The Livonian Order is a large Monastic Order based in the Baltics. It lies on the coast of the Baltic sea and borders Teutonic Order to the southwest, Lithuania to the south, Novgorod to the east, and contains Riga as an enclave within it's borders. It is a historical friend of the Teutonic Order and Riga.

Decisions[edit]

The Livonian Order is able to form Kurland.

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.


Potential requirements Kurland does not exist. The country: is either the Livonian Order or Riga. was never an end-game tag. has not yet enacted this decision. If the country is AI-controlled then: it can not be a custom nation. Protestant or Reformed religion must be enabled.	Allow The country: has an administrative technology of at least level 10. is not a nomad nation. is not at war. is Reformed or Protestant. owns its core provinces Goldingen (39) and Mitau (1935).

Effects If Mitau (1935) is part of the HRE, but the country is not a member then: the province is removed from the HRE. the Holy Roman Emperor: gets the opinion modifier “Removed provinces from the Empire” towards the country, worth −50 opinion with a yearly decay of 1. loses 1 imperial authority. Mitau (1935): will no longer be under the control of an estate. becomes the capital of the country. The country: becomes Kurland. gains 10 prestige. gets the modifier “Increased Centralization” for 10 years with the following effects: −0.05 monthly autonomy change, +1 national unrest. gets the event ‘New Traditions & Ambitions’ unless it’s using custom ideas. If Kurland: does not have custom ideas then it gets the event ‘New Traditions & Ambitions’. is a theocracy then it becomes a monarchy. Every neighbouring monarchy: gets the opinion modifier “Secularized Monastic Order” towards Kurland worth 25 opinion with a yearly decay of 2.5.
