The Kingdom of Prussia is a German survivor nation located in northern Germany along the coast of the Baltic Sea. A major player in north-central Europe, Prussia stands as one of the most stable and militarily powerful states in the region.

History[]

Doomsday and World War III[]

Due to its unique circumstances being split between Allied and Soviet forces, Berlin managed to survive better than most major cities. During World War III, both the Soviet and Allied leadership believed the city could be captured, and with significant resources invested by both sides, it was not struck by nukes.

Other Surviving Cities[]

Aside from Berlin, a handful of other East German cities, towns and military installations came out of Doomsday relatively unscathed. The majority of these would later form the core of the Prussian state.

  • Altenburg (city proper; AFB was wiped out)
  • Bautzen
  • Cottbus (same as Altenburg, but for Cottbus-Drewitz AFB)
  • Dessau (largest surviving city outside of Berlin)
  • Erfurt (survival in doubt)
  • Frankfurt an der Oder
  • Görlitz
  • Greifswald
  • Halle/Halle-Neustadt (warhead exploded approx. 5 km to the east of the old city)
  • Neubrandenburg
  • Parchim (same as Altenburg, but for Parchim AFB)
  • Plauen
  • Potsdam
  • Stendal (Soviet Army Base)
  • Stralsund
  • Suhl
  • Templin (same as Altenburg, but for Groß Dölln)
  • Wismar
  • Wolgast
  • Wünsdorf (Soviet Army Base; only other major military installation of note to have survived)

The Aftermath[]

By the time the situation was fully realized, the leadership of the Soviets and the Allies had been destroyed and a nuclear attack could not be authorized for the city. With East German military leadership crippled by strikes on Moscow and Strausberg, East Berlin soon fell into chaos. After several days of rioting and fighting in the streets between citizens and Soviet/East German troops, the citizens eventually gained the upper hand and the troops surrendered. Before the the imprisoned Soviet troops could be executed, the allied forces in West Berlin intervened with the Berlin Wall border stations unmanned. Knowing the coming situation would require as many trained troops as possible, many of the East German and Soviet troops were distributed amongst allied units.

Christian-Sigismund, member of the former royal family of Prussia and last surviving heir of the house of Hohenzollern, after fallout in Potsdam killed his father Louis Ferdinand and nephew Georg Friedrich, was imprisoned in East Berlin at the time. Although reasons for this remain unknown, it was likely due to his heritage and high status. He became a rallying figure for many of the German people, a symbol of their old greatness before Nazism destroyed the country, and was forced into a leadership role he likely would rather not have had. He was instrumental in unifying the people of East and West Berlin in the days afterward and organizing civilian salvage teams for food and resources.

Refugee Crisis[]

Within a week of Doomsday refugees started arriving in Berlin from all over the countryside straining the resources of the city and spreading the soldiers thin in their abilities to keep order. On December 2, 1983 it was decided that the troops were insufficient to keep order and much of East Berlin had to be abandoned. Gathering any fuel they could find, the Berlin troops withdrew into West Berlin and sealed the gates. Using helicopters the troops were able to send out supply salvage missions outside the city in order to supply the populace with heavy rationing, but staying within the walls indefinitely was not an option. The allied and soviet troops under orders from Christian and the West Berlin city council began to train conscripts from the people, as well as establishing rooftop gardens and greenhouses to supplement food supply from salvage missions. In spring of 1984 conscripted troops and professional soldiers began missions into East Berlin to establish order. Missions were also sent by helicopter to outlying regions to create farming enclaves to augment food production. Fuel was in short supply so supply trips were not frequent and were lightly manned in order to allow for heavier loads. By mid 1986 conditions within East Berlin were stable enough to allow for truck convoys for supply runs, drastically improving the situation in the city, and by 1989 most of the city was under West Berlin control.

