EDIT - Muzyck beat me with Czechoslovakia. I bow to his speed. Okay, I might get someone heated about this, but I cannot resist playing off Cathy-Russia with Brandenburg-Fred. If I have my history straight, at the time, Fred the Great and Cathy the Great agreed that Poland should no longer exist and, therefore, made it so (to quote Captain Picard). So, if you could forgive me - a Friedrich II (the Great) 1753 Brandenburg Bayreuth 1-kreuzer. From here we can go to any of the Baltic states, or play from Germany or even Poland.
