==East Germany==

A fanon term (so far) for post-WWII Prussia, most prevalent in fanworks where he survives the dissolution of his country and represents the eastern half of Germany (post-war). It was coined in part due to the fact that Prussia refers to his brother as "West" when the actual nation of Germany wasn't split apart until after WWII. 

In this hypothetical incarnation, he is also referred to as simply '''GDR''' (German Democratic Republic) or '''GDR!Prussia'''. In canon, Prussia's exact status in the modern day is something that currently remains to be seen, though the 2009 April Fool's event on ''Kitayume'' and its related strips still listed him as Prussia.