Consolidation[]

Despite the attitudes of the West Berlin people, the economic climate of the region made a capitalist economy unrealistic. Currencies were unstable, there were no labor laws to speak of, and the survivalist atmosphere made capitalist ventures much too cutthroat to be of any value to the society. Christian Sigismund, with his years living under communist rule decided that a socialist economy was the only way to survive. A more stable provisional civilian government was established with Christian at the head, and various bodies were established to oversee various industries and projects in order to create a stable and self-sufficient economy. Troops were sent beyond the borders of the city to solidify control over the rural areas in order to stabilize food production and raw material extraction. By mid 1991 things were well on their way to relative stability, and pressure from the West Berlin people to re-establish a democratic government began to intensify. In June 1992, Christian's leadership council enacted plans for the drafting of a new constitution.

Rebirth of a Nation[]

The attitudes toward a unified German nation were soured by its history of war and atrocities, so the idea of Germany was abandoned for the new nation, but inspired by Christian's royal heritage and the greatness of old Prussia, it was decided to raise the flag of Prussia again. In November 1992, after months of deliberation and negotiation, a new constitution was drafted for the new Kingdom of Prussia. In honor of his service to the people of Berlin, Christian-Sigismund was restored to the throne of Prussia as Christian I. The role of monarch was limited by the constitution, but instead of the figurehead most monarchs were in a constitutional monarchy, the Prussian constitution recognized the leadership role a monarch could have. Though the true power was in the hands of parliament, the monarch had much influence in national direction and foreign policy. In his first speech as King, Christian indicated that he would work with the elected leaders in order to unite the lawless north German lands as well as reclaim those lost to Poland at the end of World War II.

The years after were mostly spent making good on his first promise of uniting the lawless lands of northern Germany. With nuclear strikes over much of West and South Germany, Christian focused his efforts on expanding toward the Baltic coast and establishing a port for fishing and trade with other surviving lands. With Rostock destroyed, eastern expansion along the coast was limited, but since most of the cost between there and Poland was rural, other than Dranske and Peenemünde most of the coast survived. By 2002 Prussia controlled the lands of East Germany to Rathenow in the East, Potsdam in the south, and from Zingst to the Polish border along the northern coast. Around this time contact was established with a provisional Soviet Polish government in Poznan, the only major Polish city to survive. In 2004 contact was established with the Nordic Union. This first contact with a surviving allied nation gave a large boost to Prussian morale. In 2005 Christian decided that Prussian control over northern Germany was sufficient to support the population and economy and it was time to make good on his second promise to regain territory stolen after World War II.

On March 21, 2006, Christian I declared war on Poland. The Polish government was caught completely off guard, and with most of their army devoted to keeping order, they were no match for the much larger professional army of Prussia. Within two weeks Prussian troops occupied Poznan and the Treaty of Poznan was signed, ceding Polish Pomerania and some other territory east of the Polish border. As a response to the Soviet resettlement of Pomerania following WWII, Christian declared that all resident Poles in the new Prussian lands were to leave to make way for German settlers. The names of each city and town reverted to their German counterparts. Kołobrzeg (German: Kolberg), which managed to escape destruction being a minor target and Allied leadership was destroyed before bombs could be authorized, was designated the capital of the region, as a symbol of the new glory of Prussia, and was deemed the target of a new major Prussian port. Prussian leadership set in to enjoy an expected period of peace and prosperity.

Aftermath[]

The expected peace didn't last long, as taking land was not the same as keeping it. While the German lands within Prussian control were somewhat peaceful despite the chaos of the refugees coming in from across former Germany, the newly acquired Pomerania was a hotbed of unrest, stemming from native Poles resentment at their expulsion. While the Prussian military was able to take on the disorganized Polish military with some ease, the citizens of Pomerania outnumbered the forces left to facilitate the expulsion and resettlement. Riots were commonplace and while most Poles eventually left, the few that remained formed organized resistance groups who harried the Prussian forces. In August 2006, martial law was declared and any members of organized resistance groups were to be shot on sight. This order was controversial as there was no way to tell an ordinary citizen from a resistance fighter on sight. This led to many civilian deaths and Christian's lowest approval since becoming King.

