[Panzerschreck]

As mentioned before in the Mare Nostrum Thread

As the addon is named after the Mediterranean Sea, what is the chance we see a new Mediterranean nation like the Duchy of St. Sava (later known as Herzegovina) which existed from 1435 to 1483, and would at least consists of the province Travunia, and (or at least parts of) Hum.

Map:

In game terms and with the current shape of the provinces it would include Travunia and Hum, with a claim (or core) on Zeta, and a claim on Ragusa. The country would start as a Vassal of Aragon and at war with Bosnia (and Venice which supported Bosnia at that time) in a war of independence against Bosnia (ok I know that's hard to make in game terms. Aragon should support St. Sava's independence and after a peace is made it should become a Aragon Vassal). Peace was made in May 1446, when there was a Royal Marriage between St. Sava and Bosnia.

Rulers:
Noble House Kosača
Stjepan Vukčić (1435-1466, Born in 1404)
Vladislav Herzegovic (1466-1483, Born in 1426 or 1427)
Vlatko Herzegovic (died in 1489)

In 1448 Stjepan wrote to Holy Roman Emperor Frederick III a document where he don't wrote of him self as the "Duke of Hum" (as actual title), but as the Duke or rather "Herzog" / "Herceg" of St. Sava, a title and phrase which would later became the name for the region - Herzegowina.
