Brandenburg-Prussia

Brandenburg-Prussia, commonly referred to as simply Prussia, is a country in central Europe that encompasses the historic regions of the Kingdom of Prussia. such as Brandenburg, Pommerania, Königsberg, the Danzig Corridor, Silesia, Schleswig-Holstein, and Memel. As well as the region of Saxony. It was founded in the Opening months of the 2021 year.

Government
Ever since It's creation, Prussia had high regard for Monarchical rule. After brief requests from the people to form a larger diet for government, the King declared the country a Constitutional Monarchy. A federal Diet would be housed in the newly constructed Reichstag. Included in the governmental system would be a chancellor, appointed by the King. The Reichstag, the King, and the Chancellor must all agree upon an initiative before it would become law. This system remained in place until the Diet was dissolved after many of the members resigned, and the Diet could no longer be justified due to its waning size. The diet would later slowly be reformed as new ministers were appointed.

History
Although not as rich as one might hope, the history of Prussia has been sprinkled with bits of important events on the Server. Prussia had remained neutral until it called for the dissolving of the Teutonic Order and It's subsequent annexation. Prussia would remain under the radar of the world until early March of 2021, when it was roped into an elaborate conflict over a monopoly over the gunpowder business concerning Madagascar and the Tower Cult. Prussia would go on to attack the Fovrix Empire, in a pre-emptive strike to stop it from entering the war after rumors of intervention had become apparent. After defeating the Fovrix Empire, it was dissolved and its land partitioned. Prussia would also aid in the prevention of wars between the Malagasy and smaller nations. This would redeem the nation and repair their reputation on the world stage after helping Dajiang in a war against the Malagasy.

Foreign Policy
Prussia has attempted to retain a rather neutral foreign policy. After being invited to the United Nations, it adopted more globalist ideals. These ideals would slowly fade, as the member states of the United Nations would slowly find themselves roped into more and more individual conflicts alone, while the security council refused to make any progress or change in their situations. This would ultimately lead to Prussia leaving the UN to forge better relations with countries that held similar interests, and those who would help serve the goals of Prussia.

Austria, and The German Bloc
After leaving the United Nations, the Prussian government sought to build better friendships with those on it's borders. It attempted to form two two alliances, only one of which would succeed. The first alliance it would attempt to form was the CEB, or the Central European Bloc. negotiations for the alliance began individually, and many nations did not see fit to join the Alliance despite numerous attempts to persuade the nations to join. The only one to accept the offer was The Holy State of Austria. After discussions with the Austrian diplomats, an official alliance of mutual defense was formed between the two nations. This alliance would be the only constant in Prussian foreign policy until the dissolution and sacking of Austria.

The Second Gunpowder War
After going on a very nice walk with the leader of Madagascar, the King had made good acquaintance with them. So, when Madagascar found itself in a conflict over a monopoly over the gunpowder business with several nations. the King of Prussia offered his help. Although an official alliance was not created, a plan was formulated for a pre-emptive strike on nations that were going to interfere on the side of the Tower Cult, and the Social Anarchy of Paraná, and a quick end to the war. The plan would ultimately succeed, but not without cost on both sides. Prussia would not gain any territorial changes in the Gunpowder War, but would form better friendships with Sicily and Madagascar because of it. However, this would leave salt in the wounds of the other side of the war, as they felt stabbed in the back by Prussia's entrance into the war.

The Dajiang-Malagasy war, and The Carthage-Prussia Spy Ring
Not long after the formalization of the alliance between The Prussians, Italians, and the Malagasy, Many in the Prussian state began to question if they were aligning themselves with the right people. The Malagasy would soon become become the subject of a series of controversies after the second gunpowder war. These controversies would tarnish their image further, as well as that of their allies. After the founding of the Abwehr, (The Military Intelligence Bureau) the chief of the Abwehr approached the ambassadors of multiple nations  who seemed to be the next targets of Malagasy conquests to help them by giving them military intelligence on the alliances plans battle plans. this proved to work on multiple occasions. none of the Abwehr's actions would come to light until after the Dajiang-Malagasy war. In which both the Prussians and Carthaginians set up extensive spy rings in the Malagasy and Italian forces. this assisted in the leaking of Malagasy positions and bombing targets to the Dajiang military. Which had the goal of quickly ending the war with the disillusion of Madagascar. This plan never came to fruition, as the Malagasy were banned from the server before any of the gathered intel would become useful. The help provided by the Carthaginians and the Abwehr to Dajiang would come to the public eyes after the war when the Emperor of Dajiang, Sikorskiii would make a statement thanking both nations for their help.

Occupation and The End of the First Reich
roughly two months after it's creation and after a war with Portugal, the Reichstag Ousted the King of Prussia and took full control of the government. This did not last long, as another conflict with the Portuguese would lead to an occupation of the country. the occupation of the country would last through March and half way through April. during which the country was subject to radical change as the Portuguese solidified a dictatorship in the government. Much of the Prussian culture was destroyed by the Portuguese occupiers. This was supposedly done to prevent anyone from seeing the country as anyone but the new occupiers'. at the beginning of April, the subjugated Prussia was brought into a coalition with France, and California. Soon after the Portuguese occupiers being banned from the server after being discovered as alt accounts of the infamous Sbeve. the country remained occupied by the Californians afterward, and would have it's wealth and resources stolen by the Californians before they would return it to the exiled government.
