The title really says it all. Suppose Francis II stubs his toe on a doorway and dies an agonising death and never gets to dissolve the Empire.

The electors at this time are now Karl Theodor, Prince of Regensburg, formerly Archbishop of Mainz, Emperor Ferdinand of Austria as King-Elector of Bohemia, Maximilian I as King of Bavaria, Frederick Augustus III as King-Elector of Saxony, Frederick William III of Prussia as Elector of Brandenburg, Frederick I as Prince-elector of Württemberg, Charles Frederick of Baden, and William I of Hesse ... also George III of the United Kingdom as Prince-elector of Hannover.

I assume it's a truism that with this set-up, Napoleon can get whatever he wants. Would he want to become dual emperor of Rome and France and continue playing on the Charlemagne image? Would George III even be allowed to vote in absentia?
