Form Hanover

Now that we control the key provinces of this region, local nobles have no other choice but to accept our leadership. When they fall in line, the united duchy of Hanover will become the leading power of the region.

Potential requirements

Hanover does not exist.
The country:

was never an end-game nation.
was never a German regional nation.
has not enacted this decision before.
is not a colonial nation.
is not the Papal State, the Holy Roman Empire, Germany, Prussia, Lübeck or Saxony.
has Lower Saxon primary culture.

If the country is AI-controlled, it:

is not a custom nation.
is not a former colonial nation.
owns core provinces Lüneburg and Hanover.

Playing with normal or historical nations.

Allow

The country:

has an administrative technology of at least 10.

is not a nomad nation.
owns core provinces:

Effects

- it is a duchy
- it is an elector of the Holy Roman Empire or is not a member.
gets permanent claims on all unowned provinces in:
- North Germany region with Lower Saxon culture
- Braunschweig area
- Weser area.
gets “Increased Centralization” for 20 years, giving:
- −0.05 monthly autonomy change,

If Hanover (1758) is part of the HRE, but its owner is not a member then:

the province is removed from the HRE.
the Holy Roman Emperor:
- gets the opinion modifier “Removed provinces from the Empire” towards the owner, worth −50 opinion with a yearly decay of 1.
- loses 1 imperial authority.

Hanover (1758):
