This is just me coping with how miserable the world is without Rome

I guess Mohammed freaking died from a stroke or smth so the Arabs couldn't go full on doom salyer on literally every empire in the region

So basically instead of splitting the realms in two, Charles V gives his entire empire to his eldest son and he is surprisingly competent

Fast forward to the 30 years war, the Protestants are crushed decisively and quickly, leading to the emperor's authority rising for the first time in centuries.

Thanks to this, the emperor is able to consolidate and centralize the empire while also integrating Spain proper into the HRE, making it the true descendant of Western Rome.

While there were a lot of talks about the integration of Hungary, due to its position as the gateway to Europe, it was given more freedom to better perform against the Ottomons.

Truly, Pax Hispanica will last a thousand years
