What are the exact requirements for Federation? Joining Eurasia and Germany.

[Mitzku]

Right now I have both the Eurasian Union and Germany under my control. I've done the Warsaw Pact tech and the one that expands German claims into Czechia.

I'm attempting to combine Eurasia into Germany, as Germany being a full democracy will be able to use Eurasian lands better than the autocratic Eurasia. Right now Germany has claims on Eurasian land, Czechia, and Eurasia has claims on Berlin.

When I attempt to form a federation it only allows Germany into Eurasia, from what I understood if there are claims on either one, then you can add them to the federation. Like how the EU can annex Russia even though they don't get Siberian claims.

What are the exact needs for federation? I do not have the option to join Eurasia in Germany, only Germany into Eurasia.

If you mouse over the flag in the Relations tab of a country's infobox, it will tell you exactly the requirements for Federation.

The nation trying to join the federation must be allied to at least one nation in the federation, without the diplomatic cooldown active.
The nation trying to join the federation must be currently capable of creating an Alliance with all federation members, disregarding the distance-related requirements (meaning, they must not be rivals with any of them, and any that aren't allied must not have their diplomatic cooldown active).
One of the nations in the federation must have a claim on a region owned by the joining country, or the other way around.
You must control the Executive CP of both the federation leader and the joining nation. The Executive must be consolidated, which means either you've held it for 180 consecutive days or you gained control of it through force, which means a coup, revolution, or a regime change war.

I'll clarify in my original post. But I do not have the option to join Eurasia in Germany, only Germany into Eurasia. Despite both having the requirements.

If you mean you want the EAU to join a German federation, it doesn't really matter, it's mostly just a name.
If you want Germany to absorb the EAU, it can't do that except through very game-y means. In order to Unify, the nation trying to absorb the other must have a claim on the capitol of the other nation. Germany can't get a claim on Moscow.
For the game-y means, you might be able to move the capitol of the EAU to somewhere else that Germany does get a claim on, like Prague, by ceding territory to other nations like the EU (France).
