The Free Order of Beloprussia, often simply called Beloprussia, is a quasi-independent state located in northwestern Keltia, north of Red Lake and northeast of Liberty.
History
Beloprussia began during the era of the United Soviet States of Col as a neighboring state first established as the Bundesrepublik Beloprussen. The Colish Soviet saw this as a threat and soon conquered the small state, replacing the republican government with a communist one. After the collapse of Col, the Beloprussian people continued to survive in the area, albeit without forming a cohesive state. This situation continued for many years until the founding of neighboring Liberty. Immigrants from Gotzborg and Treisenberg along with other Germanic-Cibolan peoples began migrating to the area, and finding the culturally-similar Beloprussians soon helped bolster up the small population.
While not in conflict with Liberty, Beloprussia was not under its protection either, and thus subject to frequent raids by roving tribes in the Green. This prompted the feudal lords to band together and establish the Free Order, a military state charged with protecting the various villages. Consisting primarily of cavalry with some light foot soldiers, the Beloprussians ranged across the mountains staving off raiders and conducting retaliatory strikes against hostile tribes. Villages were placed under the protection of the Order, and soon linked together, forming a defensible chain throughout the region. Eventually this coalesced into the state of Beloprussia, with the Marshal of the Order assuming leadership of the state.
