As an interesting and challenging regional power, I think Livonian Order deserves a set of ideas of its own, not just the generic theocracy ideas of a German bishopric. Here's my suggestion for their NI's:
Traditions:
-1 national unrest
+10% cavalry combat ability
Idea 1: German ties (+1 diplomatic reputation)
Although very far from the German lands, our ruling elite is still mostly German. Their contacts back West are very useful for making our cause popular across Europe.
Idea 2: Livonian autonomy (-10% stability cost)
On paper, our brotherhood is a branch of the Teutonic Order. In practice, we are free to lead the order as we see fit, answering only to God.
Idea 3: Continue the Northern Crusades (+5% discipline)
The pagans of Baltic coast have been brought into the fold centuries ago. Next, we must bring the true faith to the vile schismatics of Russia. Our armies are ready for a renewed crusade.
Idea 4: Local serfs (+10% production efficiency)
Most of our lands are owned by the German nobles, but farmed by the local serfs. While they toil in the fields, we can collect the benefits of these large centralized holdings.
Idea 5: Sword of Catholicism (+2 yearly papal influence)
Our persistence at the edge of the Catholic world has gradually gained us respect and religious authority that should greatly help us assert our importance to the Holy Father.
Idea 6: Respect of local bishops (+2 tolerance of the True Faith)
Our strength lies not only in crusading knights, but the support of local bishops. By showing them the appropriate respect and ruling over them justly, we can rely on them to maintain our subjects' spiritual integrity.
Idea 7: Foreign recruits (+25% manpower)
The order needs recruits from Germany and beyond to keep up its struggle against the enemies of the true faith. With skilled and devout warriors joining our ranks, we should have no fear of falling in the face of any outside threat.
Ambitions: +10% infantry combat ability
