Description As I've mentioned before, Prussia would have been the younger brother of the Holy Roman Empire.

The Old Prussians (a people in the Baltic region) existed a little before and during the 13th century. In the 13th century, the Teutonic Knights conquered the people.

The cross on his belt represents the Knights, not the Iron Cross (again, the first Iron Cross was presented in 1813).

There's some debate over when the Holy Roman Empire began. Some believe it to have started when Charlemagne was crowned the Emperor of Rome by Pope Leo III in the year 800. However, it's generally accepted that the Holy Roman Empire was truly "born" 2 Febuary 962.

From what I've read, it seems that Prussia was (before Friedrich Wilhem I developed it into a military state) farmland with few natural resources. I'd imagine him to be kind of a little punk...

So maybe the reason Germany seems more mature than Prussia... is because he's really the older brother? (I wonder how Gilbert would feel if he was stripped of his "Big Brother" title...)

Best you don't tell "germany" about this, or you'll never hear the end of it. The cats ears thing is enough already...