The news that Prussia had forcibly taken Polish lands came as a shock to the Danish people of the Nordic Union. Virtually overnight Denmark went from having good relations to becoming very hostile toward the country. Fearing Prussia might eventually try and move into the historically German region of Northern Schleswig, Denmark put up a large border wall and cut off all relations with the country. Danish politicians issued one last joint statement to Prussia, condemning the expulsion of the Poles as "a blunt act of Neo-Nazism that will not go unpunished".

In late 2008, the situation had gotten increasingly worse. Troop and settler morale was extremely low from bombings and raids on supply trucks and military outposts. Any attempts to crack down only resulted in increased resistance. Parliament called an emergency session and the expulsion order was revoked, the native Poles were allowed to return to their homes if they had not already been taken by refugees settling the area. If proof could be provided, other accommodations and resettlement would be provided. By August 2009, a level of order had been restored to the region. Those Poles who returned were to be offered equal rights and privileges as Germans, and a general amnesty for resistance acts, on the condition that they renounce their former citizenship.

A dual language policy was established in Polish Pomerania, establishing both German and Polish as official languages, and making German education mandatory to encourage a German speaking populace for future generations.

In October 2009, King Christian traveled to Denmark  in order to smooth relations with their neighbor to the north and hopefully re-establish diplomatic ties. He attempted to reassure Danish leaders that the Schleswig situation was unrelated to Pomerania, as Northern Schleswig joined Denmark willingly and is still far from Prussian control, while Pomerania was forcefully taken from the German people and within the Prussian sphere of influence. He publicly apologized for the Expulsion order, describing it as a "mistake born of old grudges". He officially renounced any claim in Denmark, and German lands in Poland and reinforced that Prussia's expansion would only continue in lands within the East and West German borders, laying out an official land claim. Danish leaders appreciated the gesture, and assured the Prussian King that the would officially recognize Prussia and cordial relations could be maintained if Prussia returns Pomerania to Poland, as they believed that although Pomerania was once German, it was a legal treaty that ceded it. King Christian saw this as an insult. That he came with good intentions, made nothing but concessions, and the response was a polite demand for more. On returning to Prussia he addressed the nation saying "I am sad to report the mission to Denmark has failed, as the greed of the Danish people is astounding." The people and government saw Christian's reaction as overly emotional, having not even attempted negotiations.

In the years afterward efforts were focused on restoring the cities ruined by the Polish-Prussian war, spreading German culture to Pomerania, fostering economic growth, and rebuilding the armed forces.

Diplomatic Expeditions[]

Although the Kingdom became cut off from the Nordic Union, the ambassadors, obtained enough information to provide the King with a rudimentary overview of the state of affairs in Northern Europe; reports were filtered here on the existence of Friesland and the Celtic Alliance. The very mention of states beyond their immediate neighbors at least gave Prussians a sense that the world is not entirely a wasteland. In 3 April 1994, the first Diplomatic Expedition - high security envoys - left Berlin for the Southwest. Under periodic radio contact, the Expedition followed the old highways (whenever possible) toward Bavaria (Southern Germany); avoiding conflict with any of the warlords.

Upon arriving in Bavaria, however, the Prussians were dismayed to find the region in a chaotic, decaying state; Munich was also found to be targeted during Doomsday. On 13 July 1994, while surveying the old German border, it encountered a small outpost full of refugees. The soldiers who controlled it bore peculiar insignias and spoke with plainly Swiss and Austrian accents; the Expedition had arrived at the frontier of the Alpine Confederation. Throughout the "Alpine tour," the Prussians sent radio transmissions back to Berlin relaying their discovery. In a statewide address on 25 July, King Christian announced (translated from German):

Our brave ambassadors have made contact. Civilization, they say, thrives even now in the Alps and breathes in Innsbruck's ancient streets. Our friends and relatives are indeed alive.

Encouraged by this discovery, further Expeditions were sent Westward toward Friesland and Lower Saxony; from 2004 to 2008. Their findings showed that much of former West Germany was in a similar condition to Bavaria, although larger enclaves of civilized settlements have survived. These enclaves were primarily city-states and fortified hamlets; under either warlords, desperate survivors, or remnants of the Bonn government. The exception, however, came in the form of the Republic of North Germany, with whom contact was made in 2006. The Netherlands outside of Friesland and a smattering of inland settlements was considerably worse, with reports describing it as "Hell." The last Prussian expedition in 2008 was successful in reaching Luxembourg which had taken over some small German territory on its borders. Relations between the two countries proved friendly however, and Prussia dropped any claims on the now Luxembourgish lands.

