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. 1126-1178, r. 1144-1178), Sigmar III (b. 1150, r. 1168)
 * Dynasty: Pregel
 * Military: As the failure of the Prussians in the Second Crusade had gone by, the morale of the Prussians have gone down quite a lot. Things are quite bad now, the Avars are getting more resentful against the Prussians, because they sought to reap the benefits and are experiencing some wealth growths within their own towns too, which makes the nobles of Old Prussia even more envious. The military is now being used to suppress any form of dissident and any form of peasant uprising, but some modern historians argue that they are being used to promote the Prussian culture itself even more, especially in Warsaw, where there has been violence in the city quite lately.
 * Land forces: (Courland not included; finally updated it in like 6 turns)
 * 24 500 levies (60% of the levies are raised)
 * 9 000 spearmen
 * 3 500 swordsmen
 * 6 000 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 (largely swordsmen and spearmen that are trained harder than normal and honoured by the King)
 * 2 000 King's Guards (guards that have a sword and a shield that goes with them, wears a lot of armour; there's a disadvantage and that's the speed and agility of them)
 * 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 capacity but they're concentrated in major cities, which would occasionally be traded with neighbouring realms by Prussian merchants. Königsberg is a city that is the centre of trade for Prussia. In a post-Wolfhard reign, the retention for the city has declined, but the symbolic Vesnian and Old Prussian alliance remains as his standing legacy. Since the mid-12th century, Avaland, a neighbouring realm of the Prussian Kingdom is wealthy and is the boundary to the Orthodox-Catholic world, some Avars within Prussia who locally travel there are becoming wealthy, this has led to some division among the Old Prussian Germans and the Avars.

 * Events:
 * "Blame the Avars": The Prussian nobles and general subjects who identify themselves as Prussian began blaming the Avars as "money stealing people" as they do not have anything that they can point their finger with. This led to ethnic violence and tensions rising between the Prussians and Avars. The Old Prussian golden age has ended, but many say that the royal family is partially delusional ever since Prussia had won conquests against Avaland a century ago. They blame the Avars for the woes and downfall, calling for assimilation and settlement of Avar territory to Germanise the area and make it harder for them to regain their territory back. As a result, some Prussians are moving out from their old homeland and settle more into Warsaw (Varsava).
 * Prussian Levies Raised: Under King Rudolf, he knew that he needed to take action and keep Prussian integrity. He raised 60% of the levies to patrol and watch for any rebellion in Avar-majority territories.
 * Assassination of the King: On 13th February 1169, the king is poisoned by a chef. This further escalated Avar-Prussian tensions. His son, Sigmar is coronated as King Sigmar III, who is known to be quite xenophobic against Avars...
 * Violence: In Warsaw, ethnic tensions have continued to rise with more Germans settling into the city within a span of 10 years (not a lot though) and nearby towns to push the Avar population out. This had led to violent attacks starting at 1169 between both ethnic groups as the city has become a battleground for being assimilated into the Old Prussian culture. Thousands of Prussian levies and few knights have arrived to quell the violence, but many of the Avar subjects blame that the forces that want to suppress both rebellions are "directly attacking" them and beating them by their heads. King Sigmar III has become extremely hardliner against these rebellions and began turning Rudolf's own raised levies to issue curfew-like policies against Avars across cities and towns, while using Warsaw as a scapegoat to encourage Prussians to assimilate the Avars by overwhelming their towns by the numbers.
