Government: Feudal kingdom King: Sigmar II (b. 1043 - d. 1102, r. 1076 - 1102), Wolfhard (b. 1079, r. 1102; almost nearing his death, going to try include it next turn) 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: In the last days of the marriage, as Lady Mathilde had died on 1134 out of an illness, Wolfhard had proposed an alliance to secure both powers' future. The alliance may also include the even more side effects of further pressing Prussian influence over Vesnia with Orthodox teachings and rites that differ from Roman Catholicism. Vedena (or whatever that is): Okay, whatever. For now. Events: Warsaw Project: The project to Germanise Warsaw primarily continues and is still ongoing. Around 70% of Warsaw still identifies itself as Avar, with migration and assimilation being ongoing, but unlike the previous decade, it is now slower due to some resistance. The Tale of Two Kingdoms: By 1130, King Wolfhard had two sons and two daughters, one of them had already been married off to a local noble back in 1127. To be concise, the names of the two sons were Reinhard and Rudolf. Rudolf was the second son of the King and was born on 23rd April 1126, but he isn't ready to be on a crusade because he's literally too young and that he only wanted to be an efficient administrator. Reinhard, was born on 4th August 1117, making him the firstborn son of Wolfhard. He has already gotten some strange interest into the Crusades, being oddly wanting to go there, which he decides to go. (Really, I want this to be tied to the fate of the kingdom by sending out a son to the Crusades and that if he dies; that other son will succeed) The Death Beds of the Queen and King: Lady Mathilde died on 1134 out of an illness that she had experienced. This had led to King Wolfhard mourning her for two days. Belieivng that this unofficial alliance through marriage might be over, he wanted to solidify that relationship by sending an official alliance request to Vesnia. But by December 1139, the king has started to become ill. No longer he was able to elad the country, he was crippling in health as he was 61 years old and that one of his sons have decided to go into the Crusades while the other is still a child that isn't ready.
