The incorporation of Prussia into Brandenburg

---

After inheriting and ruling the Prussian duchy for a few generations the Hohenzollern officially incorporated the area into Brandenburg. However, the area was still formally in a state of vassalage under the Polish king and treading easily was advisable. Angering the Polish king could lead to war, but the savings for not having to pay taxes to Poland would be substantial.

The Sale of Indulgences

Joachim II Hector was compelled by his father, Joachim I Nestor, to sign an inheritance contract in which he promised to remain Roman Catholic. Joachim Nestor had co-financed his younger brother's, the Archbishop-Elector Albert of Mainz, elevation to the episcopal see of Halberstadt and accumulation of the sees of Magdeburg and Mainz by incurring huge debts with the banking house of Fugger in order to pay the Holy See. To pay off the debts, Joachim Nestor agreed to recover these costs from the population of his electorate by permitting the sale of indulgences.

Hohenzollern Rule of Brandenburg

---

When the Hohenzollerns acquired the March of Brandenburg in 1411 the state had a long history of being very loosely governed under Wittelsbach and Luxembourg overlords. Local nobility, clergy and the city councils have grown used to being left to their own devices. Robber barons and lawlessness are prevalent in many parts of the realm.

Our dynasty has had some success in curtailing the power of the Nobility and the Burghers, often turning their strongholds into rubble in the process. We are, however, still far from the undisputed masters of these lands. Recently even the clergy, common in all parts of our administration, seem to be working against us. If we are to avoid becoming just another temporary dynasty in this region we must strongly assert our authority and build a government apparatus that we can trust.

Financial Prerogatives of the Kreditwerk

---

In times of financial needs the [Root.Monarch.GetTitle]s of [Root.GetName] have traditionally been able to ask the estates of the realm for more money. This is often done through a financial institution known as the Kreditwerk which is controlled by the estate but guarantees the finances of the state.
A recent series of bad harvests and assorted domestic problems have strained the economy of both the [Root.Monarch.GetTitle] and the estates themselves as [Root.Monarch.GetName] turns to the Kreditwerk the Estates are weary of the [Root.Monarch.GetName]'s will to pay back what is owed. In order for them to give us better terms they will expect more far-reaching privileges and prerogatives.

The Fate of Neumark

id

The Fate of Neumark

---

Due to lack of funds and due to an unstable political situation our predecessors have seen fit to first pawn and then sell the lands of Neumark to the Teutonic order. The area was once claimed by settlers from Brandenburg, however, and the burghers of the province claim the Order is neglecting them.
The Teutons have already tried to pawn Neumark to the Polish King, but the Burghers of Neumark have rejected that solution. As long as order is duly compensated we have every reason to believe the Grand Master would accept if we offered to re-purchase the province.

id

The Fate of Neumark

---

While originally part of Brandenburg, the Margraves have in the past first pawned and then transferred Neumark to us in order to raise money. Distant and plagued by robber barons the province has generally been more trouble than it was worth for our order.
We have received an offer to pawn the province back to Brandenburg. Should we accept it seems unlikely that we will ever get Neumark back, still the Elector is willing to pay good money for it, and we could certainly make good use of those funds.

Disaster in Franconia

id

Dispositio Achillea

---

The description below is one of several available for this event.
The following description is used if the country is the senior partner in a personal union with Ansbach:

The Hohenzollern lands are now all in the hands of [Root.Monarch.GetName] but worried minds fear that they may be split and be divided once again in the future. Indeed the March of Brandenburg itself might be split among an overabundance of sons. It is clear that once strong lands such as Saxony or Thuringia have suffered hard from being parceled out to the many heirs of the principal title holders, something [Root.Monarch.GetName] would rather avoid. Indeed even at the Imperial court we have received worried warnings that we have not sufficiently protected our succession. An Electorate is expected to be indivisible.

If we are to protect the Brandenburg Electorate forever, however, we might well have to let go of the Franconian holdings of our dynasty in Ansbach to our younger sons.

