[edit] Heads of State

The empire as a whole is ruled by the Fürstenbund, which is as follows:

• Empire of Austria - Emperor Otto II
• Kingdom of Prussia - King Frederick V
• Kingdom of Sardinia-Piedmont - King Charles Emmanuel V
• Grand Duchy of Bavaria - Grand Duke Maximilian V
• Grand Duchy of Bern - Grand Duke Frederick IV
• Grand Duchy of Hesse - Grand Duke William II
• Grand Duchy of Tuscany - Grand Duke Leopold IV
• Duchy of Hanover - Duke Ernest Augustus II
• Duchy of Saxony - Duke George III
• Duchy of Venice - Duke Francis IV
• Duchy of Württemberg - Duke Frederick V
• Duchy of Zurich - Duke Charles Rudolf III
• Magraviate of Baden - Margrave Frederick III

Also, the Emperor of Austria is the hereditary Holy Roman Emperor, which, by now, is little more than the president of the Fürstenbund. The title carries prestige, and the additional titles of King of Germany, King of Italy and Protector of Switzerland.
