    Lithuania absolutely slaps if you reform the Commonwealth. You get cores on all of Baltics, “generic” Commonwealth cores and then much, much more from “The Greater Commonwealth” focus - most of them are in European Russia so you’re basically a gigantic blob in the middle of Europe.
    Most of Polish monarchy paths are also extremely OP.
    And what’s great about these two - it’s *really* easy to form, conquer and hold. Early war with the Soviets absolutely destroys them, and then you just slap Germany with ease.
