The Young Kingdom

Dear Journal,

The new Kingdom is still very poor and hasn't fully recovered from the Thirty Years' War. Our territory is now scattered across 1200 km. Last year the bubonic plague struck killing about one third of the population of the Duchy of Prussia. The plague reached Prenzlau last August but finally stopped before reaching the capital Berlin. Prussia defeated Sweden in the Great Northern War and it ended Swedish control on the southern shores of the Baltic Sea. Last week the Prusso-Swedish Treaty of Stockholm was issued which allowed us to regain parts of Pomerania that was under Swedish control.
