OK so this is also for my Apollinis et Dianae TL. I'm wondering if there's any way to regain central control over the Holy Roman empire post Peace of Westphalia. The only way I can see is to retard the growth of Brandenburg-Prussia, allowing the Habsburgs and Austria remain all powerful in the Empire. I can also see some kind of early federalization in the Empire, growing out of a sort of close defensive alliance against either France or the Ottoman Empire.
