I am somewhat concerned about this French state.
Well, you know, that kind of was the entire point. Have an enemy that's also a credible threat that would make people think they have to work together to defeat it.
Because I read the entire IC and right now we have the Netherlands in good terms with Germany, which are themselves in good terms with Naples and Eiseinkreis which is neutral above all. I personally think it's boring and since both Germany and the Netherlands have stated they have a dislike of the french, I feel like they would maybe even appreciate a France that could at least put up a good fight before rolling over.

"I highly doubt this "revolutionary fervor" would have spread to Eisenkreis or Kzechverin, since both states came about in a revolution against the prior ruling caste. Thing to note is that if they were to go in against Prussia, Eisenkreis could have been called in to assist, and then your war would have stalled there in the Germanic region. That's fully up to Taniel, however, as he plays the German Empire."
Historically, people hate monarch. Why? Because even if the one holding the leash is more gentle than the previous one, you're still a slave. I don't mean to be insulting in any ways mind you, but I'm a person that likes for there to be action, inside factions and sometimes be your own worst enemy, intrigue and all that.
"This is a decent proposal, though at this point in time, Eisenkreis is a stubborn and stuck-in state, much like Switzerland, and invading them would inflict some terrible losses upon the French. Beyond that, unsure why they would be seeking to "free the minorities of the balkans" as Kzechverin has largely been warring and bringing things upon themselves, through their attacks against the Polish, and even two separate wars against the Ottomans. Back to the point, I could see this as the most likely of your proposals, though more with a truce being struck since one side could not gain ground, and the other one refused to leave their own lands."
The Swiss were conquered by Napoleon and Austria, who would have a significantly more important buildup IRL than you due to the reasons Eisenkreis deposed them, meaning being extremely warlike and having an army of hardened Veterans, was also defeated, many times. No nation is unconquerable. Again, I think it's just a matter of perspective on what we like on nations. I like more organic things were people and nations rise and fall while your view on such things seem to tend to like more static things. I can respect that mind you.
"This one is highly unlikely, due mostly to the military power of Eisenkreis/Bohemia/Kzechverin, and because even /if/ they were to lose so handily as you propose, they would never accept such a peace. The region would be in turmoil, and consistently attempting to throw off French rule. When/if the two nations were to reform, they would also be completely different than what I've already created here, and honestly, that's pretty off-putting just for the sake of past interaction."
Everyone fights the invaders. The thing is that France used puppet governments and generally the argument that you aren't ruled by someone who never worked the fields before and that your taxes don't go on supporting their lavish lifestyles while you toil away tends to calm discidents. Again, we have different views on that.
BUT NONE OF THIS MATTERS. My idea was scrapped as you can read above, so if you want to continue this, it will be an intellectual exercise and it won't matter as I'll have to rebuild France from scratch.
