CK3 Forming the Empire of Russia with Jarl Dyre the Stranger

Starting as Jarl Dyre, I formed the Empire of Russia in one lifetime. Along the way, I discuss some tips on creating a stable empire and how to transition from a tribal realm to a feudal realm. This was a subscriber request playthrough; thanks to anassbouzit9357, this was my first time playing as Jarl Dyre and he was such an OP start and was a lot of fun!
