General Information[]
Brabant, at its start, is a Catholic Dutch feudal monarchy HRE member located in the areas of Wallonia and the Netherlands, Low Countries region of the Western Europe subcontinent. The monarchy emerges from Catholic Lotharingia in 1183, gaining cores, capital province bordering fellow Catholic Flanders and Liege south, Limburg east, Gelre and Utrecht north and Holland west and the waters of the Coast of Holland (North Sea area, North Atlantic region) west.
Brabant will be annexed by Catholic Netherlands by January 5, 1477, never appearing on-map again and the cores will be lost by 1900.

Strategy[]
Brabant has a very similar strategy to Holland's as well as Flanders', and that is to do a few things: Break free from Burgundy (if you start under a PU with them), conquer all provinces in the English Channel trade node, form the Netherlands, and to colonize the New World.
