Let me guess, those Swasticas are taken from the Buddhist symbol of peace or whatever. Clearly, a highly progressive government.
Yes, very progressive!
The Great Nordic War
The rising power of the Swedish Empire, and the great military genius and rulership of Gustavus Adolphus led to Sweden growing into great power. After claims made on Jamtland, actual legitimate documents had been found with Swedish claims on the land. Gustavus was able to use these ancient documents to his advantage, and he declared war against Denmark-Norway in 1627. He quickly swept southward, and left the rest of his armies to attempt to kill all other armies in Norway and take Oslo. He went with the largest army southward into Copenhagen, and led yet another siege. His great military might led to Copenhagen (Although heavily fortified) to be captured in 8 months. Around that time, Oslo also fell to Sweden. The war is to continue, however...

Meet The Karankawa!
Spanish Jesuits have baptized the paramount chief of the Karankawa. named Spotted Blanket. Formerly divided into small groups and tribes, Spotted Blanket has united the Karankawa under his direction.
The Karankawa have practiced ritual cannibalism in war up to this time, but Spotted Blanket has forbidden this practice as a prerequisite to converting to Christianity. The Karankawa have begun to wage war against the Tonkawa and Atakapa aided by firearms provided by Spanish traders.
Spotted Blanket has declared that second to Jesus, the King of Spain, will "Be like the boughs of a tree over his head" that "Wherever he goes I shall go"

Iroquois 1620
the great chief grew weary. the great sickness have taken many of his people and the trade of guns for pelts have made it valuable, but its growing rarer and rarer to find the beavers, so he found 6 men of each tribe, taught them English, and with contacts sent them to England with everything they need for them to go to university or guild. it has been 8 years since then and now all 6 are back.buckshot military, Elsu blacksmith, john cena (half indian half white) medicine, Mikasi surveying, Ogaki philosiphy, and Chochmo who became a merchant and amassed a medium sized fortune. they went east to Mohawk territory and found iron. they started to set up mines from local and distant tribes and set up a small European style town near the mine. this would also be where the 6 men would stay there and will become teachers for the new generation when there not needed.
hopefully this isn't asb but here it is
The Fate of Francia
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
The French Empire was quite an expansionist one, taking so much land in the Christian War. Now, their new king, Louis, was to attempt to rule the country as well or even better than his father, Henri. However, almost everything comes at a cost. France had become so bloated that Germans could rebel and France won't be able to control it. Luckily, if they did secede from France, the deteriorating Holy Roman Empire would not be their choice for joining. After consideration and help from his top advisors, Louis decided that he would form a new empire. One that hasn't been in power since the late ninth century. It was known as the Empire of Francia. He was going to make his coronation even more grand, add some more splendor to his crown, and change the flag. He ruled a great empire now, with land in far of regions, and nearby ones. This was truly the land of the Franks.

You had Fawkes survive!! Cool.
I mean, sure, he is a mass-murderer, but, an iconic one.
Yeah, I found it cool too
Also it made me finally watch "V for Vendetta" and I enjoyed it quite a bit.

Karankawa Raids on the Atakapa and Tonkawa
The arrival of the mustang and firearms from the Spanish has allowed the confederated Karankawa tribe under Spotted Blanket to expand into the interior against their neighbors and part-time rivals the Tonkawa and Atakapa inflicting horrible slaughter and plunder upon the tribes of central Nueva Fillipinashttps://tshaonline.org/handbook/online/articles/usn01 The Spanish have all but endorsed these raids as being done in the name of Christendom and Spain

That is a neat movie! I admit I shed tears at parts of it.
the Holy Francian Empire
The demise of the Habsburgs had left the Holy Roman Empire without an Emperor. Thus, in 1622, the Electors reunited themselves in a Diet to elect a new Emperor which needed to be strong enough to kick off the Ottomans. They thus vouched for Saxony, an ally of France's. However, France's size and money drowned four electors which expected to take the money but that Saxony would win, since French money could never buy them alll off, right?
As a consequence, Louis the Just, first emperor of Francia, was elected Holy Roman Emperor in 1622. By 1623 the HRE was annexed to Francia, its states becoming "autonomous principalties" which would lose more and more autonomy with time.

Holy friggin crap! Charlemagne's empire reborn, plus extra!
Awesome!
Although, I can guarentee you than the next war will involve everyone ganging up in this new superpower. I if it gets any more territory, it's absolute rule over Europe is pretty much assured!
Yeah, they're gonna make some enemies...
(SO MANY ALIEN SPACE BATS)
Hope this map shows it accurately
I think there are a few mistakes on the map (French Savoy and Nice but not Belgium as an example) but globally yes it's that big. Francia will truly be the European major power which risks a gangbang. Remember though that in this era not even Louis XIV's France could be stopped even with paneuropean coalitions.
Now it should be time to teach the Ottomans they should've stayed in their own corner or in Asia...
Currently the major superpowers in Europe are Francia, Russia and Ottoman Turkey.
