Birth of a Nation?

After long thought....I will be the Duchy of Bratzenborsch. In the lands between Russia and Prussia.

Founded not by the Teutonic Knights but by the Knights of Heiligewurst,(Holy Sausage) known for short as the Wurst Knights?.. Michael Lonie

I don't know.Two-tonic Knights is kind of catchy, and clearly named fortheir love of tonic water (Uncle Guiseppe's Wonder Tonic, cures whateverails you!).--Bruce B.

Furturmore, the southern lands of the Duchy are known as Gritzengreenz. Which provides the Greenz Regiment, raised from the town of Trugritz.

A General Sishka .... whose men would be affectionately known asShiska's Bobs ....:)Steal it if you like ...Arthur

How about a northeast link to Prussia, Kielbasikraut?
Don't forget the towns of Kollardgreenz and Obergekuktgreenz...Michael Lonie

OK, now.... are you planning to have distinctive battle cries?Something fierce and spine-shaking?You could also have standard expressions... like---(wait for it)"Holy Sausages Bratzman""Quick Borischt-- to the Bratzcave!"And of course there could be a Bratz-girl!"If you liked my knishs wait till you've had a piece of my dumplings!"

In the WWI German Navy, there was a ship named "Fredrick der Grosse"... asin 'Frederick the Fat'...Joe
