Thuringia is a country in northern Germany starting the game in a personal union under Saxony. Thuringia is fully independent from 1485 and onwards (except between the years of 1573 and 1586 when they are a vassal under Saxony) and takes Saxony's place as elector within the Holy Roman Empire between the 1464 and 1547 start dates. Thuringia borders Saxony, Bohemia, Bayreuth, Bamberg, Wurzburg, Hesse, Brunswick and Goslar.

Decisions[edit]

As country with Saxon primary culture Thuringia is able to form both Prussia and Saxony.

id

Form Saxony

The Duchy of Saxony has passed hands between dynasties and even shifted territory considerably over the centuries. Perhaps we too should lay claim to it?

Potential requirements

The country:

was never an end-game tag.
was never a German regional tag.
has Saxon as primary culture or is Saxe-Lauenburg.
is not a colonial nation.

If the country is AI controlled,

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

Allow

Saxony does not exist.

The country:

is not a subject nation other than a tributary state.
is not at war.
owns its following core provinces:
- Wittenberg (59).
- Dresden (61) or Leipzig (62).
owns at least 6 core provinces in Saxony (area),Thuringia (area) or Saxony-Anhalt.

Effects

The country:

changes to Saxony.
gains 25 prestige.
gets permanent claims on all provinces of Saxony (area),Thuringia (area) or Saxony-Anhalt that it does not own.
gets the modifier “Increased Centralization” for 20 years with the following effects:
- −0.05 monthly autonomy change,
- +1 national unrest.

If Saxony:

is not a custom nation
- then it gets the event “New Traditions & Ambitions”.
was not formed by Thuringia
- then it obtains new missions.(which are Saxon missions)
