Anhalt is a Catholic Saxon feudal monarchy located in the Northern Saxony area of the North Germany region, Western Europe; emerging in 'The Mongol Empire' era. At the start date of February 2, 1212 the one-province monarchy borders only fellow Catholic nations: Saxony in the southwest, Magdeburg in the north, Brandenburg in the northeast, and Thuringia in the east.
Anhalt will convert, and for the rest of the game, in 1529 to Protestant.
On the date January 18, 1871 Anhalt will be annexed by Protestant Prussia turning into Protestant Germany .
Called "Anhalt" on-file.

Anhalt
+10.0% Morale of Armies
-5.0% Technology Cost
+1.00 Yearly Legitimacy
Mittelbirge Our home is situated between the mountains of the Harz and the River Elbe, protected and cut off from the rest of Saxony. This relative isolation and defensive position has brought prosperity to Anhalt for centuries, and if we continue to remain out of the petty conflicts of our fellow Princes, we shall make Anhalt into the pearl of the Elbe +10.0% Global Trade Power
The Branches of Anhalt When the good Duke Henry passed, his territories were divided amongst his three sons, who in turn would also partition their territories amongst their sons, and so the royal administration of Anhalt would continue to divide and grow with each generation. Though many branches converge and consolidate into one, this style of government shall facilitate for the expansion of Anhalt and the growth and prosperity of our royal line -0.075 Monthly Autonomy Change
Incorporation of the Bishopric Long ago, our nation was divided between the Princedom of Anhalt and the Bishopric of Halberstadt on the north side of the Harz mountains. When Duke Henry passed, his territories were divided amongst his sons, and with a promise to always follow the one true word of God, the Bishop of Halberstadt pledged fealty to Henry's eldest son and joined the Aschersleben district +2.00 Tolerance of the True Faith
Anhalt Castle Although our nation has long been protected by the mountains and rivers of our home, the terrain alone was not sufficient to protect us from invaders. In spite of our small size, Anhalt Keep was quickly transformed into Anhalt Castle, built in the Harz Mountains to protect our nation from any entering with malicious intent. It's the necessity of survival that motivates the swiftness of our builders, and if Anhalt is to continue to protect itself from subjugation, we must continue this tradition of cheap and rapid construction -10.0% Construction Cost -10.0% Construction Time
Dessau Garden Kingdom Our home is full of vast empty spaces, but our Royal line deserves something to demonstrate the wealth and power held within Anhalt. Though many would construct a palace or a cathedral, our wise nobility desire instead to establish a garden so vast and beautiful that it is itself a Kingdom for noblemen to explore +1.00 Yearly Prestige
The Duke and the Schultheiss One of the largest settlements in the Duchy of Anhalt is Dessau, which itself is governed autonomously by an individual selected by the Duke and elected by the people. Rulership in this style is common across Anhalt and guarantees that tax collection in our many towns and villages is carried out in an exact and expedient manner without embezzlement -0.10 Yearly Corruption
