Decisions[edit]

It is possible to form Franconia or Germany as Rothenburg.

id

Form Franconia

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.

The country:

plays with normal or historical nations
has not been an end-game nation.
has not form any German nation
