Kingdom of Prussia (Old Prussia)
Government: Feudal kingdom King: Sigmar II (b. 1043 - d. 1102, r. 1076 - 1102), Wolfhard (b. 1079, r. 1102) Dynasty: Pregel Military: There is nothing special about the (Old) Prussian army. They are largely comprised of occasional mercenaries (not counted here) and feudal levies from vassals, along with some of the King's own elite guards and levies that he trains them personally, for discipline of course! Prussian military is largely comprised of cavalry and foot soldiers, with pikes and spears to go by. Knights do exist, but the definition is quite different (than say a stereotypical medieval knight of today where they are fully armoured and ride a horse) and they're more of an honorary role within the military and are permanent than say mercenaries and levies, which are largely peasants that are armed with weapons and trained to do so, in the expense of their need for loyalty. The Prussian navy is not that large (as it was not a tradition unlike the Greeks or Romans where the Mediterranean is basically their battlefield) and Prussia's own military is focused on land, making it particularly vulnerable once to the Gothic raiders back in the 9th/10th century. Land forces: (Courland not included) 23 000 levies 10 000 spearmen 2 000 swordsmen 5 000 archers (incl. crossbow archers) 6 000 melee cavalry 3 000 pikemen and anti-cavalry Equipment included are catapults, battering rams and siege towers 3 000 knights 2 000 King's Guards Navy: (Courland not included) 18 transport ships (they carry only like a hundred once) 6 galleys Economy: Prussia is a rural kingdom, although it has some manufacturing into it, which would occasionally be traded with neighbouring realms by Prussian merchants. Königsberg is a city that is the centre of trade for Prussia, but ever since the marriage of Lady Mathilde from Vesnia, it has been getting some attention, but it will probably never be as large as Constantinople, given the fact that Prussia remains rural-based. Demographics: (Census is based on the 1130 Census that is finalised) Population: 3 100 000 Königsberg: 95 000 Danzig: 42 000 Allenstein: 11 000 Lustenbruck: 21 000 Drusselstein: 50 000 Posen: 30 000 Breslau: 20 000 Plytzk: 10 000 Warsaw (Warschau/Varsava): 52 000 Memel: 7 000 Laibech: 12 000 Rural areas (anything not included above): 2 771 000 Culture: 69% Germanic (62% Prussian, 7% Vesnian), 29% Avar, 2% Other Religion: 86% Eastern Orthodox, 10% Catholic, 4% Other Diplomacy: Vesnia: King Wolfhard clarifies to the current monarch that it won't be seeking to 'join' (or have any intent) the Holy Roman Empire, but merely keep themselves as adversaries for the German culture itself. Prussia would want to remain independent and not to lose autonomy. Westria: (Similar message to Vesnia, only that he insists that any application of doing so will be denied by him in advance) Events: Warsaw Project: The project to Germanise Warsaw primarily continues and is still ongoing, with a full generation has passed, demographics have shifted from 79% to 73% on 1130 upon the 1130 Census being released, which is the second census that is carried out. The Tale of Two Kingdoms: The vitality to the union between Vesnia and Prussia continues to bond, although after twenty years and just ten years since secret Orthodox priests have started to smuggle themselves to Vesnia, nobody seems to care a lot anyway, except for King Wolfhard. King Wolfhard in 1127 has declared that he had no intention or plan for his kingdom to submit into the Holy Roman Empire as an imperial subject, where it'll be headed by the Holy Roman Emperor seat at the time, Westria. He still wanted to respect the HRE as being the centrepiece of German culture itself, but he clarified that Prussia needed autonomy so that he could make his own decisions within his realm and his vassal state Courland
