      Eh, if they went imperial they would be subject to imperial needs leading to all the usual imperial problems.

        Funny enough. Sweden already went through that problem. We call it “Age of Greatness”. (Stormaktstiden)

        Basically. Sweden got too big too fast, couldn’t maintain an army large enough to secure everything. If i remember correctly, we couldn’t produce enough food, and we lost a bunch of territory.
