Protectorates
As Hanover, after driving the Prussians out of Germany, restricting them to East Prussia, and establising them as Protectorates (I didn't even have to pay them anything; they were that desperate for peace!), I was able to unite all of Germany in a confederation!
This included all of the German states, which were established as my protectorates. Some accepted the deal without any demands, while Bavaria and Wuttenburgh each wanted a couple thousand(denarii?I forget.). They were all on friendly terms with me, so that must have helped. Despite that, I have to say, Protectorates are rather easy to establish compared to RTW and M2TW, where factions would only accept if you gave them a couple million denarii.
Awesome, eh?
EDIT: Couple screenies from the bloody Second Battle of Berlin:

The battle was pretty close. I was behind in military technologies, had few line infantry, no bayonets, and relied on militia; this was in stark contrast to the Prussian regulars with their ring bayonets who could charge home and win a melee against my troops easily. If it weren't for the pikemen and the trenches, I would've lost. Thousands had died, but it was not without a cause; the German states are now united! United we stand! Hanover! The Queen!!!
