In this sub-thread, I'm sharing a selection of major issues that the major international players care about, i.e. their trending topics.
There are a lot, obviously. I'm ignoring ones that don't seem likely to directly affect Fritz in 1730, like Jacobitism, many of the ones having to do with trade and colonies overseas (although not all, as you'll see), and, like, Russia.
Re Russia, though, you should keep in mind that it's only been 12 years since Tsarevich Alexei fled to another country because he didn't want to be tsar but wanted to be a private citizen, was lured back to Russia with a promise from his father that no harm would come to him or his mistress, and was then condemned to death and died from torture. So while Prussia isn't Russia and FW is not Peter the Great, this is going to be very much on Fritz's mind when he's deciding what to do.