Government[]

The Government of Prussia is a semi-constitutional monarchy. The monarch acts as both Head of State, and Head of Government, holding a decent degree of power over the Prussian state, akin to the Thai or Gulf State monarchies. If the need arises, the monarch can ignore the advice of his Privy Council, the incumbent Cabinet, and the Reichstag, ruling as a dictator with the Armed Forces at their beck and call. These powers can be directly traced back to the powerful East German position of General-Secretary, but unlike the communist despots of decades past, the monarch rarely uses them, as the public backlash may lead to their downfall.

The monarch is advised in their capacity as Head of Government by the Chancellor, who is the leader of the majority party in House of Representatives. In the House of Representatives, also known as the Reichstag, the monarch acts as the Speaker of the House, breaking ties in votes, mediating debates, and announcing results. The monarch may make Royal Decrees, outlining specific policy or government actions, but these decrees cannot contradict constitutional statutes or create law. Germans and Poles from their respective regions are properly given representation. In other respects, the Government as a whole mirrors and improves on the old pre-WWI institutions, while also having some 'necessary evils' leftover from the DDR.

That being said, however, there is a deliberate effort on behalf of the authorities and the public at large to marginalize "certain political malcontents" (anarchist, communist and national-socialist groups, along with their sympathizers) which are targeted on a routine basis. There is a clear backlash against both the legacy of the World Wars and ideologies that spawned from their aftermath.

Unfortunately, this backlash also extends to moderate parties that are left-of-center. Attempts by labour organisers to form a successor to the Western SPD have constantly fallen flat on their face, thanks to either infighting with more radical elements, and pressure from the LDP's corporatist wing. Aside from the internal issues and outside meddling, there are plenty of those that remember the East German SPD's 'betrayal' in 1946, when were forced to fuse with the old communist party, making them complicit in the crimes that were committed by the old regime.

Most of Prussia's political parties are descended from the old East German 'National Front', in which the ruling SED held an alliance with a number of smaller, non-socialist parties. All of the above-mentioned parties survived Doomsday, with the exception of the SED, which was swiftly banned after the re-establishment of the Prussian state.

The dominant political parties as of 2020 are the following:

  • Christian Democratic Union - The current ruling party. A socially conservative and economically centrist party devoted to Christian values. The party is staunchly traditionalist and pro-monarchy. They also support market activity, but only to a point, believing that the state must intervene when the citizenry gets a raw deal from the private sector. The CDU's voting base come from lower and middle class conservatives living in regional centers. A minor faction of the CDU are the so-called 'born again' East Berliners, who readily fuse left-wing ideals with their newfound faith, espousing a Protestant form of liberation theology.
  • Liberal-Democratic Party - A socially and economically liberal party devoted to free markets and personal freedom, claiming ideological descent from thinkers like Frederick von Hayek and Ludwig von Mises. Often rules in coalition with the CDU, shutting out any non-capitalist opposition. A large number of Western-born members want to return to a republican form of government. The LDP's voting base comes from both regional small business owners and the Berlin-based 'nouveau-riche'.
  • Democratic Farmers' Party - A mix of agrarian socialists and market protectionists. Has staunch support in the Prussian 'wheatbelt', located in the country's northern and westernmost Bezirkes. It is arguably the furthest left party to exist in modern Prussia.
  • Greater Germany Coalition - A minor, hardline traditionalist party devoted to the re-establishment of a unified German nation encompassing the former German lands. Despite its name and ideological aims, they explicitly disavow Nazism given that it embraced the idea of Großdeutschland and sought to exterminate or enslave almost all West Slavs during World War II.
  • Polish National Sovereignty Party - A party making great gains in the region of Pomerania. Claiming direct descent from the Weimar-era organisation 'Union of Poles in Germany', the PNSP is a socially and economically liberal party devoted to Polish interests on the national level. A minor faction of the party favors secession from Prussia and unification with an East Polish-based government. Occasionally rules in coalition with the LDP in the Polish-majority Bezirkes.
  • Lusatian Alliance - A minority rights party with Catholic conservative elements, primarily made up of ethnic Sorbs (aka 'Lusatians'), who want to establish their own autonomous Bezirke, based out of Cottbus.

