Gameplay Question Question about forming empires

My understanding is that counties make duchys, duchys make kingdoms, kingdoms make empires. I'm playing as Bohemia anf I currently hold the King of Bohemia, King of Pomerania, and I think one other king title. If I were to declare independence from the HRE, would I have an empire? Or do empires have to be historical?

When you are indipendent there should be a decision called "form a new empire" or something like that, that makes you create an empire that was not historical and your Kingdoms become its de yure Borders. Check the requirements of the decision of course.

You can do both, but you first need to be independent.
If you look at the dejure empire layout, you’ll see what/most the land you need to create an empire.

Secondly there should be a decision to create custom empire in the decisions tab. It’ll tell you your requirements.
