Mulhouse is a Swabian one province minor in the Holy Roman Empire, located in the Alsace area of South Germany. It borders Lorraine to the west, Strasbourg to the north, Austria to the south, and Baden to the east.

Missions[edit]

Main article: Swabian minors missions

Mulhouse shares Swabian missions with other Swabian nations, focusing on dominating and eventually forming Swabia, granting an additional 8 missions.

Decisions[edit]

Mulhouse can form the nation of Swabia.

Form Swabia

The old Duchy of Swabia ended with the execution of Conradin, the last of the Hohenstaufen Dukes, in 1268. Since then, a plethora of countries, bishoprics and free cities have emerged to fill the void left by the fall of the Hohenstaufens. However, these small states are often unable to protect their liberty - thus, the Habsburgs of Austria have built up considerable territorial holdings in Swabia, which they call "Further Austria". We must restore unity to Swabia if we are to end this pattern of outside encroachment.

Potential requirements

Swabia does not exist.

The country:

was never an end-game tag.
was never a German regional tag.
is not a colonial nation.
has Swabian primary culture.

If the country is AI-controlled then

it cannot be a custom nation.
it cannot be a former colonial nation.

Allow

The country:

is not a subject nation other than a tributary state.
is not at war.
owns its core provinces:
- Stuttgart (70) and Ulm (1872).
owns at least 10 core provinces that:
- are in Europe,
- have Swabian culture.^[1]

Effects

The country:

changes to Swabia.
gains 25 prestige.
gets the modifier “Increased Centralization” for 20 years with the following effects:
- −0.05 monthly autonomy change,
- +1 national unrest.
gets permanent claims on all provinces of West Swabia, East Swabia, Baden (area), Switzerland (area), Romandie and Bregenz (4710).
obtains new missions (which are Swabian missions).

If Swabia:

is not a member of the Holy Roman Empire or is an elector of the HRE
- then it becomes a kingdom.
is not a custom nation
- then it gets the event ‘New Traditions & Ambitions’.
