Prussonationalism (Crown of Anjou and Jerusalem)

Introduction - Ideology[]

Prussonationalism, or Prussian ethnognosticism, is an ultranationalist, identitarian and Anti-Catholic political and social theory, rooted in Ariosophy, developed around the middle of the 19th to the early 20th century by various philosophers, scholars and archeologists, who founded the Χ society (Civitas X) with the intent and purpose of influencing public perception and governmental opinion on the truth about the Prussian identity, as well as its affiliation to the rest of the Germanic race.The Prussian nationalists adopted a more esoteric racial theory concerning the nature of the Prussian culture, which evidently is just a subsidiary subculture of the broader German cultures of Central and Eastern Europe- However, the Prussonationalists foresaw a revivalist vision, which revolved around the idea that the Prussians were in fact- not the same as the rest of the 'weak' Germans, who had for so long been tossed around and ruled by the Austrian Catholics, and since ancient times- been subjects to the Romans and their substitutes, these Germans to them were nothing but domesticated, docile and subordinate versions of the True German race, or the Aryan Race.

This was the ideology that the Prussian state- which had been for decades stagnant and irrelevant on the European stage, due to its weakness both economically and geopolitically, needed to boost legitimacy and provide a sense of Real Identity, purpose and duty.The Prussian nobility were heavily opposed to the idea of Civitas X or similar paramilitary groups ruling the country, but flirted with their Prussianist revival theories anyway.By the dawn of the 20th century, Prussia viewed itself not as a German country- But more as a mixture of a Balto-Scandian one..Re-enforcing the idea that Prussia must be an independent nation, separate from the HRE.

Legacy[]

Even though Prussia was defeated- during the Great war the master minds behind the ideology that built the country's pseudo realist image shattered before their very eyes, but despite the falseness and racism, the Prussian nationalists managed to secure a legacy, one which would outlast Prussia itself.

As the Great war ended, and peace talks begun, the HRE, the main beneficiary of Prussia's downfall, would not seek to outright annex the entire country, despite calls from German nationalists, the Kaiser refused to absorb lands past Pommerania, stating that 'they weren't ready for integration'.During the foundation of the European compact, the client state of Prussia (set up by the German government as a buffer reconstruction zone) found prominence again- As the Polish claims intensified, Germany utilized Prussonationalism and the scars of the Great war to beat Poland's claims on Danzig and Allenstein (Warmia).Thus Prussia became the newest, yet smaller- Baltic country on the shores of Eastern Europe, having paved a new path through national opportunism and localist appeal, Prussia remains to this day, not a German-But Prussian country.