A unique feature of the Prussian Reichstag is the allowance of so-called 'non-partisan organizations' (formerly known as 'mass organizations') to sit in guaranteed seats in the lower house. In theory, this allows for large swathes of society that don't fit along the explicit left-right paradigm to have a voice in the government. In practice, however, this has allowed certain partisan lobbying groups to have an inordinate amount of power over parliamentary proceedings.

Some of these groups are direct descendants of their East German 'mass organizations', but have since been sufficiently 'de-socialised' and are allowed to operate under strict oversight from the Office for the Protection of the Constitution.

  • Federation of Prussian Trade Unions - The closest thing that Prussia has to an explicitly left-leaning political 'party'. They often jostle with the LDP's more doctrinaire wing over the status of worker's rights, forcing them to compromise (albeit begrudgingly) on issues such as strike action, hours, and wages. Most of them vote for the CDU, but break ranks along ideological lines.
  • Veterans League - A group that fights for adequate pay and care for veterans of the Armed Forces. Has ties to the CDU.
  • Peasants Mutual Aid Association - A rural interests organization that's in league with the DFP, pushing for co-operatives and sharecropping to be the norm amongst the majority of Prussia's private, family-owned farming sector.
  • Democratic Women's League - A women's rights organization that pushes for more social and economic equality. Most supporters tend to be 'politically homeless' progressives and social liberals, primarily in West Berlin and leftist enclaves in East Berlin.
  • Domowina ('Homeland'; formerly the 'League of the Lusatian Sorbs') - The primary backers of Lusatian Alliance. Has ties to the local Catholic hierarchy.
  • Alliance '92 - An alliance between the remnants of the old West German Green Party and a smattering of leftist, (allegedly) anti-communist groups that are dedicated to the advancement of human rights, green politics, and other pre-war progressive causes. Its support base is varied and extremely diverse: ranging from aging hippies to young, anti-conscription West Berliners, Eastern anarchists, Christian pacifists, and gay rights activists.

Military[]

The Prussian military is made up mostly of conscripts, though each soldier goes through a longer, more intensive training regime than a standard conscript army that makes them nearly equal to a regular volunteer soldier. While Prussia maintains an Army, Navy, and Air Force, the Navy and Air Force are both severely under-equipped and under-trained due to the lack of experienced men in the fields, as well as facilities for the creation of new military hardware. The army on the other hand is decently equipped having access to most of the Allied and East German pre-DD equipment stationed in Berlin. There are approximately 100,000 soldiers spread amongst the three arms of the Prussian military. In September of 2011 the Reichstag passed a bill to convert from a conscript army to a volunteer army with incentives, alongside a program of a year of compulsory military service upon reaching 18 years of age. This comes into effect June 1st 2012. In addition, an agreement was made with the Alpine Confederation to bring experienced officers to drill Prussian troops.

Economy[]

Prussia's main industry is agriculture, and due to its history beginning as a besieged city, it is a world leader in urban agriculture techniques. The rooftop gardens of Berlin have become something of a tourist attraction in recent years. The manufacturing industry began to rebuild in the early 90s and is currently a major employer. The only major Prussian exports are motorcycles and rigid airships. The BMW plant in Berlin is one of the worlds top producers of quality motorcycles, and due to a lack of imports or major automotive manufacturers, BMW motorcycles have become the major transportation option for Prussian commuters. The New Zeppelin Company produces hydrogen airships based on the design of the Graf Zeppelin for export and is one of the world's most famous airship companies. The Berlin region has begun to rebuild its research and development sector and hopes to resume its role as a major world player in R&D in the future.

