De Jure Structure

[nominal]

I've noticed that quite a few kingdom titles (all, or almost all, titular) aren't de jure vassals of the placeholder empire, leading to the usual de-jure-drift weirdness that comes with orphaned titles. I was going to just shuffle things around in my copy of the files, but figured it was worth asking if there was some advantage to the current setup that I've not spotted?

What do you mean with "usual de-jure-drift weirdness"?

 

[nominal]

Titles (possibly just kingdoms? I haven't noticed it with duchies, but then again there's less opportunity for it than in the kingdom case) which don't have a de jure liege at game start seem to reset to having no de jure liege on load. Issue from vanilla, noted here: https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/foru...ut-a-dejure-liege-2-6-1.965620/#post-21776789 . I've seen mention of it being fixed, in various patches, but it still seems to be around.

Ah... that can cause problems with new empires, and if you're using vanilla de jure empires.
