When she became Empress, Courland recieved an increased degree of indpendence. In the 1770's, Catherine II, worried Courland would secede, annexed the region and made it part of the current Latvia.
- In the alternate designated as 3477 by Crosstime Traffic, Courland was one of several client states established by Germany, after it won the brief war of 1914 and carved up the territory of defeated Russia.
- In the Empire: Total War, Courland starts the Grand Campaign sandwiched between its protector, Poland-Lithuania, to the south and Sweden to the north. Courland has a reputation of being abnormally aggressive for its size, and will often cause headaches for Sweden and Prussia by declaring war on them. It fields a very large army for a minor nation, and will retrain very quickly if its units are killed.