The following description is used otherwise:

The Enlightened Reforms of Frederick the Great

---

After the end of the reign of Louis XIV in France and the following wars of the Spanish succession, the age of enlightenment slowly began to spread all over Europe by the words of writers and philosophers of the time such as Locke, Rousseau, Diderot, Hume, Leibniz and Montesquieu. The New Ideals included religious freedom, education, freedom of speech and political opinion. The monumental work that captured the essence of the enlightenment was Diderot's Encyclopedie, taking 25 years for its completion and in the end totaling a collection of no less then 35 volumes of 1000 pages each describing everything from how to knit a sock to methods of improving the manufacturing of artillery pieces. Of the monarchs of Europe none was a stronger believer of these ideas than the Prussian King, Friedrich II, also known as Frederick the Great.

Von Scharnhorst's and Von Stein's Reforms

---

After the humiliating defeat against Napoleon's armies and the harsh terms that followed in the peace, the need for drastic measures for Prussia to regain its former military and economic strength was obvious. A wide range of reforms implemented led to the abolishment of serfdom, privileges being revoked and an efficient decentralized government as well as compulsory military service. However this was not a sure thing as different segments of society wanted different types of reforms. It could have been quite differently.

Prutenic Tables

---

The astronomer Erasmus Reinhold was supported and financed by Albert I, Duke of Prussia, who also financed the printing of the Prutenic Tables. They were also called the Prussian Tables and were an ephemeris or astronomical tables. The astronomical tables were calculated by Reinhold and based on Nicolaus Copernicus' 'De revolutionibus orbium coelestium', the epochal exposition of Copernican heliocentrism published in 1543. Reinhold intended to replace the Alfonsine Tables with his Prutenic Tables and added redundant tables to his new tables so that compilers of almanacs familiar with the older Alfonsine Tables could perform all the steps in an analogous manner.

An Army with a State

---

While various ways to increase the standing army the country could support have been undertaken in the past they have not been sufficient for our needs. Now that our bureaucracy is advanced enough to support a more rigorous system [Root.Monarch.GetName] has drawn up a plan to reshape the old provincial militias and mercenaries entirely.
The country will be divided into cantons and each residing male will be expected to enroll in the army. Civilian involvement should remain limited, instead [Root.Monarch.GetName] intends for the military administrators of each regiment to be responsible for recruitment within a Canton.

The Prussian African Trade Company

---

As all major nations of this period, Friedrich Wilhelm also tried to duplicate the enormous success of the Dutch Veerinigte Oostindische Companie and tap into the richness it brought its investors and the Dutch economy from 'The New World'. However as most other duplication attempts, especially by countries with little tradition of Naval Power, it would ultimately fail to deliver anything but grief to its investors.

Berliner Unwille

---

Frederick II's desire and determination to build a residence on the island of Spree was met with Unwille (indignation) by the citizens of Berlin and in 1448 the indignation against the cession of the city's lands for an electoral stronghold culminated in open revolt. The citizens of Berlin flooded the excavation of the residence Stadtschloss but Frederick II prevailed and the palace was finally built, the city's rights decisively curtailed.

The Burghers of Königsberg

---

With all the reforms taking place in our great [Root.GovernmentName] these days there is bound to be some friction between the different ruling classes. The Burghers of Königsberg are currently particularly dissatisfied, strongly opposing the idea of only being allowed to convene their council at the leisure of [Root.Monarch.GetTitle] [Root.Monarch.GetName]. Led by an articulate and well supported alderman by the name of Hieronymus Roth the Burghers are now threatening to seek the aid of [some_neighbor_country.Monarch.GetTitle] [some_neighbor_country.Monarch.GetName] in [some_neighbor_country.Country.GetName], if we refuse to agree to their terms.

