South German Confederation – Formable

As we all know from history, the unification of the German lands began in the north—Prussia became the core of the North German economic, and later political, union. After the Franco-Prussian War, the German Empire was proclaimed, with its capital in Berlin. But what if unification didn’t begin in the north — but rather in the south? What if an alternative center of power emerged, allowing virtuous German states to unite into a single nation?
We present to you a mod by the widely known (in narrow circles) Anbennar translation team[vk.com], dedicated to an alternate history of the German principalities.
Following the recent 0.3 update, the South German Confederation (SGC) is no longer a unitary state that can be formed simply by conquering all neighbors—now it functions as an international organization, modeled on the Swiss Confederation, with its own unique mechanics.
So, how do you form the SGC? It’s quite simple:
– Your capital must be located in the region of Southern Germany (excluding Switzerland, Bohemia, and Moravia)
– You must be in a defensive alliance with another principality whose capital is also in that region
– You must have at least 30 Prestige
– You must have 100+ relations with the HRE Emperor
Once these conditions are met, open the diplomatic menu with the Empire and request the Emperor to establish the Confederation. Voilà — you instantly become its leader and receive four pre-accepted Confederation laws; simultaneously, your defensive allies join the Confederation (after first leaving their previous factions, if applicable).
- Unique laws and policies for the South German Confederation
- Dynamic flags implemented for monarchy, republic, and theocracy—two variants each for regular bishoprics and electorates; additionally, the republican flag changes in the Absolutism age
- Four unique achievements for the newly formed nation (plus one specific to Bavaria)
- Unique estate privileges and post-unification reforms
- Two fully original events (the remaining six are adapted from the Swiss Confederation)
- Custom UI window for the SGC organization
We aim to implement a rivalry between two confederations — the Swiss and the South German — as well as a dedicated event chain for merging certain city-states into a unified minor republic within the SGC.
