Correct?
AVSM, since there is no Iceland then I gave you Denmark. Is that OK?
Beskar, I gave you Netherlands. You're OK with that?

This area of history is not really my strongpoint, was Germany in this period still a hodgepodge of small states? I guess you haven't included them to make things abit simpler?
You are right. There were too many small states. To make things simple(for myself) I divided Germany into Southern and Northern part. It's not historical but (don't want to sound like CA) sometimes gameplay balance is more important. There are other historical inaccuracies as well but my excuse is that I am not multi-million dollar game developer and most certainly I am not a computer.

Will you be using any methods to try to ensure we ally at least semi-historically, or will we have free reign to ally with whoever we like? I guess religion would be a method to keep historical alliances. Sorry for all the questions, you've just given us a game with little idea how it actually works! I'll wait for our "tome of I-K's gaming genius" if I have any other queries.
Yes, You can ally yourself to whoever You want. Diplomacy is totally on the hands of players.

About religion...
I have 4 religions in game: Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox, Islam.
Protestants include Calvinists, Lutherans etc. Why? Check that "I am not a computer" part above.
If hexes with different religions share border then public order will be reduced. So, it's in the interest of the player to keep regions in the same faith.
There are several ways for conversion: have army present on the hex you want to convert(inexpensive way), use money to convert regions(expensive way) or own a regions with certain bonuses.

And I have nothing against You asking these questions! Better ask them now than on turn 40 or something

Since only Bohemia is open I will send PM's with maps and stuff tomorrow. Today I have some friends coming by and I don't have much time for this. Hint:
