Soissons is a Chalcedonian Roman feudal monarchy located in the northern provinces of the France region of the Western Europe subcontinent. The monarchy emerges from Chalcedonian West Rome on November 1, 461, along with its cores, bordering fellow Chalcedonian Vannes, Cornouaille to the west, Arian Visigoths, Burgundy to the south, Germanic Alemannia, Francia to the east, waters of Quiberon Bay (Bay of Biscay area, North Atlantic region) in the west and North Atlantic in the north.
As West Roman Rump state. this is the only tag that can restore the Western Roman Empire without the need to divide the empire through decision.
Soissons will be annexed by Francia on June 1, 486, broke free from now Chalcedonian Francia as French state on November 27, 511, Soissons was annexed again into Francia on December 23, 558, broke free from Francia again on November 29, 561, it is finally annexed by Chalcedonian Neustria on December 1, 567, losing its cores and never appears on-map again.

Strategy[]
Fall of Rome[]
Opening Strategy[]
To start, save up 100 Diplomatic points to add Gallic as an accepted culture since 71% of your starting territory follow the Gallic culture. Next, see if Italy wants to become allies since they will be a powerful friend to protect you from the Visigoths and Burgundians. Other potential allies include Francia, Thuringia, and Altava.
Unification of Gallia[]
For starting expansion, target smaller countries like Vannes and the countries on the British Isles. Next would be your rivals, and last would be the Visigoths. Generally you will want to call as many allies into a war with the Visigoths as possible due to their powerful military force and economy to support it. Once culturally Gothic provinces are annexed, culture convert them to Roman in order to begin reviving your primary culture (assuming you didn't switch to Gallic) and start rebuilding the legacy of Rome. Once one province is converted to Roman, all adjacent provinces will then be 25% cheaper to convert to Roman; then you will want to start culture converting even more non-Gallic provinces to Roman (and Ligurian if you conquer a province that is Ligurian or adjacent to a Ligurian province).
Retaking Hispania[]
Now that you have dealt with the Visigoths in Occitania and unified the entire region of Gaul, It's time to focus on the region of Iberia where you can finish off the Visigoths which are weakened by the last war. Fabricate claims on these province like usual. Once you have annexed the Visigoths, focus your attention to Suebia and Vascones. Fabricate claims on their provinces. declare war and annex them as they don't have the same strength as yours. With that, the entire region of Iberia is yours.
Retaking the Northern Homeland[]
With Hispania taken back under your control, you can focus your attention on Italia, where Odoacer's Italy will be the prime target. Odoacer's Italy will be a new rival for you in your aim for reconquest of Italia. Bbreak the alliance with them, build a spy network against them, fabricate (a) claim(s) on them, and ally with Byzantium which is a potential ally with which you will get the "Historical friend" modifier once you have restored the West Roman Empire.
Build up your army equal to Odoacer's Italy. Once the truce with Odoacer's Italy is expired, you can now declare war on them and call Byzantium into your war. Once you won the war with them, you can take these provinces from them; however you are not going to take them all: just take some high developed provinces like Liguria, Mediolanum, and Venetia.
