## Empire

Source: decisions/empire\_decisions.txt in 1.2a

Notes:

* To completely control a title means all *baronies* in the *de jure* area of that title are in your realm. Use the Sow Dissent mission of your Chancellor to check for baronies within your borders that are not part of your realm, such as castles built by holy orders and cities taken by merchant republics.
