Danzig is a country located in the Prussian region. They do not exist in the 1444 start, although they exist from 9 August 1807 on. They may also be released as a vassal from the Flag of Teutonic Order Teutonic Order or formed from rebels.

During the event chain "Prussian Confederation", it represents the confederation and will declare independence from the Teutons. However, they will immediately be vassalised by Flag of Poland Poland after the war.

Execute decision.pngDeclare the Hanseatic League

The wealth nested within the ports of the Baltic and North Germany must be harnessed by able and meticulous merchants. It is up to us to improve upon the old legacies of trade, commerce and ample coin. The institutions of old were rotten to their core, their merchants pleased with mediocrity and corruption. The time has come for us to wipe the slate clean, undo and burn down the status quo! And from its ashes a new Hansa will be born, evolved but untamed!

The lands once conquered and Germanized by the Teutonic Order will always need protection against rapacious neighbors. Should the Order fail in this duty, we can take their place and usher in a new era of prosperity and Prussian discipline.

Regardless of the absence of a strong, central authority, our nation is prospering. The Hanseatic League, formed by hundreds of towns in northern Germany, has contributed to the prosperity of our nation. Intellectual growth, combined with sea and overland trading, has also helped spur the development and transform our country into a wealthy manufacturing center.

Strategy[edit | edit source]

Strategy The below is one of many player suggested strategies for Danzig. Bear in mind, due to the dynamic nature of the game, it may unfold differently for other players.

Danzig is an incredibly valuable province due of its trade bonuses. Given this, Danzig can very easily be the dominant trade power in the Baltic Sea Trade Node. Flag of Pomerania Pomerania, Flag of Poland Poland, and the Flag of Teutonic Order Teutonic Order will prioritize annexing the province. Survival will be Danzig's greatest concern.

Released as a Teutonic vassal[edit | edit source]

If released as a vassal from the Teutonic Order, Danzig will need to improve relations with nations that will be willing to support Danzig in a their war of independence. Once independent, Danzig's greatest threats will be Poland and Pomerania until the truce with the Teutonic Order ends. It may be greatly beneficial to improve relations with Austria and become part of the Holy Roman Empire. This will bring Austria to defend Danzig should Poland or the Teutonic Order attack. This will make it less likely for Poland or the Teutonic Knights to attack early on, especially as they will concentrate on fighting each other instead. Alliances with Austria or Brandenburg will help defend against Pomerania.

Due to the great trade bonuses of the Danzig province, as well as the Danzig traditions and national ideas, Danzig's focus should be to build up trade power in the Baltic Sea. The easiest expansion possibility is annexing Pomerania. Depending on Danzig's allies, the Teutonic Order is also a possibility with the added bonus that their provinces are within the Baltic trade region. Once this is done, Danzig should become a wealthy trading state, with great opportunities for expansion following similar strategies to those of Pomerania or the Teutonic Order.

Concede to the Prussian Confederation[edit | edit source]

Instead of releasing Flag of Danzig Danzig, Flag of Teutonic Order Teutonic Order can become Flag of Danzig Danzig through the event The End of the Teutonic State.

This requires letting the Prussian Confederation Flag of Disaster Disaster happen and granting the Concede to the Prussian Confederation privilege to the Burghers to prevent the revolt.

After 1460, when at peace, the event The End of the Teutonic State offers the possibility to change to Flag of Danzig Danzig. It will move the capital to the province of Danzig and switch to Oligarchic Republic instead of a Theocracy when released as a vassal.
