    The Nazis had made anything German-related something of a four-letter word in the region though, so it's understandable if not exactly acceptable.

    Do not forget that a significant part of Prussia is actually Russian today, including the old and quite important city of Königsberg (Kaliningrad now). It is that little enclave between Lithuania and Poland.

    It is actually a quite interesting case you know, as all non-EU citizens need a visa to enter the EU, but that forces the Kaliningraders (or what you would call them) to get a visa to enter Russia proper, unless they fly or sail.

    In time it simply can't sustain that I think, and it might splinter off completely.

    And we all know how well Russia deals with that idea these days, don't we ?

    .
    Just to add some flavour (and shameless self plug ) here is the list of rulers of Brandenburg and Preussen within a certain time period, collected and compiled for a dead mod project for a non-TW game:

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    Elector-Princes ("Kurnfürsten") of Brandenburg

    • Johann Cicero, (1486 - 1499)
    • Joachim I Nestor, (1499 - 1535)
    • Joachim II Hector, (1535 - 1571)
    • Johann Georg, (1571 - 1598)
    • Joachim Friedrich, (1598 - 1608)
    • Johann Sigismund, (1608 - 1619)
    • Georg Wilhelm, (1619 - 1640)
    • Friedrich Wilhelm "Der Großer Kurnfürst" (The Great Elector), (1640 - 1688)
    • Friedrich III, (1688 - 1701) = Friedrich I, King of Prussia


    Kings of Prussia (Preußen)

    • Friedrich I, (1701 - 1713)
    • Friedrich Wihelm I "der Soldatenkönig", (the Soldier King), (1713 - 1740)
    • Friedrich II "der Große" (the Great), (1740 - 1786)
    • Friedrich Wilhelm II, (1786 - 1797)
    • Friedrich Wilhelm III, (1797 - 1840)
    • Friedrich Wilhelm IV, (1840 - 1861)
    • Wilhelm I, (1861 - 1871) = Emperor Wilhelm I


    German Emperors ("Käiser")

    • Wilhelm I, (1871 - 1888)
    • Friedrich III, (1888)
    • Wilhelm II, (1888 - 1918)


    There's a long semi-complete list for several states in need of minor corrections and a few updates here.

    Mouz:

    During the reign of Henry VIII the lordship of Ireland became a kingdom.
    Its monarchy then followed that of England until the twentieth century.
    In 1800 (maybe 1801) the Kingdom of Ireland became part of the United Kingdom.

    Thought you may like to know for your list.

    Yep, that shuld be added. Some lists concerning coastal Indian Ocean reigns are to be added. I asked the forum admin to move it over my board there so that I can edit/update it.

    Thanks!
