Would it be possible that German states wouldn't unify into Germany as we know and love/hate but rather into HRE? Nappy for some reason or another doesn't dissolve it in 1806 and continues to exist as a formality. so when Germany starts to unify it builds up on existing structure but it's centralised and german princes and whatnot recognise emperor as their sovereign.

Granted elective monarch would be a problem for Prussia and if you don't ahve it like that it's not really HRE.

Not well thought out, I know, it just occurred to me today it would be an interesting idea to throw out there.
