The USE was formed at the end of 1633 as a way to change the government to a constitutional monarchy. Don't ask me the difference because I generally don't pay as close attention to the politics as I do the battles. But Gustav was both emperor and Prime Minister before.
Not sure about the religious leader but I think they're talking about their catholic priest. I believe that was in one of Virginia's books.
BTW-The Eastern Front has a real cliffhanger of an ending. My local library doesn't carry The Saxon Uprising so I'll have to break down and buy a copy. The reviews say it is the best book in a long time.