Without a Care

---

Over the centuries [Root.GovernmentName] has seen its share of war. However, it has also begun to experience an increase in the enlightened pursuit of the finer things in life, such as philosophy, art and music. Evidence of this is for instance found in our very own [Root.Monarch.GetTitle], often entertaining [Root.Monarch.GetHerHis] guests with music composed by [Root.Monarch.GetName] [Root.Monarch.GetHerselfHimself].
However, something is missing from [Root.Monarch.GetTitle]'s life as [Root.Monarch.GetSheHe] spends [Root.Monarch.GetHerHis] days in [Root.Capital.GetName], constantly surrounded by pomp and ceremony. A summer residence, sans souci, without a care, away from the busy city-life is what [Root.Monarch.GetName] desires and [Root.Monarch.GetSheHe] has already personally drawn up sketches for a modest one-story building, enveloped by a magnificent garden.

The social elite of [Root.Country.GetName] are, and will remain, very impressed by the royal addition to [potsdam_province.GetName].

The following description is used otherwise:

The visionary ruler who set out to build Sanssouci sadly never got to experience the finished palace. If they could see it now however, they would surely have enjoyed the many gatherings now taking place there. The great philosophers and artists of our age will often be invited to spend time at this sophisticated refuge and the magnificent gardens surrounding the palace are bound to stand as a beacon of enlightened pastime for centuries.''

The [Root.GetName] Recess

---

The [Root.GetAdjective] estates have watched with increasing concern as we have increased the size of our standing army and the administration required to keep it running. Traditionally the landed nobles and the burghers of our cities are the guarantors of our finances and they are very suspicious of our intentions going forward.
This situation will need to be resolved quickly and efficiently. Let us offer the diet a deal they can accept wholesale or face the very armies they fret about!
The nobles can retain some of their privileges and even receive our help to force their peasants to remain enserfed in these times of change. In return nobles and cities must surrender their traditional functions of revenue collection the state. [Root.GetName] will run its own finances from now on!

Canals to [berlin_province.GetCapitalName]

---

The heartlands of [Root.Country.GetName] have long suffered a structural disadvantage from not being connected to the waterways in the area. To remedy this we have arranged for a canal to be built between the Oder and the river Spree which runs through our capital of [berlin_province.GetCapitalName]. The trade and transport this could allow for would increase local revenue and prosperity in our land for many years to come and due to this the amount of money already invested is not insignificant. However, the task has proven more difficult than anticipated and the construction has now ground to a halt... The project is out of funds and the workers have put down their tools.

Confiscation of the Ruppiner Land

---

The death of Count Wichmann, the last of the Lindow-Ruppin line the Ruppiner lands have been reverted to the rule of the [Root.Monarch.Dynasty.GetName]s of Brandenburg. Though the region was considered part of wider Brandenburg the counts were immediate subjects of the empire. Many of the Ruppiner lands had been pawned of over the years but the extinction of the last prince means that we can now directly confiscate both the city of Neuruppin and many of the lands surrounding it.

Resurgence of the Robber-Barons

---

The Brandenburger lands are not the richest in Germany and for long periods of time law and order have been hard to come by. As a result many families have a tradition of lining their pockets in times of financial need by violent or coercive means.
Our countryside is plagued by Robber Barons from the less well-to-do noble families of the realm. They are a menace both to our authority and to the burghers of our already struggling merchant cities. If our state is to thrive here in 'the sandbox of Germany' we must restore order and these destructive traditions of the local nobility.

Berliner Religiongespräch

---

Numerous theologians and scholars have all gathered in Berlin for a once in a lifetime event. The topic is simple: reconciling the differences of Lutheran and Calvinist theology. We have long since been a bastion of religious freedom in the Empire, providing refuge to those targeted by the Inquisition. Despite this, tensions continue to rise as the people take sides in what has become a Protestant Schism, akin to the splitting of the Roman Church. Hopefully, with this conference there will be peace.

As religious tensions grow, it is [Root.GetName]'s job to stifle the ever-growing flame and weather the storm ahead.

Fate of the Kreditwerk

---

The debts of men and kings cannot go unfinanced. Before the time of pragmatism, simple solutions were key to the administration of nations, and the Kreditwerk is a remnant of such an era. By financing the Margraviate's debt through the estates, the [Root.Monarch.GetTitle] could continue to spend at extortionate interest rates. Perhaps the time has come to neuter this institution once and for all.

