Description

Updates:
- Tinted the land a light shade of brown and darkened the water to make it more clear which is which. (Was originally slightly confusing at first glance.)

- Made the rest of the map German since most of the text was already in German. Translation of the title can be found below for those who need it.

- Changed the markers for the regional capitals of Mecklenburg and the Pomeranias to regular city markers for the sake of consistency.


The title on the map means "The Kingdom of Brandenburg Following the Edict of Trier 1622"


A map of the Kingdom of Brandenburg to go with the flag I made...God, July 2011? Seriously? Time passes too fast these days. [link]

The Hohenzollerns had a different set of failures and successes here. It's more nautically oriented than the OTL Brandenburg/Prussia, not that that's much of an accomplishment. Prussia was never even secularized as a Lutheran duchy here.

The year is pretty much just a placeholder at this point. The Edict of Trier is supposed to be the end of some sort of very alternate Thirty Years War. (Which didn't last thirty years or started or ended at the same time) The end result is a dissolution/split of the HRE as a result of an even more antagonistic relationship between *Protestants and Catholics than OTL. The whole thing's pretty vague at this point. I pretty much just wanted to illustrate the Brandenburg I had in mind when I made the flag last summer.
