Is there anything higher than Empire?

[Well Fed Tick]

I've decided to try for a total map control run, and after taking Iberia, France, and Britain, the bureaucracy has gotten bad. Even with everything in kingdoms, there are a lot of people bothering me all the time.

Is it possible to make yourself like Grand Emperor or a God and have vassalised Empires? Even then I will have dozens of vassals, but it is better than the hundreds of kings and queens that will be bugging me once I start into Asia.

Not in the base game, but there may be a mod for that

One way I've heard people deal with it is give some kingdom titles away to family members and make them independent, preferably somewhere where they'll be completely surrounded by your empire. Then you can farm easy dynasty points and you have less vassals bothering you.

Make multi-kings.

Give your vassals multiple Kingdom titles.

Or, better yet, let them keep exactly 1 Kingdom, then give them the duchies and hold the Kingdom titles yourself for the prestige. They can have all of the duchies within a De-Jure Empire, but since they only have 1 Kingdom tier title, their succession will be much less messy.
