Not to be confused with Munster.

Münster starts the game as a Theocracy inside the Holy Roman Empire, in Westphalia. It is bordered by Brunswick, Cologne, Cleves, Gelre, Friesland, East Frisia and Oldenburg. By having three provinces Münster is larger than most of its neighbours, being in an excellent position for expansion in any direction within the Holy Roman Empire.
