I don't have much, but one work I had recommended to me that I do check on occasion is Gunka no Baltzar. The main character is a
Prussian Weissen major sent as a military advisor and instructor to the military academy in
Bavaria Baselland, which has been attempting to balance the separate competing ambitions of its neighbors in Weissen and
Austria Ezreich. Baselland is domestically vulnerable, however, with a sickly king unable to govern. In the interim, real royal authority has largely become vested in his two sons who advocate different policies both domestically and abroad, with their only real point of commonality being an interest in maintaining Baselland's independence. Weissen itself has its own concerns, however, including growing concern over competing ethnic and economic ambitions with
Denmark Holbaek over the status of
Schleiswig-Holstein the Norden-Trade Duchy which has already broken out into war once. Domestically, as well, its own military has been taking on a much more independent nationalist position, which has threatened to put it into conflict with its own ruler (who is more of a
Friedrich than a
Wilhelm, so to speak) and bears its own similarity to the armed forces of a
rather different nation due to the growing political awareness and activism among the
junior officers.
EDIT: Wait, you already read this. Don't mind me. ^_^
