Large countries can not join HRE. If you really want to join HRE, you first need to get rid most of your lands, leave only few provinces. Then improve relations with emperor until it allows to join.

However, you do not need to be in HRE to get Lion of the North achievement. You only need to be leader of Protestants side.

i have to correct you, cause i loaded an older save and was able to join with that method.
i already switched to protestant, so it didnt work.
old save i still was catholic. moved capital to danzig, after the month tick i was in the hre, moved capital back to stockholm, still was in die hre.
flipped to protestant, sill was in the hre.

so yeah it works, but you need to be catholic :)

How was Danzig already in the HRE? It doesnt start in the HRE, was it conquered by an HRE nation before or did TO join the empire?

START A CIVIL WAR,I've had France join the HRE due to some Huguenot shennanigans, a large enough civil war will make you small enough to join

To join either side you need to be part of the HRE.
