Dithmarschen is a Catholic Lower Saxon peasants' republic HRE member located in the Schleswig-Holstein area, North Germany region, of the Western Europe subcontinent; arising during 'The Mongol Invasion' era. Emerging, gaining its cores, from Catholic Verden in 1250 the republic borders fellow Catholic countries ( Verden to the southwest across the Helgoland Bight, Hamburg to the southeast and Holstein to the northwest.) and the waters of Helgoland Bight (North Sea area, North Atlantic region) in the west.
Dithmarschen will be annexed by Protestant Denmark in 1559, and will not appear on the map for the rest of the timeline.
Note: Country is called "Ditmarschen" on-file.
