Kingdom of Prussia (Old Prussia)

 * Government: Feudal kingdom
 * King: Sigmar II (b. 1043 - d. 1102, r. 1076 - 1102), Wolfhard (b. 1079, r. 1102 - 1144), Rudolf (b. 1126, r. 1144)
 * 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 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. Prussia has sent two generals, one of them is part of the royal family and the other is a relative of the late crusader Adolf von Hiedler. (See the Crusades event)
 * 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 1155 Census that is finalised)
 * Population: 3 120 000
 * 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): 2 790 000
 * Culture: 70% Germanic (62% Prussian, 7% Vesnian), 27% Avar, 3% Other
 * Religion: 86% Eastern Orthodox, 10% Catholic, 4% Other
 * Diplomacy:
 * N/A
 * Events:
 * Death of the King: King Wolfhard died on 23rd May 1144. With the death of King Wolfhard and that Prince Reinhard had been killed in the Crusades, the succession goes to the only child alive, King Rudolf, who is only 18 when he ascended. He is clearly experienced and learnt from the king to live as an administrator than being a general and going off to the Crusades, securing his role as king for the future.
 * Crusades: The Crusades is a blunder for Old Prussia, with both of their generals being sent are being killed in the process. Courland's own generals (which aren't actually directly controlled by me but I'll just mention this here) however, did something to it though.
 * Sanitary: While Warsaw has continued to assimilate into being (Old) Prussian in general, but has slowed down a lot by King Rudolf, King Rudolf came to thinking of improving conditions and sanitation of his own palace and Königsberg in general. Proper sanitation of course does not exist and even when his policies say otherwise and what he meant that he wanted to improve sanitary conditions by literally allowing faeces from castles owned by nobles or the royal family to be put on a wooden bucket and then dumped somewhere in the towns, believing that making the castle 'dirty' makes it vulnerable to being ill to people. They are to be carried over by domestic servants. This kind of policy is in place for some of the castles and it indeed improved some of the sanitation conditions.
