Embrace Kurlander Identity

Our state has been reduced to Curonia, lands of the Latvians. It is to nobody's advantage if we still try to cling on to our old traditions and national identity. Instead, we should embrace our new home and bound with the Latvians. Let us embrace this new identity as a Balten duchy ruling over the Latvians of Curonia.

Reform into Kurland

The Northern Crusade has long come to an end. Our Crusader identity will soon bring us no more than nothing and maybe one day, it will eventually become a burden... By secularizing the state and reforming it into a duchy which is led by the former Grandmaster and his knights - now the Duke and his vassals - we can rouse the state from decadence and ameliorate our diplomatic situation.
