1648 was the year when most thought the last challengers to Habsburg world dominance perished, and consequently was when a new age dawned on Europe, they called it 'The Golden Age', or 'La Era Dorada'. With Spain winning the 30 Year War and Charles II of Spain managing to produce an heir, Spain's fall never occurs, thus ensuring her domination of world politics for centuries to come. The Kingdom of Burgundy, a Spanish-dominated America, French Australia, a centralized HRE, a surviving Commonwealth, and an Austrian Company operating in South Africa are just some of the political entities present in the globe. With the dawn of industrialization, how will the face of the world look in 100 years? Will the kings of old keep their possessions intact, or will they fade into obscurity, overthrown by their subjects? Only you can answer that question.

I don't understand the motive behind the HRE being "centralized" even though Austria really liked the idea of an HRE really divided through their entire reign, and even during the brothers war they had that in mind. Only thanks to Napoleon that they've got larger ( The kingdoms of Baden and Bavaria for example, and some others in the center-left region of the Rhine thing that he did). Also, Napoleon didn't exist here? I guess it makes sense for some decades of difference
