The Prussian Republic (German: Republik Preußen, Polish: Republika Prus), formally the Federal Republic of Prussia (German: Bundesrepublik Preußen), commonly referred to simply as Prussia, is a federal constitutional parliamentary republic in central Europe bordered by Denmark and the North and Baltic Seas to the north, Lithuania and Poland to the east, the Czech Republic and Germany to the south, and France and the Low Lands to the west. Consisting of sixteen constituent states, Prussia occupies a land area of 367,821.25 square kilometres, making it the seventh largest nation in Europe. Prussia has a population of 85,462,912, meaning it is the most populous country in the European Union and the second most populous in Europe after Russia. Prussia's capital and largest city is Berlin, whilst its largest conurbation consists of the Ruhr in Rhineland-Palatinate, its principle cities being Dortmund and Essen. Other major cities in Prussia include Königsberg, Danzig, Hamburg, Bremen, Hannover, and Breslau (Wroclaw).

The historical region of Prussia (now the states of East and West Prussia) is first recorded by the Roman senator Tacticus in the late 1st century CE, where it is describes as being the homeland of the Aesti people group. Approximately 800 to 900 years later, the Aesti began to be referred to as the Old Prussians, who would later unify in the early 13th century to form the Teutonic Order State. At the same time, what is now Western Prussia fluctuated between the control of various small states of the Frankish and Holy Roman Empires.

In 1701 Brandenburg-Prussia formed the Kingdom of Prussia, which would become the dominant political power of the German Empire and Central Europe. Following Prussia's victory in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71, reinvigorated German nationalism lead to the creation of the unified German Reich under Prussian hegemony. Following the defeat of Germany in the First World War, Germany was forcibly divided into six separate states - Saxony, Bavaria, Baden-Württemburg, Hessen-Darmstadt, Saxony-Rhineland and Prussia in the Breslau Agreement. Prussia shortly after begun to improve its relations with France and the other Allies, reuniting with its Western counterpart of Saxony-Rhineland in the Brandenburg Agreement of 1923.

As the Nazi party began to grow in power in the Unified German Republic throughout the 1930s, Prussia further improved its relations with other allied states, particularly with Russia and France. After the failed Preußenschlag of 1932 (a Coup d'État on the Prussian government by the Nazi party), Prussia's relations with Nazi Germany rapidly deteriorated, eventuating in the German invasion and annexation of Prussia in 1939, commencing the Second World War.

Following the end of the Second World War with the storming of the Nazi capital Nuremburg, Prussia, as a German-speaking nation, was also divided amongst the Allies into administrative divisions. the USSR was given administration over the Prussian states of East Prussia, West Prussia, Posen, Danzig, Upper Silesia, and Lower Silesia; France was granted Rhineland, Hesse-Nassau, and Westphalia; the United Kingdom was given Hamburg, Schleswig-Holstein, Mecklenburg, and Pomerania; and the United States were granted Lower Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, Bremen, and Brandenburg. The Prussian capital of Berlin was divided amongst all four allies.

Prussia's division continued throughout much of the 20th century as a result of tensions between the Soviet Union and the Allied Powers in the Cold War. In 1949, the collective allied administrative zones of Prussia were united to form the Federal Republic of Prussia (Bundesrepublik Preußen, or BRP), whilst the Soviet-administered areas of Eastern Prussia became the People's Republic of Prussia (Volksrepublik Preußen, or VRP), a Russian satellite state. Tensions between the two states escalated throughout the 20th century, eventuating in the reunification of Prussia in 1990.

Today, Prussia is a major global middle power and one of the founding members of the European Union. Prussia is also a member of NATO, the Schengen Area, the G20, and the OECD. Through its rich cultural history, Prussia continues to attract numerous artists, philosophers, writers, scientists, entrepreneurs, and engineers to this day, and forms one of the most progressive and economically powerful countries in the modern world.