The old Palace of the Republic is now divided into a multi-purpose facility, hosting shopping mall, a museum dedicated to the victims of pre-war authoritarianism, and a community center.

Demographics[]

At the time of Doomsday, the East German population stood at about 16.7 million, with the majority found in either East Berlin or the industrial hubs in Saxony.

The population of Prussia currently stands at around x million, the majority of which are ethnic Germans. Major minority populations include the descendants of Vietnamese (x thousand) and Mozambican (x thousand) vertragsarbeiter, most of which are concentrated in and around the cities of Berlin and Halle-Neustadt. A large - but mostly male - Russian community also exists, having descended from Red Army officers and Soviet bureaucrats that managed to survive the lynchings and destruction of military bases.


Current Situation[]

Prussia is relatively isolated from much of Europe, with a "barrier" of lawless regions and wasteland separating it from the Nordic Union (north) and the Alpine Confederation (south). Although it has maintained a sense of "detached neutrality" from foreign affairs, cordial (but tentative) ties are present with the Alpine Confederation. Since the abdication of King Christian I in early 2011 and the ascension of King Georg I, relations with surrounding nations have improved dramatically. Georg made it his mission to bring Prussia back to the world stage and has brokered border agreements with North Germany and Northeim, and brought about Nordic recognition of the Prussian Kingdom.

Since contact was made with North Germany and German Southwest Africa, the Großdeutschland Coalition has increasingly become vocal in supporting plans for a unified national bloc.

The Kingdom takes pride in itself as one of the last centers of German culture and civilization; outside the Alpine Confederation. German, both Standard and Prussian dialects, is the lingua franca, although some are bilingual with Polish; especially in Pomerania. Significant artifacts, documents and artworks - spared from both Doomsday and the post-collapse chaos -  are held to be preserved in the rebuilt museums of Berlin. Utilizing surviving city plans, old photographs and (occasional) design revisions, whole towns and cities have been rebuilt as seen fit. Prussian expeditions have made inroads in Central and Western Germany, aiding and spreading influence among the survivor communities there; several warlord factions are claimed to have been destroyed in these activities. Since the ascension of King Georg I and the normalising of relations with West Poland, North Germany, and the Nordic Union, more resources have been put into restoring order and establishing Prussian hegemony to the unclaimed lands of northeastern Germany.

Foreign Relations[]

Prussia currently enjoys normal diplomatic relations with most nearby nations following a diplomatic offensive by King Georg I. Embassies have been established in the Nordic Union, North Germany, Northeim, Weimar, West Poland, East Poland, Belarus, Novgorod, and the Alpine Confederation. Much tension remains - in particular, the Nordic Union and by extension its allies continue to insist that Prussia relinquish eastern Pomerania - but the establishment of these embassies was undoubtedly a positive step for the kingdom.

83DD-TreatyofWolfsburg

Map of territory recognized by the Treaty of Wolfsburg

In early 2012 Prussia, Northeim, Weimar and Saxony signed the Treaty of Wolfsburg, a treaty of mutual defense and trade that also established official borders between the four states. The four Wolfsburg nations are currently working to establish safe and maintained infrastructure between the nations to facilitate better trade and travel.

Attempts at establishing normal relations with Waldeck-Hesse were disrupted when senior diplomats saw the Landgrave's refusal to recognize Georg I's legitimate claim to the throne of Germany, despite his recognition of pretty much every other title of nobility, as an insult to the King. King Georg publicly denied taking offense, but nonetheless, relations remain cool.

As of 2011, it is not a member of the League of Nations, but an application is pending following the Nordic Union's statement that it would no longer block membership.

Sport[]

Association football is, as it was pre-Doomsday, the most popular sport. The 1. Bundesliga, established in 1996, is the top flight in the Prussian football pyramid. Hertha Berlin is considered the top club. Other top clubs include Dynamo Berlin, Hertha BSC Berlin, Union Berlin, FC Neu-Königsberg and SV Babelsberg 03.

Prussia is a member of FIFA since 1990s.

Basketball, cycling and tennis also are popular sports in Prussia.
