Not a novel but the next Obsidian game, Tyranny, is going to basically be that. You're going to play a team of the Dark Lord's underlings who's job is to maintain order now that he rules the world.

Oh totally. HRE period Germany was a absolute clusterfuck. And like I said, people literally thought the apocalypse was happening because some states suffered population decreases of 75% or greater.

>German/Prussian Nationalism necessarily conquers others. Must be something in their psyche.
It's the geopolitics. Germans and Frenchmen are at the center of Europe so they necessarily had to play the big empires game. Brits were always a sort of backwater kingdom in comparison and had to mostly stay on their island, having to deal with whatever peoples came their way. So Brits could play the merchant empire role having separated colonies here and there because, to begin with, they didn't have to try to make well defined borders to function. In comparison Germans (which were relevant, but never the most relevant in European history, see >H>R>E) are all about the well definition (see all their philosophers), and Frenchmen are all about being tyrannical, from Foucault, to Napoleon, to the way their provinces are arranged.
