East Frisia is an OPM located in Frisia in northern Europe. Unlike all of its neighbors, it is not a member of the Holy Roman Empire, though can join early into the game via an event chain. It shares its form of government, Peasants Republic, with Dithmarschen, and exists from 1444 to 1744.

Decision[edit]

As a nation with Frisian culture, East Frisia can form the Netherlands.

Form Dutch Nation

The Dutch are emerging as one of Europe's most capable naval and colonial powers. Lucrative trade opportunities, locally and overseas, have resulted in a swift evolution for the country into one of the first capitalist countries in the world.

[Root.Monarch.GetName]’s Claim to East Frisia

Since 1381, East Frisia’s independence has been questionable at best. Ocko II, the last official Count of East Frisia, loaned his title to Count William V of Holland. When the traitorous Ocko II was forcibly removed from power by our peasant militia in the Battle of the Wild Fields, the status of [Root.Monarch.GetName] as Count of East Frisia went unrecognised by the Empire.

[dutch_east_frisia_claimant.Monarch.GetName], [dutch_east_frisia_claimant.Monarch.GetTitle] of [dutch_east_frisia_claimant.GetName], insists that [Root.Monarch.GetName] is little more than a peasant leading a revolt against [Root.Monarch.GetHerHis] liege and has no right to claim sovereignty over East Frisia. Seeking approval from the Emperor could help to strengthen our claim and keep [dutch_east_frisia_claimant.GetName] at bay.

This event happens only once during a campaign.

East Frisia Offers to Join the Empire

An envoy from the leader of the peasants in East Frisia has arrived asking [Root.Monarch.GetTitle] [Root.Monarch.GetName] to support [EFR.Monarch.GetName]’s claim to the County of East Frisia. In return for our support, [Root.Monarch.GetSheHe] has offered to kneel before the Emperor as a Prince of the Holy Roman Empire.

Officially, the county of East Frisia is held by [dutch_east_frisia_claimant.Monarch.GetName] of Holland. The Holy Roman Empire has made no official stance on the matter, and a single word from the Emperor could bring an end to this conflict.
