DBAHC wank Prussia

The last remnant of the Teutonic knights was a duchy called "Prussia" that was subservient to Poland. What is the most ridiculous wank, without getting into ASB territory, that you could do with the duchy?

Note they may have to unite with some other principality, but keep it from being so lopsided that the ruling dynasty still identifies as "Prussia".
 
I think there was supposedly some point when Poland and Brandenburg were one potential death away from having the same heir or something; for whatever that does for you.
 
I mean, best case scenario they unite Germania, although they’re on the fringe so it’s unlikely compared to say, Saxony. Expanding into Poland and the Baltic is definitely more interesting, IMO- the Teutons had a history of harassing them, so I could see their descendants try to go further.
 
Must it be that Prussia? The original Prussia was a pagan slavic kingdom in the 8th century or so, maybe wank them instead.

Unite Germania? Now that's ASB.

Yeah, you'd have to massively screw both France and the Jagiellonian Empire for it to have a chance. Maybe somehow prevent the Jagiellonian lands from unifying, perhaps due to an inconvenient death in battle?

Even then Austria liked her Germanies all divided and weak.
 
How about an Austrian-led Germany, with German influenced Prussia being seen as a separate country? Just like how Baden Baden is considered a separate country IOTL.
 
Huh, that's kind of like asking for Scotland to be a great power (similar to the role of the Scots in Great Britain, the Prussians, along with the Lipka Tartars and Jewish Coassacks, provide a disproportionately large part of the Commonwealth's military).

Perhaps Prussia becomes a naval power and controls the Baltics (though the animosity between the Order and the Lizard Union, which we still see today in the Ducal tensions between the Junkers and the maritime urban patricians (or their descendants, more accurately), would probably collapse such a thalassocracy pretty quickly).
 
Prussian dominated Germany??? Really? That is like Corsican dominated France. Duchy of Prussia was not even part of HRE and lacked land connection with the rest of Germany.

Crazy, isn't it? It's like Piedmont uniting Italy in that one ASB TL.

Not to mention that modern Prussian isn't even considered a real German language by other Germans (including Bohemian and Danubian Germans)!

Kind of reminds me of Acadia, Acadian needs to be subtitled if you broadcast an Acadian speaker on French or even Quebecois TV, but it's obviously not anything approximately approaching the English spoken in the rest of America.
