Hello,
as I promised to make my proposal for the southeastern part of the Holy Roman Empire, now it is here! There are some changes from the last proposal, as I additionally reviewed the political situation of each location separately. I've added population and culture suggestions.I have taken population numbers from previous Tinto Maps and taken into account the absolute value of provinces or areas. In the event that the values change, I would preserve the relationship between the cultures and increase the number of inhabitants by just a factor, because I recently found out that the modern borders of Slovenia in 1300 should have had from 450,000 to 600,000 inhabitants, which they now have in the game somewhere approx. 250,000. I hope that my efforts have paid off and that at least some of this will be taken into account.

Notes:
* The area was almost uninhabited until the beginning of the 14th century, Slovenes lived in the outskirts, such as by the river Kolpa, and the rest of the area was covered by primeval forest. In the first part of the 14th century, Counts of Ortenburg began to settle the forest with Slovenes, then in the second part of the century with Germans from Carinthia and Tyrol. Kočevje (Slo.), Gottschee (Ger.) or Gətscheab (Got.) is mentioned for the first time in 1363, and before that it was called Mahovnik (Slo.) or Mooswald (Ger.).
** In year 1365
Rudolf IV, Duke of Austria established Růdolfswerde (Ger.) or Rudolfovo pristanišče (Slo.) the locals called the place Novo Mesto (Slo.) or Neustadtl (Ger.).

Istria (Province)
In 1337, the western coast of Istria was in the possession of the Republic of Venice, before that it was part of the Patriarchs of Aquileia, Pula was appropriated in 1150, Koper in 1279 and Rovinj in 1283. Labin (1295 from P. of Aquileia) and Pazin (1209 from Counts of Weixelburg) were in the possession of the Counts of Gorizia (Gorizian branch), Pazin in 1342, it passed into the possession of Albert III of Gorizia (Istrian branch), as he renounced the County of Gorizia. After his death, the property passed into the hands of the Habsburgs in 1374. Labin was owned by the Patriarchs of Aquileia in 1381 and later in 1420 under the Republic of Venice. Buzet was owned by the Patriarchate of Aquileia and also became part of the Republic of Venice in 1420.
In addition to drinks (wine) and food (cheese (livestock farming), olives, fish, fruits), there were also two important raw materials in Istria. In the northwest (location of Capodistria) were or are still one of the largest
salt evaporation ponds in this area, and in the southeast, in the location of
Albona, there was the largest coal mine in Croatia.
The vegetation in the west of Istria is predominantly agricultural, while sparse forests dominate in the east. The topography is flat in the western part, hilly in the north and more plateau in the east.
Throughout history, Istria has been very culturally mixed, especially in 1337, it was probably very colorful. In the west, the
Istriot (Dalmatian dialect or even their own language) dominated, among which the ruling culture (Venetian) was already immigrating, mostly in the form of the bourgeoisie. On the outskirts of the cities, there are already the first Slavic settlements, which are attracted by lucrative opportunities. In the north of Istria, the majority are Slovenes, and in the central part, Croats. In the east of Istria, the
Rumerian culture predominates.
Friuli (Area)
Friuli (area) was majority owned by the Patriarchate of Aquileia, which its parts in 1420 became part of Republic of Venice. The exception was Pordenone, which had been owned by the Habsburgs since 1278, but before that it had been owned by the Přemyslids. In 1508 it became part of the Republic of Venice. Next Trieste, which was an independent commune until 1382, after which it submitted to the Habsburgs. Duino was owned by the Lords of Duino, in 1399 with their extinction the property was inherited by the Walseer-Enns lords. In 1466, they also died out and the property came into the possession of the Habsburgs.
In Friuli, the production of raw materials is mostly based on food and wine production, the exception being the two smaller provinces of Carnia and Trieste. In mountainous Carnia, the largest yield of mineral raw materials is found in Tolmezzo, where there were copper mines (
Monte Avanza and Timau) and the western part of Carnia was dominated by quarries. In the province of Trieste, above the city of Trieste, horses have been bred since time immemorial, and the
Lipica stud farm still exists there. In the location of Duino, one of the main raw materials was wood, as it comprises part of the
Karst Plateau, which was covered with an oak forest even before it was cut down to build Venice. The location of Aquileia, like most of Friuli, had wheat as its raw material. In the province of Friuli, in the south, there was one exception in
Latisana, where salt was also produced.
The vegetation in the flat part was predominantly agricultural, sparsely dense in the hills, dense forest in the mountains and plateaus.
Friuli was mostly inhabited by Friulian culture, along the borders it mixed with Venetian culture in the west, in the north with
Timavese (Southern Bavarian) and in the east with Slovenian culture. Venetian culture came to the Friuli cities later, when Patriarchate of Aquileia became part of the Republic of Venice, so in my proposal there is none in central locations of the area. Trieste also became Venetian during the Habsburg Empire, but before that it was Friulian. The countryside of Trieste remained Slovenian for a long time.