With the constant ebb and flow of the national money supply, monetary policy is typically bundled up with fiscal policy and left to the estates to manage. As such, the supply of coinage is rarely in a ruler's hands to begin with. With our recent emphasis on controlling the nation's money supply, it is time to choose the direction we intend to take this.

Reform of the Brandenburg Army

---

The Elector Friedrich Wilhelm (1640-1688), known as the Great Elector, had been one of the major winners of the Thirty Years War, increasing the size of his Prussian realm by nearly a third. His major achievement was to achieve the administrative unity and the setting up of a small professional army of 24,000 men. He also managed to get his country free of Polish lordship over Prussia, and to welcome 20,000 French Protestant refugees. On 28th June 1675, his army fought a tactical stalemate with the Swedes at the battle of Fehrbellin. The Swedes were unable to go on the offensive due to poor preparations, and thus lost the war. That Sweden was unable to carry the sword of Gustavus Adolphus had a striking resonance all over Europe and Prussia occupied Swedish Pomerania until 1679.

Frederick William's Absolutism

---

King Frederick William of Prussia endowed the Prussian state with its military and bureaucratic character. He was fanatically addicted to work and a firm autocrat. Frederick William reorganized the administrative system, raised the army to 80,000 men (equivalent to 4 percent of the population) and geared the whole organization of the state to the military machine. Prussia thus became a militaristic and absolutist state - the new great power of Northern Europe.

The Great Prussian Military Reform

---

Under its 2nd and 3rd Kings, Frederick William I and Frederick II (the Great), Prussia became a thoroughly militaristic state boasting the most efficient army in Europe. Without a doubt the great military reforms were an absolute necessity for an expansionist country so precariously positioned between vengeful neighbors.

University of Königsberg

---

Albert of Prussia, the last Grand Master of the Teutonic Knights, erected an academic gymnasium in 1542 on a piece of land behind Königsberg Cathedral on the Kneiphof island of the Pregel River from the Samland chapter. The University of Königsberg was inaugurated on August 17, 1544, after Albert of Prussia had issued the deed of foundation of the Collegium Albertinum on 20 July 1544. The University of Königsberg's first rector was the poet Georg Sabinus, son-in-law of Philipp Melanchthon and the two Lithuanian scholars Stanislovas Rapalionis and Abraomas Kulvietis were among the first professors of the university.

The Matter of Berlin

---

The twin cities of Berlin-Cölln have long served efficiently as the capital of the state of Brandenburg. The swampy and forested lands beneath and around the city is holding its growth back, as is the generally low population of the Brandenburger lands. As a state with ambitions we must overcome these problems as an ever-growing bureaucracy and court demands a larger and statelier royal residence.
If the city is to grow we must embark on a series of renovations, from greatly expanding the surrounding fortifications, to draining the swamps and planning new, efficient, suburbs outside the current limits of the city. This must be accompanied by a renovation of our royal residence to create a more fittingly impressive place of audience for foreign and internal dignitaries wishing to confer with our [Root.Monarch.GetTitle]s.

Unification of Berlin

---

Our extensive renovations of the twin cities of Berlin and Cölln have finally paid off. Swamps have been drained, fortifications built and a number of new well-connected suburbs have grown up around the city to house our administrators, court functionaries and the local industry needed to supply the luxury goods they require. So much has our city grown that it is no longer useful to speak of the cities of Berlin and Cölln, they have now merged to one which we will simply call Berlin.
Most impressive of all, however, are the palaces, churches, roads, bridges and gardens in and around our new capital. In a properly grand setting such as the Albastersaal visitors can now marvel at the glorious [Root.Monarch.Dynasty.GetName] family ancestry in the form of statues of our ancestors along with the major emperors of the Roman Empire.

