The Secular German Confederacy, also known as the Holy Roman Empire was created by God Himself in the year 800AD when God Himself, through his representative on Earth the Pope had a Frankish King called Charlemagne crowned Emperor. God had decided to do this because there was a spare crown lying around Rome that wasn't doing anything (God hates untidiness) and the Empire in the East was being governed by a woman and God knows that women are rubbish. If you have a problem with any of this then you have a problem with God.

[edit] German
After Charlemagne died the Empire was split between his two sons, Charlemagne II and Charlemagne III. Like all brothers they immediately started fighting with each other and permanently divided their territory with the one part becoming France and the other becoming Germany. It was the German lands that inherited the Holy Roman Empire trappings. However, due to the Germans not yet having learned the virtues of the power of a unified will they insisted on being split into various Baronies, Kingdoms, Fiefdoms and Duchies with the "Emperor" having theoretical power over this confederacy although really he was only ever called upon to approve a new heraldic design, witness the surrender of a defeated foe or mediate on the trials of goat rustlers.

[edit] The Decline and Fall of the Secular German Confederacy.
From the 16th century onwards the Empire Confederacy became increasingly irrelevant to its member states and with the Confederacy becoming less interesting to the Emperors themselves, the imperial office now being passed around in a sort of Europe-wide variation of musical chairs. Several states in the Eastern Marches even converted to Islam for a few years in the 17th century just to see if the Emperor would notice. Most of the Emperors spent their time trying to marry as many difference princesses as possible or trying to have statues of themselves erected in Peru and other crazy places. At least two of the Emperors actually forgot they were Emperors for some of the time.
Somehow the Confederacy persisted into the 19th century until Napoleon came along and forced the last Emperor to abdicate in 1806. It took another five years for the various states of the Confederation to actually notice that the Emperor wasn't there any more when they tried to get him to sign a declaration recognising the magnificence of the King of Prussia's new trousers.
