Biomes and Geographic Features
Little Prussia was founded on a small peninsula which was generously gifted by Gensokyo to the Prussians upon their desire to return to the Civcraft series. The Prussians quickly settled the southern half of the L-shaped land, which was surrounded by a narrow bay to the east, south, and west. To the north, it connected to the Gensokyo mainland. The entire peninsula is composed of a forest biome, some beaches, and oceans surrounding it. Due to the shallow nature of the waters on the west end of the peninsula, one of the first undertakings of the Prussians was to drain the water and build polders, greatly expanding the available land to build upon while simultaneously gaining valuable resources to begin building. As a result of the first territorial expansion of Little Prussia, again generously gifted by Gensokyo, the Prussian lands grew by roughly 750% and now included a sizable swamp biome with rivers to its north and east.
The Prussian peninsula features several shallow sandy banks along its coasts, making for easy polder building. The eastern sandy bank has already been turned into a sizable farming and flower polder. Considerations are under way for what to do with the western major sandy bank. The peninsula also featured numerous pointy outcroppings made of dirt and stone, which were termed "Hinkelsteine". The outcroppings were not large enough to build upon but were a slight nuisance during the ongoing construction of Sigmaringen. One solution to the problem was to use the major ring in the center of the peninsula as a "tub" to flood the space between them with water, which was in turn turned to stone by dumping lava on it, layer by layer. This turned the tub of outcroppings into a single, monolithic plateau upon which Sigmaringen Castle is being constructed. Several original outcroppings still remain on the peninsula and are under the strict protection of the Freunde der preußischen Landschaft und vorpreußischen Bauten e.V., (FdpLuvBeV) (''Fellows of the Prussian Landscape and Pre-Prussian Constructs, Org.'') The organization also protects the last know naturally-generated pine tree on the peninsula.
Neighbors
Formally, Little Prussia is within the lands of Gensokyo, where the bulk of its territory lies northwest of Little Prussia. Gensokyo's capital city of Taozi is approximately two kilometers northwest of Sigmaringen. Directly south of Sigmaringen, across the bay, is the country of Verda with its towns of Sovia, Craiggrad, Heinlau, and Crowsroost, all of which are easily accessible by road or boat. The Omerican Federal Republic lies east of Little Prussia and the territory of Panem a bit to the west over the bay.
Public Infrastructure
Prussia currenly only maintains a single north-south road through its own lands, from Sigmaringen to its swamp farms. The road extends southwards into Verda via a newly-constructed bridge.
A full national and international rail system is currently under development, as well as plans for an extensive road network.