Carniola (Area)
Carniola was dominated by two political powers in 1337, the first, which also controlled a wider area, the Habsburgs, owned Ljubljana, Kamnik, Postojni and Kostanjevica, which they appropriated from the Přemyslids in 1276. The second was the Ortenburgs, who owned Kranj, Ribnica, Lož and Mahovnik (Kočevje). Kranj was acquired in 1102 from the counts of Weimar-Orlamünde. Ribnica was acquired from Andechs in 1248. Lož was acquired in 1335 and Mahovnik in 1336 from the Patriarchate of Aquileia due to a dispute, and the severance was paid with the lordships. The Patriarchate of Aquileia owned Idrija, Tolmin and Cerknica in Carniola. Tolmin and Idrija belonged to the Republic of Venice after 1420, later in 1509 they were conquered by the Habsburgs. In 1395, Cerknica was donated to the Carthusian monastery in Bistra, which was part of the Habsburg territory and thus Cerknica became part of it. The Counts of Gorizia of course owned Gorica (acquired from the Aquileian Patriarchate in 1120) and Metlika (acquired from the Aquileian Patriarchate in 1277). Metlika, in 1342, it passed into the possession of Albert III of Gorizia (Istrian branch), as he renounced the County of Gorizia. After the death of Albert III in 1374 and the failure of the Istrian branch of the Counts of Gorizia, the property passed into the possession of the Habsburgs, who then sold the property to the Counts of Celje in the same year. Smaller players in area were Lords of Duino who owned Prem (acquired from Andechs in 1248), Prince-Bishopric of Brixen owned Bled (acquired in 1004 from the Liudolfingers), Prince-Bishopric of Freising owned Škofja Loka (acquired in 973 from the Liudolfingers) and Prince-Bishopric of Gurk, which owned Mokronog, but due to the insignificance of the place I assigned them Višnja Gora, they got the property from Hemm von Gurk (1045), who was later in 1439 captured by the Counts of Celje during the war with the Habsburgs, they ceded it to them for an agreement.
In Carniola, the raw materials are a little more diverse depending on the landscape. Oberkrain was dominated by mineral raw materials, such as iron and stones, Ljubljana as a flat part, which in the south was mostly marsh, was its biggest source of food (wheat). Gorizia is also strong in terms of mineral resources, as it has a mercury mine in
Idrija and clay in the Gorizia location. Tolmin is known for its dairy products. Unterkrain is last which contains mineral raw material (clay). The province is known for its wine and livestock (pork). Mitterkrain is known for its wooden products and its rugged nature, which offers many meaty "fruits". Wood as a raw material continues to be a more important resource also in the province of Innerkrain in the location of Postojna. As an interesting point, there is an
intermittent lake in the east (Cerknica), which made it possible to catch large amounts of fish, or literally gather fish. The third raw material in the province was wool.
Most of the vegetation is forest, the locations of Ljubljana and Kostanjevica are more agricultural, as the topography allows. The north is mountainous, the western southern part is dominated by plateaus and karst fields at altitudes of 500 m and above. The east is dominated by hills. Only Ljubljana is a larger plain, but a large part of it is bog.
In the year 1337, Carniola was part of Slovenian culture, except in towns and markets where Germans (Southern Bavarians) were mostly present. In the southern part, there were some small pockets of the German peasant population, so that the name of the villages "Nemška vas" (German village) has been preserved to this day. In the north, or more precisely in Bischoflack, a larger colony of Germans from Bavaria (Central Bavarians) and Carinthia (Southern Bavarians) existed.
The Freising bishops settled them there in the 11th century. The location with the smallest number of inhabitants, currently called Mooswald (Mahovnik), was mostly forest in 1337, except by the river Kolpa (Kupa) where a handful of Slovenes lived. It was only at the end of the 14th century that the Counts of Ortenburg settled in South Bavarians and the location was renamed to Gottschee (Kočevje).
Styria (Area)
Styria was almost entirely owned by the Habsburgs, who had appropriated it from the Bambergs in 1246. The Counts of Celje owned Šoštanj (acquired from the Counts of Heunburg in 1322) and Celje (Žovnek was owned since 1130). Prince-Archbishopric of Salzburg owned Leibnitz and Ptuj (acquired from the Kingdom of Hungary in 977), then fell back to the Kingdom of Hungary in 1479 and then returned to Salzburg again in 1511, which was then sold to the Habsburgs in 1555. Prince-Bishopric of Freising owned Oberwölz (acquired in 1007 from the Liudolfingers). Prince-Bishopric of Krka, which owned Bizeljsko, but due to the insignificance of the place I assigned them Brežice, they got the property from Hemm von Gurk (1045). The property was then acquired by the Tattenbachs in 1608 and later in 1671 by the Habsburgs. In the year of 1335 PB Gurk also leased Slovenj Gradec from Patriarchate of Aquileia which was later annexed in 1362 by Habsburgs. The Duino lords owned Eibiswald, which they acquired in 1325 from the Wildon lords.
