Mecklenburg borders Denmark to the north, Prussian Brandenburg to the south, Pomerania to the east and south, with Oldenburg to the west. Mecklenburg is fairly weak, with a limited roster and scant resources. Conversely, however, it is a lucrative early target for Prussia to attack thanks to its small military presence, initial lack of allies, and especially its port.

Despite not having an alliance with Sweden, Mecklenburg has a small Swedish army stationed within its borders at the beginning of the campaign.

Diplomacy
