Countries after the Congress of Erfurt

After the Congress of Erfurt, the European theater of the Napoleonic War was over and Europe, after almost 20 years of constant warfare, was officially at peace and found itself with new borders. The following countries conformed the map of Europe by 1810:

* The French Empire under emperor Napoleon I Bonaparte. With colonial possessions in Africa, America, Asia and later the Pacific
* The British Empire under George III with colonial possessions as well in America, Asia, Africa and the Pacific.
* The Russian Empire under the house of Romanov.
* The Austrian Empire under the Habsburgs and the government of the Prince of Metternich.
* The Kingdom of Sweden under the Bernadotte dynasty of French origin
* the kingdom of Denmark-Norway as the personal union of the Kingdoms of Denmark, Norway, their respective crown colonies and the Duchies of Schleswig-Holstein on the person of the King in Copenhague.
* Kingdom of Prussia under the house of Hohenzollern. A former shadow of itself, it was forced to give Silesia to Austria, which cemented a rivalry that would fuel their policies towards one another throughout the century.
* The Ottoman Empire under the House of Osman. Called the “Sick man of Europe by GD Nicholas Pavlovich of Russia, it was a state on a slow steady decline, exacerbated by the land and influence-hungry Great Powers, particularly Russia, France and the UK all fighting for it.
* The Duchy of Warsaw was created as a political entity in personal union with the Kingdom of Saxony.
* The Kingdom of Spain, under King Ferdinand VII. After a revolution in 1808 headed by the then-crown prince Ferdinand, the ex-king Charles IV exiled himself to the Viceroyalty of New Spain, which in turn led to it becoming an indepent nation, propelling the independence process of the Spanish Americas.
* The Kingdom of Portugal, which after the Braganças left for Rio, was occupied by the French troops, was forced to give up most of its lucrative colonies, like Brasil (gained independence), Macau or Angola. This in turn was given to the exiled Braganças as a way to mantain their domains, and Portugal itself, in order for France to curtail British posibilities to anchor on any European ports were hostilities to resume, was given to Bonaparte’s sister Carolina or rather to her husband Joachim Murat, who became Joaquim Napoleon I of Portugal.

Essentially, through the use of dynastic policy and military or second-hand political presence, the entire of the Italian Peninsula was under French influence. Thus

* The Kingdom of Italy in a personal union under Napoleon with the rest of France, with the person of Eugène de Beauharnais as the heir to the throne
* The Papal States under the domain of the Pope, with a much larger French influence on the area.
* The Kingdom of Naples, under the figurehead of Giuseppe Bonaparte
* The microstates of San Marino, Lucca and Piombino, Benevento and Pontocorvo, all under friendly regimes towards Napoleon essentially run under French administration and or given as friend fief to personal friends or relatives of the emperor.

Contrary to the Peninsula, the island-nations of Sardinia and Sicily had sheltered their respective pre-revolutionary monarchs that beforehand had resided on the Continent and had thus escaped to the islands with their entire courts and had been living sheltered indirectly aided by the British. The congress made Napoleon recognize them as legitimate government in exchange for their respective rulers to give up on any claims towards the mainland. On broad terms, the Islands would be ruled under pro-British government but due to the fact that he had beforehand been unsuccessful at trying to take them by force, he was forced to agree to this conditions. Including these, other Mediterranean Island nations were:

* Sardinia under the House of Savoy
* Kingdom of Sicily under the House of Bourbon-Sicily
* Malta, under the French colonial administration.
