Name: Principality of Kyiv.
Ruler: Knyaz Olelko.
Diplomacy: Vassal of Lithuania, with claims over the Orthodox lands of the Duchy.
Political background: ten years before the start, there was a major civil war in Lithuania, virtually splitting the country into two. With the Orthodox population even proclaiming Švitrigaila a Grand Duke of Rus. The rebels were suppressed, and later, the Principality of Kyiv was incorporated into Lithuania. Before that, the Olelkovich family ruled there, right during the timeframe of the early game.
Pros:
* more flavour to Eastern Europe.
* More interesting gameplay and prehistory for Lithuania.
* A Ruthenian playable tag from the start.
Cons:
* there are none!
