Assuming that the Salian dynasty would have survived after imposing their views in the Investiture Controversy, limiting feudalism and boosting centralization and Imperial control over the Roman Church:

- Would it become a more homogeneous entity both culturally (Germanized) and religiously (less chance for Reformations)?

- If reached the Exploration Age, would it have been an isolationist power centered in continental dominance ('China-like Empire') or would have opted also for launching their own colonial plans?

- Would it embrace Constitutional monarchy at some time? Would it allow French Revolution or similar?

Please, share your opinions :)
