Once you finally reach the end, are you planning on publishing them together as a book?This is really the point where I'm summarising massively because the TYW starts just intersecting with every single aspect of 17th-18th Century history.

Oh, that would be a good incentive for people to buy it even if they've read the articles!It's a consideration certainly. I'll need to go back and make sure I've actually got consistent naming across the entire article series (I am absolutely certain I've jumped from English to German at some points).
First however, I'm going to do some maps for some of the more elaborated upon alternate outcomes. They may take a while...

Tom, you've seen how big my maps get when I really start putting the detail in.
"Wow the Holy Roman Empire really was a complicated mess, look at all those sub divisions."
"Actually that is a map of a single Bishopric on the Baltic coast. I had to simplify it quite a bit for readability purposes, hence the A3 foldout included in the special addition that explains all the *."
I was originally going to say on the Polish Border but then realized such a concept was laughable, the HRE laughs at borders that can be summarized with one word.I mean, I assume you were joking about the exact example, but Lübeck did look like this.

Yes but that would be too obvious and its hardly the be all and end all of weird overlapping areas of responsibility and sovereignty.You're thinking of the weird Belgium-Netherlands clusterfuck in Baarle-Hertog-Nassau.

The Prince-Bishop of Lübeck also actually resided in Eutin because Lübeck became a Free City.
At least until the title of Prince-Bishop became a hereditary possession of the House of Oldenburg.
I love the idea of a hereditary Bishop. It just makes a mockery of the whole idea of Bishops.
