[Question] Is HRE the Child form of Germany?

Hello again, all!
It is currently 50 degrees in the dead of winter. (OMGWTFBBQ?) Global warming FTW!

I have a question to ask that has been plaguing me for a while.

IS HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE...

...THE CHILD FORM OF GERMANY?

I want to know-- what you're thinking!  All these mad videos with a HRE uniform clad West(Germany) with Prussia are leading me to thinking of more weird character pairing ships so... Please help me out if you can!

Please provide proof if available!

Upon rereading the Buon San Valentino Strip, and remembering Gilly had endearingly called Germany WEST, I realized that maybe I should Wiki it.

Based off the coat of arms:


I'M A BELIEVER! <3

Also the flashback thingy...
