And, I mean, it doesn't have to be just 18th century characters, either!

Aka the United Provinces, aka the Dutch Republic.

Their golden age is over, so I'll just mention that one of the main things they care about is their strong "anti" feelings against two of their neighbors: Prussia and Austria. 

Austria controls the Austrian Netherlands (future Belgium, more or less), and the Dutch don't want them getting too much economic or military benefit from that.

Prussia controls territory bordering on the Netherlands (such as Cleves, where Peter Keith escapes from), claims the Prince of Orange title for the Hohenzollerns, and claims more territory near the Netherlands--mostly Jülich and Berg--that the Dutch don't want them getting.
