Still another character:
OOC: One of these days, you're going to need to differentiate your different characters. You know that, right?
IC:
Hanover is as British as Scotland is German. To continue to claim sovereignty over a separate people by dint of royal succession is ridiculous in this day and age. The German people of Hanover long for reunification with the Fatherland, so that the German people might have the same self-determination and self-sufficiency that the British enjoy.
And what makes you think that they would go for it apart from propaganda pieces? They don't even have the same culture as we do! And as for their language - dear god, have you tried to listen to a Hanoverian speak? They sound worse than the Danes!
Besides, our military is too stretched out and exhausted to do anything lest this be the final straw and the beginning of the dissolution of this great country. Haven't you heard about the high suicide rates in the Army during the débâcle in Lithuania? My god, that was a disaster of massive proportions! I'm surprised we managed to get what we wanted at all from Latvia and the Dutch. At least the Danes and Swedes don't disturb us as much as they used to.
No, we should focus on ourselves first before we do anything as Herculean (and ridiculous, in my opinion) as going over everyone else like a bunch of primitive peoples without manners. We're not prepared and we're too weak to go after any of the principalities. And what if Britain, with their well-trained army and navy, responds to any invasion of what they see is their sovereign territory? We'd be ruined even more than what we are now! Plus, there's already rioting in the streets because of the high price of bread and we have people out of work. What benefit would going around half-cocked bring to them? We seriously need to work to improve what we already have before doing any more silly things that would get us into trouble.
