Would be nice to have "Inheritance of Oldenburg by Russia" event.
Text from Centennia: In 1773 Denmark annexed the troublesome duchy of
Holstein-Gottorp with Russian permission. Russia
received Oldenburg in northern Germany which was
promptly ceded to the city of Bremen.
... it'd have to be tied to some triggers where Russia is more powerful than Denmark upon the annexation of Holstein by the Danes. Oh and Oldenburg has to be Danish.
A lot of things have to be right... so you'll see it in about 1 of 1000 games. >_<

What happened was this. Peter III of Russia (the nephew of the Empress Elizabeth and the hapless husband of Catherine the Great) was by inheritance the Duke of Holstein-Gottorp. After his premature death, the Duchy was inherited by his reputed son, the future Emperor Paul. Ownership of the duchy proved troublesome for Russia, so Catherine worked out a deal that her son's duchy be traded with Denmark for Oldenburg. Paul was Count of Oldenburg for all of four days (10 - 14 December 1773) since Oldenburg was promply given to the Bishop of Lubeck, Friedrich August, who was not only of a collateral line of Holstein-Gottorp but also happened to be the uncle of Gustav III of Sweden (of the house of Holstein-Gottorp)...