The [Root.GetAdjective] Legal System

---

As our [Root.GovernmentName] has expanded and aged the complexity and extent of overlapping and often inconsistent legal practices has grown out of all control. Legal cases are decided by local, often privately employed, judges according to rules that differ so much from case to case that it is impossible to guarantee any form of legal certainty. Some courts are rendered impotent by a maze of feudal, imperial and traditional jurisdictions while others see judges make a fortune by corrupting the authority of our laws.
Nonetheless the education institutions of our state have produced a great number of legal minds and scholars. It is time we put them to use planning a new, uniform and consistent and well-regulated legal system for our state. Let us reform the [Root.GetAdjective] courts to ensure efficient handling of litigation, impartial judges paid for by the state and hired based on merit, a reduction of overlapping jurisdictions and a clear hierarchy of appeals.

Edict of Potsdam

For over a century now Europe has seen the effects of the Reformation and Counter-Reformation. As religious borders begin to solidify many Protestants or Reformed subjects of Catholic rulers find themselves on the run. With the revocation of edicts of tolerance hundreds of thousands seek a new home.

On War

---

‘Everything in war is very simple. But the simplest thing is difficult', [Root.Mil_Advisor.GetName] says solemnly during a council meeting. 'That is profound!', our [Root.Monarch.GetTitle] exclaims, to which our military advisor reddens and admits to having stolen the phrase from a philosophical young man who has been rising through the ranks of our army over the past few years. In addition to being an experienced commander, this person is apparently making something of a name for himself even in the higher circles of society. He is also described as spending a lot of his time contemplating and discussing the moral aspects of war. Some say that given enough time he is likely to publish a book on the subject... Perhaps he could be of use to us?

Immanuel Kant

---

Kant was the foremost thinker of the Enlightenment and one of the greatest philosophers of all time. In him were subsumed new trends that had begun with the Rationalism (stressing reason) of Rene Descartes and the Empiricism (stressing experience) of Francis Bacon. He thus inaugurated a new era in the development of philosophical thought.

Leonhard Thurneysser

---

While seeking a cure for his ailing wife, Elector John George of Brandenburg met Leonhard Thurneysser, a metallurgist and pharmaceutical doctor, who successfully cured his wife from her ailment. Grateful, the Elector appointed Thurneysser his personal doctor and took him to Berlin at a salary of 1352 Taler. The former Franciscan monastery was made available to Thurneysser and he led the construction of a glass studio at Grimnitz Castle. Thurneysser had served the Medical Professor John Huber as Famulus, helped to gather and prepare herbs and medicines. While he worked with Huber, Thurneysser had access to the writings of Paracelsus, which impressed him deeply. Thurneysser sold medicine of his own creation, astrological calendars, horoscopes and talismans for protection against evil and became very wealthy. His print shop produced writings in various scripts, including German, Latin, Greek, Hebrew and Arabic.

A man of Law and Integrity

---

A state like ours has an insatiable hunger for good administrators, jurists and scholars. The legal system in particular needs to not only be maintained but also at times reformed, expanded or repurposed. In times such as those it is great to have access to men of talent. In Samuel von Cocceji we believe that we have sound such a man. Active as a professor of law and a judge since his early 20s von Cocceji has the integrity and character to stand up to anyone, [Root.Monarch.GetName] included, for a strong, fair and righteous legal apparatus.

Moses Mendelssohn

---

The multi-lingual Jewish scholar and philosopher Moses Mendelssohn is of humble origin. Originally intended to become a rabbi, his religious education, however, led him to [berlin_province.GetCapitalName], where he has instead risen to become a published author, highly regarded among Christians and Jews alike. His writings and publications, which are made in both German and Hebrew, along with the open discussions taking place even in his own home, are paving the way for tolerance between people on a scale unseen in [Root.Country.GetName] before.

Johannes Agricola

---

Originally one of Martin Luther's theological closer allies, Johannes Agricola has had a bitter falling out with the great reformer. Agricola's stance in whether Mosaic Law applies to Christians is directly opposite of Luther's and the reformer is now in search of a new base from which to work and propagate. His insistence on the Gospels alone as the source for Christian conduct as well as having been seen to be favorable to a settlement with the Catholics has also made Agricola ill-regarded by the more radical reformers. His theological views would make him an excellent superintendent for the newly formed Brandenburg church, however, and a good court preacher of the [Root.Monarch.Dynasty.GetName]'s.