There are quite a few deposits of mineral resources in Upper and Middle Styria, such as iron, silver, coal, stones and salt. When I was reading the
resources, I was already on the verge that every location would have mineral resources, but in the end it was not like that. Based on the topography and the hairiness, I decided on natural raw materials (wood, livestock, wheat), Graz was especially known to produce wool. In Lower Styria, food commodities dominate, other commodities are coal (
Velenje mine), sand (quartz mines in the south of location) and iron (
Ivnik Mine),
The majority of Styria is a forest country with a predominant sparse forest. A denser forest is in the north above the Mura River and in Pohorje. The predominant agricultural vegetation is in the location of Graz and Pettau. The topography is very contrasting, Upper Styria has mountains and Middle and Lower Styria hills.
Styria was largely German, except in Lower Styria where Slovenes dominated.
Marburg and
Judenburg also had Jewish communities, especially Judenburg, which was even named after them. The western part of Early and Middle Styria contains the South Bavarian culture, as there is also a dialect border with the Central Bavarian dialect, which represents a large part of the Styrian culture. Slovenian locations also contain German burghers, just like in Carniola.
Carinthia (Area)
In 1337, the largest landowners in Carinthia were the Habsburgs, who acquired their estates in 1276 from the Přemyslids. Prince-Archbishopric of Salzburg owns Friesach, Gmünd and Matrei. The Counts of Gorizia owned Obervellach (in 1164 from Brixen) and Lienz (acquired before 1090 from the Patriarchate of Aquileia). Prince-Bishopric of Bamberg owned Villach (acquired in 1007 from Prince-Bishopric of Brixen) and Wolfsberg (acquired in 1007 from the Liudolfingers). The Ortenburgs owned Spittal as their capital (acquired from the Counts of Lurn in 1135). The Friulians owned Hermagor, which was then owned by the Counts of Gorizia in 1342. Prince-Bishopric of Gurk, which owned Gurk, got the property from Hemm von Gurk in 1045.
Carinthia is dominated by lead (
Mežica and
Bleiberg) and marble, followed by iron, copper and stones. Other raw materials are wheat, livestock, wood and wool. (

Most of Carinthia is sparsely forested, as the higher areas have pastures, the valleys are cultivated, and the steep areas are covered with forest. Klagenfurt has the largest agricultural areas. The steepest slopes are in the southwestern part of Carinthia, and as a result, the forest there is much denser. Most of the area is mountainous, especially the western part. The east is dominated by hills and one location of with large plain which is on high altitude so that it has more of a plateau character than being a flatland.
In Carinthia, Southern Bavarians and Slovenians intermingle much more. Although the distinct national border runs along the Drava River, both cultures are found in smaller amounts on both sides. The locations which contain 5% of Slovenian culture and the Matrei location with 25% Slovenian culture (
the last Slovenian colonization of Carinthia in 1300) represent the last spots of this culture, which were assimilated into German by the 15th century. A small minority of Friulian culture is also present in the Villach location.
More general political changes later:
In 1399, after the extinction of the Duino lords, the entire Duino lordship passed into the hands of the Walseer-Enns lords. When the Walseer-Enns died out in 1466, the estate became part of the Habsburgs.
After the death of the Ortenburgs in 1420, all their property passed into the hands of the Counts of Celje. After their extinction in 1456, the entire Principality of Celje passed into the hands of the Habsburgs.
In 1363, after their extinction, the estates of the Counts of Gorizia of the Tyrolean branch were became part of the Habsburgs.
The County of Gorizia, which the Counts of Gorizia from the Gorizian branch did not lose until their extinction, passed to the Habsburgs in 1500.
Germany has the highest density of locations in the world, as we wanted to portray the historical fragmentation of the HRE at the most detailed level of any Paradox GSG. There are a couple of things that we are aware of and we want to rework: the location connections (as in some places they are not obvious at all, and we want to make warfare in the HRE not impossible); and the transition between the German locations and those at their east, making it smoother (something that we will be doing in the review of Poland, Hungary and this region [e.g. for Bohemia]). A final comment: if you click on the spoiler button, you may be able to see 4 more detailed maps of the region.
), as they reflect more modern areas so we will be looking into an alternative setup for them with your feedback. They also currently use their German names, which will change to English ones to be in line with other areas, as usual.
The population of the HRE is… Fragmented. In that regard, Bohemia starts in a very strong position, with a strong competitor to its south (Austria) and north (Brandenburg).
