A Bit too Early: in the 1066 start date, play as the Hohenzollern dynasty (count of Zollern) and found the Kingdom of Germany.

Why the kingdom of Germany ?

# rich sky Why the kingdom of Germany ?

because the Hohenzollerns would later become the kings of Prussia, the German state that unified modern Germany in the 1860s, which is what OP is referencing with "a bit too early," but they trace their origins back to the Counts of Zollern, where the dynasty got their name.

I also don't think this is an entirely appropriate achievement. The idea of a unified nation didn't really exist during the medieval period. "Countries" were composed of a patchwork of noble realms, themselves patchworks of the lesser nobles under them, all under the king. Even then that's not entirely accurate, as the French domains of the Angevin Empire technically were not part of England, they were part of France, but it just so happened that their liege was both a French noble and simultaneously the king of England.

Putting all of that aside, by the standards of Medieval Europe, "Germany" is already "Unified" under the HRE, and the HRE only started to disintegrate later on in history because unlike its neighbors, it never centralized under the monarchy and instead retained that highly decentralized feudal organization, but that is more within the scope of EU4 and not CK3.
