Red Prussia-Baltic Sea (Realistic Start)

Comrade Party Secretary,

the Party Central Committee delegates you to the north of our Republic, to the region of Osterburg. The development of the region is essential to strengthen the front of peace. The enemy is near and fraternal help is far.
The region is strongly agricultural, poor in resources, there is plenty of room in this sparsely populated area to drive collectivised and industrialised agriculture to its planned flowering.
In the north-west is the seaside resort of Thargau, which has remained almost undestroyed, as has the remote agrarian town of Rummelsberg in the south. Both have yet to be incorporated into the national structure by the party leadership. The new era will also take hold here.


The pearl of the region is the old proud workers' town of Osterburg with its chemical and textile combinates.
The liberation of the town only succeeded with great sacrifices; the N.a.z.i.-Fascists, in their senseless madness, declared the town, which was overflowing with refugees, a fortress. The result is a city that is half destroyed.
The railway is of very limited use, many bridges were blown up in the last minutes in a senseless act of destruction. The city is still overcrowded, housing the most urgent problem.
Even 15 years after the war, the citizens still live in ruins, shacks and wild settlements.
Due to the remoteness caused by the new border demarcations and the destruction of the infrastructure, the supply of foodstuffs and raw materials is not guaranteed. We are sure that, unlike their predecessor, they are not just grumbling about central planning and its alleged lack of support, but are rising to the challenge.

Their predecessor, however, was not completely idle: The factories are collectivised and operational under the wise leadership of the working class. The electricity grid in Osterburg was put into operation and many roads, part of the harbour and the most important bridges were at least provisionally repaired. A first socialist model farm for collectivised agriculture has been built, the comrades of the LPG are only waiting for the tractors. It will be a shining example and give a significant boost to the campaign for collectivisation.
In addition to the pressing housing question, the education of the working class must be pushed forward; in the medium term, the Party's goal is to make the region a model for socialist industrial development. Our most powerful resource will be the working people.

Take the lead in the initiative of the labourers and confirm the trust placed in you. We wish you full success in the development of our workers' and peasants' state.

With socialist greetings, the Party Central Committee.


This map is based on the great "Red Prussia" map by KArantukki and the realistic start was inspired by Toprus100.

Thanks to you and all whose mods I used for the map. I have created a collection, you can find it here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2899214937

The new game mechanic "Maintenance of buildings" created an unforeseeable problem: Not all decorative buildings could be accessed via paths afterwards. I have hopefully rebuilt everything so that all buildings are accessible via paths. Except for some mods, like some of the viaducts and the city walls, which have no or inaccessible road access, everything should now be directly accessible for refurbishment and demolition. I can't and don't like replacing these mods, they are too central to the style of the map. But they should all be accessible by helicopter. Let's hope that the authors of these mods change them soon. If you find buildings that are neither accessible via paths nor with (small!) helicopters for refurbishment, please write it in the comments.

I am open for comments and suggestions, I hope the scenario is not too narrow and you have fun developing Osterburg.
