Talk:Baden

I added Maximillien II because of a posting in the Germany: Discussion page, and because that is the name of the Pretender to the title *here*. But of course we can change that if we like. Zahir 17:29, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

A problem I've noticed before is that the territory labeled Baden on our maps hardly includes any of the original, pre-Revolution Baden! Before Napoleon, the territory controlled by Baden *here* was mostly inside of Jervaine's territory *there*. The exception was Baden-Durlach, which is just north of the Jervan border. Since this state is still QAA rather than QSS, I would suggest a name change, either to Durlach or to Fürstenberg, the largest other pre-Revolution territory in that region. Either could have been expanded by Napoleon *there*, filling in the gap left by Baden's disapearance. Benkarnell 20:43, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

A further thought: if "Baden" were renamed "Durlach" we could keep the same dynasty and most of the history intact. Just a different name. Another thought would be simply to break up Baden, since it's already divided into two pieces. The southern part could be Fürstenberg or even Hohenzollern, ruled perhaps by a cadet branch of the Prussian family. Benkarnell 20:09, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
