Size and Quality of Military: Although defeated in the Austro-Prussian War due to the intervention of France, the army of Prussia has remained one of the most powerful and advanced armed forces on the continent. Under the pacifist Frederick III, the development of the military was slowed down, and its numbers have been reduced. The strict opposition of the Junkers has however stopped the King from deteriorating it any further, and its advancement, although slowed down, continued.
For now, the Prussian Army consists of 150,000 active forces, and 200,000 reserve forces, although due to the Prussian conscription system, a large part of the population can be called in the army when necessary. In terms of quality, the Prussian Army still remains one of the best military forces in Europe, and it's itching for a revenge against its old enemy, Austria. Recently, the Junkers have started to push for army reforms, and their popularity is rising.
The Prussian Navy is however, a mostly negligible force, as most of the focus of the Prussian Government is set on its army.
History of Nation: The result of a union between the Duchies of Brandenburg and Prussia, in the area formerly ruled by the Teutonic Knights, Prussia has only been German from the 13th century, but it has quickly become one of the strongest German states. Under Friedrich I, the first King in Prussia, and under his successors, Prussia grew, Frederick William I, commonly known as the Soldier King, created and improved its army, and under his son, Frederick the Great, Prussia defeated Austria, and held its own against Russia, Sweden, France, and the other states of the HRE, annexing Silesia and becoming a great power of Europe. From then onward, the protestant Prussia became the alternative to the catholic Austria, slowly gathering the northern German states under its hegemony. Although defeated by Napoleon initially, after the fall of the HRE and the fall of Napoleon, Prussia became even more powerful...
Under Wilhelm I and Chancellor Bismarck, Prussia finally tried to unite the German states into one country, Attacking Austria in 1866, Prussia initially defeated the Austrian forces, but the French invasion in the support of Austria led the war to a defeat for Prussia.. who was forced to pay a heavy toll, losing the Rhineland to Hanover, Bavaria, Hesse, and Nassau, losing Silesia to Austria, losing the Saxon provinces to the Kingdom of Saxony, who also annexed nearly all of the minor Saxon Duchies, and ceding Schleswig to Austria, who then released Schleswig and Holstein as an independent duchy. Bismark resigned in disgrace, and King Wilhelm abdicated in favour of his son, Crown Prince Frederick, who had opposed the war against Austria...
The last decades have been rather peaceful under King Frederick III. The pacifist King created a lot of liberal reforms, and greatly improved Prussia's economy, ignoring its military however. And although his positions are admirable.. ignoring the military in a militaristic state like Prussia earned him the hate of many of his citizens, and especially that of the Junkers, the military nobility, who opposed his reforms and kept the King in check, keeping the army from being completely forgotten, and supporting Crown Prince Wilhelm...
But now, King Frederick is on the dying bed because of his illness, and he probably doesn't have much time left to live. If he were to die, the Junkers would support Wilhelm, who has nothing of his father's pacifism. In a German realm dominated by Austria, Prussia is the only one who can save the Germans from the rule of Vienna... will Wilhelm live to see Prussia's ultimate ruin, or will he repair the mistakes of his forefathers, and bring Prussia back to the heights of glory?
That remains to be seen..

