Neo Prussia

Neo Prussia, officially the Greater Republic of Neo Prussia is a country in Central Europe, controlling half of the Baltic Sea coastline to the north and the North European plains towards the south. Bordered by Germany to the west, Carpathia and Poland to the south, Russia and Belarus to the east and Finland to the north. With a population of almost 62 million people, Neo Prussia is the 22nd most populous country in the world and the 5th most populous country in Europe. Neo Prussia is a unitary parliamentary socialist democracy divided into 18 administrative subdivisions (states). Member of NATO since 1945.

During the German Revolution of 1918-1919, the Prussian Kingdom was abolished and turned into a independent republic. Retaining most of its features, the capital was moved to Kaliningrad. Prussia enjoyed a brief period of peace until 1933 when a member of the National Socialist Party was elected. Heinrich Himmler became the chancellor, a title which was shortly changed to überführer.

Himmler's government supported the Axis Powers during the Second World War, fending off the Soviet Union while the German homeland fended off American expeditionary forces. Himmler was eventually assassinated by a Prussian citizen, and the government was restored to that prior to 1933. This did not stop the Soviet Union, which invaded the state under the casus belli of completely liberating the state from Nazis.

Prussia was under the Soviet Union for most of the Second World War, a period which was known as the darkest period in Prussian history. The Soviet Union conducted regular raids on Prussian households, sending innocent citizens to Siberian death camps at random. After the Axis Powers surrendered, the Soviet Union was obliged to withdraw from Prussia as the Americans reached Berlin first. The occupation zones were drawn up, and the Baltic states were integrated as part of the Prussian SSR.

Prussia was one of the first states to make the leap from the Communist Bloc to NATO. After several secret meetings amongst Prussian and NATO leaders, Prussia declared it's allegiance to NATO, followed suit by Czechoslovakia and Poland. This sparked outrage in the Russian government, but no severe action was taken. The American occupation zone of East Germany was ceded to Prussia as a reward for joining NATO.

Prussia experienced high tensions during this period, being on the border of the Soviet Union, which actively expressed it's intent on reclaiming the Baltic States. NATO reinforcements were positioned in several Baltic cities for defense, but an invasion force going through the Byelorussian SSR caught the nation off guard. Poland and Prussia immediately mobilised troops to counter the invasion. After several months of fighting in the Eastern Front, Poland and Czechoslovakia invaded the Ukrainian SSR, which prompted the transfer of Russian troops to defend Ukraine. This left an opening for Prussia to push back, which succeeded in taking St. Petersburg in the process. Finland made the move of invading Karelia after this, and releasing it as a sovereign state. The Prussian republic entered a new period of peace and stability with the dissolution of the Soviet Union, and the release of all SSRs as sovereign states.

Shortly before the collapse and dissolution of the Soviet Union, a communist faction attacked the Prussian capital, destroying most of the city in the process. Prussia became a communist state from that moment, although not as extremist as China or North Korea. The government was completely reconstructed to suit a more Marxist government. The NeuPrußen Liberation Front was formed in secret during this period, and supplies were ferried in from NATO through Gotland. The Liberation Front grew in terms of support from the Prussian population, which became increasingly distrustful of the government.

The Revolution of 1984 against the increasingly tyrannical government included NATO intervention in favour the NeuPrußen Liberation Front. Without support, the capital was retaken. The new government was installed in the provisional capital of Berlin, but moved back to Kaliningrad after it was rebuilt, although now named Halkon after the leader of the NeuPrußen Liberation Front, Jannsen Halkon.

The nation began subsidizing the electronic industry to fuel the Prussian economy, an investment which proved greatly beneficial. Prussia quickly grew into a technological giant, on the ranks with Japan and Sweden, and is recognised as an influential nation in Central Europe.

Music
Music in Neo Prussia falls into three distinct groups. EDM, Swing and Classical. Most Neo-Prussians listen to all three genres, as well as other songs from other nations. Nightclubs feature EDM as do nightclubs elsewhere, and Swing music is played in traditional styled bars. Usually, some genres will combine with each other to create hits that are extremely common in the nation.

Art
Art is a large industry in Neo-Prussia, demonstrated by the ubiquitous art exhibitions held almost every week. Galleries house some of Neo-Prussia's most famed artworks, including the works of Schultz, Michałowski and Caspar David Friedrich, and more recent ones such as Jacek Yerka and Joseph Beuys.

Media
The Prussian Broadcasting Hub is the main media outlet, similar to the British BBC or American CNN. Most radio shows and programs are routed through the PBH, save for commercialised services.

Neo Prussia has participated in two Mappervision contests so far. The events were broadcasted via PBH.
