Let's assume a typical CP victory, the details really do not matter; a decade or so after the war, Austria breaks down and unites with the German Empire. My question is, who might be the emperor of this next stage of the Empire.
I myself have a few ideas that could use insight on;
A Hapsburg or Hohenzollern is chosen separate from the King of Prussia and Archduke of Austria to be the new emperor.
A Noble from a difference unrelated monarchy (Perhaps Bavaria or Saxony) becomes the new emperor.
The Throne alternates between Hapsburg and Hohenzollern.
The Archduke of Austria becomes the New German Emperor.
The Status Quo continues with the King of Prussia acting as the German Emperor.
A new system is put into place to elect the Emperor from the standing German Monarchs within the Empire similar to the HRE.