Size and Quality of Military: After the Austrian victory in the Austro-Prussian War, the military underwent considerable reforms, although still not equaling the military efficiency of the Kingdom of Prussia. In Peacetime it consists of a total force of 267, 179 soldiers and officers, although in the war this force could easily reach over 805,000. The bulk of the elite regiments of the Landwehr and the Honvéd are Kaiserjäger and the Royal Hungarian Hussars. The Austrian Navy consists of ten ironclads, two frigates, five corvettes, and six torpedo vessels, the most powerful ship in the Austro-Hungarian Navy being the ironclad SMS Kronprinz Erzherzog Rudolf.
History of Nation: Austria began as the Marcha Orientalis (Eastern Mark) of the Holy Roman Empire, granted with Carinthia and the Tyrol by Emperor Otto I to the Duke of Bavaria. Emperor Otto II granted the March to the House of Babenberg, expanding it and making it independent of Bavaria. Emperor Frederick Barbarossa elevated Austria to a duchy, and upon the extinction of the house of Babenberg the duchy was claimed by King Ottokar II of Bohemia. Emperor Rudolf of the obscure Swabian House of Habsburg objected to this claim, and upon Ottokar’s defeat at the battle of Marchfield, Rudolf invested his sons with the Duchy. Under Emperor Frederick III Austria was elevated to an Archduchy, and during the reign of Ferdinand I the head of the House of Habsburg wore the Crowns of Bohemia and Hungary in addition to the Imperial crown, which was becoming more and more a hereditary possession of the Archdukes of Austria. During the Thirty Years War the Empire was permanently fractured along Catholic and Protestant lines, and it dissolved entirely during the Napoleonic Wars, with the lands of Habsburg Monarchy combining into the newly formed Austrian Empire. In 1848 a revolution broke out in Hungary which was suppressed by loyal Imperial soldiers with Russian assistance, but which led to the creation of the dual Monarchy of Austria-Hungary in 1867 under the Emperor Franz Josef. In the aftermath of this weakening of the Dual Monarchy, the Kingdom of Prussia under Bismark declared war and attacked from Silesia through Bohemia. Fortunately for Austria the dynastic alliance formed with France in early 1863 mobilized French troops across the Rhine, which allowed Austrian soldiers (although poorly equipped) to take and hold Prussian Silesia. This victory revived the dying German Confederation and at the same time led to the Second Kraków Uprising in early 1868. This in turn led to the brief Six Weeks War with the Polish-Lithuania Commonwealth, which ended due to the mediation of Pope Leo XIII. From 1870 on Austria's main efforts have been improving relations with the minor German states, particularly Bavaria and Saxony, and preventing the formation of any Prussian lead coalition. Since 1875 relations with France began to fray, although common antagonism toward Britain prevents either country from breaking the alliance, while relations with Russia considerably improved upon the marriage of Crown Prince and Archduke Rudolf of Austria with Grand Duchess Anastasia Mikhailovna Romanov in 1879.

It actually started in Victoria II, another game by the same company set 1836-1936. In it, you could play as Sweden and release Jan Mayen and/or Norway. Picking Jan Mayen put you as the lord/lady of an island with 15 farmers, 80% literacy, and nothing else. There was a special decision that, if Jan Mayen was ranked in the top 16 countries in the world (Usually through prestige, because 80% literacy means fast research means more cultural research), then Jan Mayen could buy all of Denmark's colonies to "Unite the Polar Bears of the world under one banner".

According to the map, it is owned by Norway I think.

Size and Quality of Military: Totals 30,000 troops. The Royal Danish Army has historically been an integral part of the defense of Denmark and thus involved in warfare, skirmishes and battles continuously to protect her interests. Most notably various territorial wars with Sweden, Russia and Prussia, and the Napoleonic Wars on the side of France. While it is not anything special in size or quality, it is a professional and capable fighting force able to effectively fulfill its purpose of protecting the Unity of the Danish Realm. The navy is much smaller than it was in the days of the union with Norway, but is in the process of modernization.(Image)
History of Nation: The Danish liberal and national movements gained momentum in the 1830s, and after the European revolutions of 1848 Denmark became a constitutional monarchy on 5 June 1849. The growing bourgeoisie had demanded a share in government, and in an attempt to avert the sort of bloody revolution occurring elsewhere in Europe, Frederick VII gave in to the demands of the citizens. A new constitution emerged, separating the powers and granting the franchise to all adult males, as well as freedom of the press, religion, and association. The king became head of the executive branch. The legislative branch consisted of two parliamentary chambers; the Folketing, comprising members elected by the general population, and the Landsting, elected by landowners. Denmark also gained an independent judiciary.
Industrialisation came to Denmark in the second half of the 19th century. The nation's first railroads were constructed in the 1850s, and improved communications and overseas trade allowed industry to develop in spite of Denmark's lack of natural resources. Trade unions developed starting in the 1870s. There was a considerable migration of people from the countryside to the cities, and Danish agriculture became centered around the export of dairy and meat products.
The recent history of the Kingdom of Denmark has been one of irrelevant outrage. The nation maintains a small colonial empire run by a small central state. A series of defeats at the hands of major powers over the last century has forced them to recognized the limited ability of their own powers. That didn't stop them from resenting the Austrians for allowing an independent Schleswig-Holstein after the Austro-Prussian War instead of ceding Schleswig to the Danes who'd lost it to Prussia several years prior. And while they've been at peace for some time they haven't forgotten Sweden's acquisition of Norway and Skåne.
