Bamberg is an one province minor in the Holy Roman Empire. It is a vassal of Wurzburg. Its neighbors are Thuringia, Bayreuth, Bamberg, Ansbach and Wurzburg.

The memory of the old Duchy of Franconia lives on in the memories of ambitious local rulers. The Prince-Bishop of Würzburg claims the title, but in practice it has lain in abeyance for centuries, its former lands riven by disunity. Should this unity be restored, then Franconia would once again become a force to be reckoned with in Germany.

Form German Nation

Regardless of the absence of a strong, central authority, our nation is prospering.

Intellectual growth, combined with sea and overland trading, has also helped spur the development and transform our country into a wealthy manufacturing center.

Elevate Bishopric to an Archbishopric

As a Prince-Elector of the Holy Roman Empire we have a much greater political power than the title Bishop would normally imply. Let us make use of this influence to convince the Holy See to elevate our Bishopric to an Archbishopric.
