The Pretzels may also be an in to Drakken. Also an interesting note. Remove one of the "k"s from Drakkenblad and it goes from "Drakken Leaf" (Drakken blad) to "Dragon Blade" (Drakenblad). Just a neat thing I noticed.

Heh. Ten doonkleberries says that Drakkenblad is a descendant of some warrior that took down Malifishmirtz.
 
Just had a thought. If the new OS makes enemy digital actions harder and King Candy has only been able to keep himself in check by raiding the internet, what does our new OS mean for the state of Litwick's Arcade?
Considering the backwards compatibility, that means King Candy has an extra part of the net he may raid. This will continue until our defensive digital network becomes too alien to raid. As the the digital architecture is no longer anything like the ENCOM base we used.
 
[X] Visit Doof's Childhood Home

So, Doof is an immigrants from the last remnants of the Roman empire.

We must reclaim our heritage and bring back ROME.
But seriously it makes a little more sense he wants to conquer things now.

This country really needs an evil overlord to drag them kicking and screaming into the future.

Well, Free and Imperial Cities are only subordinate to the Holy Roman Emperor. If the throne was hereditary, all we'd have to is grab a Hapsburg and tell them to tell Drusselstein what to do.

Problem is, the Holy Roman Emperor was elected. And there are no Prince-Electors left. Even if the bloodlines are still around, they wouldn't have any authority to elect an emperor, since Francis II absolved every Kingdom, Duchy, Prince-Bishopric, and otherwise- except for Drusselstein- of any obligations to the HRE, and therefore any powers they had.

Thus, Drusselstein is a Free and Imperial City without an emperor. I doubt Princess Baldegunde is a Princess-Elector, so they can't get a new emperor. But if we could get a new emperor, a king of kings (or perhaps, a Khan of Khans- Temujin was equal to an emperor once) elected (or bamboozle Drusselstein into thinking so), all we need to do is get them crowned by the Pope. Not even that is strictly necessary, considering that the last batch of Holy Roman Emperors went without being crowned.
 
So what we need to do is have new Prince-Electors in the Tri-state area and Doofenshmirtz's home, and then we can have them elect Doof as the new Emperor of the HRE. Genghis can back our claim.

Thing is, you can't get new Prince-Electors without a Holy Roman Emperor to confirm them. And you can't get a new Holy Roman Emperor without Prince-Elector(s) to confirm them. It's a catch-22. This best idea I've had is to ignore the election entirely and find the closest living relative of the Carolingian dynasty, since legally, in theory, the HRE and the Frankish Empire were one and the same, and the latter went by inheritance rather than election.
