

      The question would be if the juice is worth the squeeze...

      True, you already have them in your market anyways

      Plus by this point historically I believe all the Luxembourg's fortifications would have been torn down, so it's not longer the Gibraltar of the north

    On the first ideas of what an ultra-conservative Germany would be like, I would think it would try to be an economic hegemon not unlike Britain but without the subjugation and instead, owning all the resources in the countries it brings into its block and allowing the rulers to maintain a lump conservative state. On the second part, you've already liberalized in a sense by removing the old aristocratic governments and replaced it with a nationalist identity. As we look back in history, compared to ourselves now, we would consider the people who were nationalists to be very socially conservative in their thinking. However, back then, they were the radical liberals of their era. The concept of a group of people not being loyal to a monarch but rather an institution of ethnic peers was a very radical idea at the time. In a sense, the British, with how liberal and tolerant their government was viewed at the time, retained that form of loyalty to a monarch, all are subjects of the crown and all shall remain loyal to the crown. To this day, that idea is still prevalent in society, it was quite vividly on display in the national mourning over Queen Elizabeth II's death.

      Exactly, yes! This whole "nationalism" thing making a nation replace the crown in terms of identity and loyalty is overwhelmingly liberal! Yeccch! :-)

      the concept of government employees as 'crown servants' rather than 'civil servants' is still prevalent in the UK too. To clarify, both those terms are frequently and often interchangeably used, and neither is strictly defined ('crown servant' tends to be for police and military though), but it's a little hint towards what you're saying in your comment that is evident in the way we talk about people employed by the government in this country.

      @@failwailtv216 it is the United Kingdom, after all. Several nations with a shared crown.

    what a ridiculous coincidence. I've never seen the swiss do anything let alone revolt to form Second Switzerland, let alone at the exact moment you launched your unification play

    Conservative Germany would absolutely be pro-colonization. Specifically colonial ressetlement though, not colonial exploitation. After all - Germany was a colonizer before America was even discovered - the great push eastward is millenia old. From Prussia to Poland to the Baltics, Germany pretty much 'manifested destiny' since its inception.

    Perhaps you could go east and try to take Poland, Belarus, Ukraine and the Baltics from Russia much like Germany tried to do irl
