History

-kept as lordship in personal union with Russia, occasionally occupied in wars

-following French Wars > Fourth French War (1880-4), Jever excluded from newly unified Germany

-following Young Russian Revolution (1902-8), Jever does not fall and is instead held by military

-desires to maintain itself as a White hotspot and potentially a base for restoration

-with almost all Romanovs (and all men since Paul I) dead they declare a niece of Alexander, empress Xenia

-only escaped by marrying a Hanoverian aristocrat

-accepts this offer and she converts back to Russian Orthodoxy

-large part of White diaspora flees to Jever, becomes slim majority

-despite some nationalist seething from Germany, German govt considers it not worth it and other countries oppose it

-however, Russia continues to view it as properly Russian territory and repeatedly threatens to invade

-to general silence

-eventually, in normalization treaty in 1963, Jever disclaims title over Russia

-but fuses imperial title with Jever, becomes Emperor of Jever
