AHC: Nuremberg = Franconia

How large should this recreated duchy of Franken be? Since Franconia is a relatively large area controlled by others, for instance Hesse and Nassau are also Franconian.
 
If Bavaria doesn't defect from Napoleon soon enough they may get hit with the same stick Saxony got smacked by, however with no large power nearby that would be looking to directly seize that territory, instead the Franconia area could be given to a new state whose capital may be set at Nuremburg.
 
The Franconian Hohenzollerns of Ansbach and Bayreuth had centuries-long ambitions of getting the title of Duchy of Franconia from the bishops of Würzburg, they sold their lands to Prussia in the 1790s, but they were lost to Bavaria.

Maybe if Bavaria stay with Napoleon for too long they are restored to those lands.
