Table of States
Whilst any such list could never be truly definitive, nevertheless the list (accessible by the template at the top of this article) attempts to be as comprehensive as possible.
It is not limited to feudal entities that possessed Reichsunmittelbarkeit, that is, under direct authority of the Holy Roman Emperor, but includes quite some other lordships, sous-fiefs and allodial fiefs.
There is also a separate list of Free Imperial Cities, as well as a list of participants in the Imperial Diet as of 1792.
