Everybody knows, and any decent history book shows, that the Grand Duchy of Kitschberg was situated somewhere between East Prussia and Russia sometime between 1719 and 1787.
Although historians ceaselessly debate its relevance to and influence on the military and political landscape before it was reabsorbed into the fatherland, all agree that this brief flowering of independence under Grand Duke Siegfried was one of the most dramatic and exciting episodes in 18th Century history.
This humble chronicle charts the many historical twists and turns of the wonderful homeland described by eminent historians as variously 'picturesque', 'bohemian', 'institutionally duellist', 'polite' and 'the most violent'. Readers are invited to explore this little-known part of the world, and we sincerely hope that what they discover will bring them great delight.
The Grand Duchy of Kitschberg is of course an ImagiNation on the continent of Urope. Provided that you don't let on to your children, we'll keep sending the presents each year, OK?
