They wouldn't let me keep the name "Prussia", so when the Allies split the Empire, France, England, and America decided to let Germany do his own thing. The western regions stayed with him and they did their little "supervision" thing.

I ended up on the opposite site of thing, with Russia and his new allies, the eastern portion of Europe. Poland, Hungary, the Baltic brothers and the Balkans... it was pretty rough. Fucking hate the cold and winters because of it, though. And Russia was nuts. You remember what the Bolsheviks did. Drove Russia insane. So. Best I could do was go the route I did when Poland and Lithuania knocked me out things after the Thorn Treaties--you remember? Figured I'd bide my time.
