NOTE: The last update was on 1st of February 2021.
Poland, officially the Polish Kingdom (Polish: Królestwo Polskie) is a nation located in Central Europe with the capital being 
Lechograd. Formally established on 9th of November of 2018 by its first ruler, 
Mlecz, Polish Kingdom is one of the oldest nations known to Terra Nova and still existing nowadays. Polish Kingdom may be splitted between the mainland nation, located in Europe and its File:Flag of Polish Tasmania.png colony of Tasmania.
Geography
Most territory Poland was controlling in their golden era were modern Poland, west Belarus & Ukraine and Slovakia. They are very mainly wooded and flat. As Slovakia is located on Carpathian mountains, it is a semi-mountainous region with a lot of forests. There are two main rivers in Poland - Vistula and Oder. Two main ingredients of ground - podzol and grass blocks are filling a ground of Greater Poland.
This area is also highly urbanised - most of lands are claimed by cities, in comparison to year ago it changed a lot. Although that, Szczecin region (now Stettin) which had a lot of built-up area (all of claims) was rollbacked to wilderness on its previous mayor's wish.
Demography
For now, population of Polish Kingdom is equally spreaded across its all towns, except of Silesia, in which one third of 18 residents lives in Wrocław and Złoty Stok (and 13 of them are mayors). Speaking of total number of inhabitants, it vastly reduced in the last few months of 2020. There are two main factors which concluded to that result, and the most important one is a lack of activity. Theoretically, Poland exists, because mayors log in each month to just keep their towns alive. If inactive mayors were purged, only Wrocław would remain. The literally same situation happens in Tasmania, where 80% of inhabitants are mayors.
Polish demography is the one of the worst in Europe, which instead of increasing is falling very rapidly and irreversible. This drop has started recently in Autumn 2020, due to the inactivity of King and most of its citizens. Only in April 2020, Kosice was inhabitated by most citizens, 30 which was about 25% of Polish population. Since Summer 2020, Poland has been collapsing due to many crises, wars, and general inactivity. New King caused a little grow, but it stopped after a week, in September 2020. Now (January 2021) it stands on approx. of 20 people. Prognosis say population will decrease to 13 residents in March 2020 and will stop there.
In the golden era of Polish Kingdom an estimated population was 150 residents, where the large portion lived in southern part.
Territory
Polish Kingdom
As of February 2021, in the result of ongoing wars between Poland and their enemies, 
Austria and 
Germany, Polish Kingdom controls a small portion of modern Poland. Most of the territory Poland had few months ago, were already taken by Austrian Empire by planting cities and funding a huge sum of gold.
Polish Government claims to have territories of modern Poland, west Belarus-Ukraine, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, whole of Austrian Empire (as stated in one of King's official announcement) and Tasmania, but in reality Polish Kingdom has no control of over 70% of territory they claim. Polish territory's area has been strongly reduced due to a war mentioned above. If converted to real world measures, Polish Kingdom would claim approx. of 150.000 square kilometers. As of February 2021 the main shape of nation is distorted. Poland fully controls regions of Silesia, Pomerelia, Warmia and neighborhood.
Poland has three parts of land which are divided from the biggest, main chunk of territory. Most of them aren't enclaves/exclaves though.
- Saint-Germain borders with
Austria and 
Germany. - Bielsk Podlaska is divided from Poland by the big wall of Austrian planted cities. It may be connected with Ukrainian part, but the Austrian city of Kipchak effectively blocks it.
- Red Ruthenian western part, containing of cities of Slavowice and Tarnopol, is actually an enclave and borders with Austria only.
Due to the historical revolutions of Western Galicia and Zapadoslavia which happened at the turn of 2020 and 2021, Polish Kingdom has lost control over Lesser Poland, Lubelszczyzna and Eastern Slovakia.
Dominions
In the times of peak of the nation, Polish Kingdom owned three dependent regions. The first and the most known one is, still, the colony of Tasmania. Firstly established in the beginning of June 2019 by jemenik, now ruled by RaddiPL, is highly-autonomous state and over 60% of lands are claimed. Despite that fact, Tasmania is as inactive, as their colonizators.
Zapadoslavia was an independent territory founded by TomTomislav in early 2020. Few months later Polish government successfully managed to form an union between Poland and Zapadoslavia, but it broke suddenly. After TomTomislav's account was purged due to the inactivity, the next ruler became Zombie22PL. He actually caused Zapadoslavia to join Poland, after 3meraldK's persuadations. In the peak of Zapadoslavia's might, they managed to plant three more cities southward from its capital, Lublin. They fell after months, as Zapadoslavian people were inactive (as everyone in Central Europe those times). After months of inactivity Zapadoslavia has declared independence and chose to live on their own. Treaty of Kosice was signed in early 2021. Its previous ruler Zombie22PL emigrated to Louisiades and Lublin was bought by West Galician citizen called _xFlyingEagle. Zapadoslavia is meant to merge with Western Galicia soon.
Gotland, a Swedish island was belonging to Terra Mariana firstly, but as soon as the new mayor appeared - dawidek04122003, he was convinced by 3meraldK to join Polish Kingdom. For joining nation they were granted autonomy and fundings. dawidek04122003 became inactive, account was purged, and as they got new mayor they moved to Sweden.
Government
Polish political system is a constitutional monarchy, which means that everyone needs to obey laws written in Constitution. The situation happening right now in Poland is quite complex; there is a Towny king, which is Night_City and a second, more official ruler holding a king title, which is POGKPP. Towny king doesn't hold a title yet.
Poland has their own Royal Parliament which recruits the most trusted people in nation. They are manually selected by a King and they have some influence in ruling nation together with King. Officials say that members of Parliament perform advisory functions only. Sejm's members are Magnats (magnates or nobles) and Szlachcics (and they are low-level trusted people having their place in parliament.

August 2020
Two years after plan to create a Polish Kingdom, a nation started to irreversibly collapse. There are several reasons, but the most important one is idleness of its government and people. Population was dropping constantly, battles weren't even happening due to Polish lethargy, morale were dropping day by day and King was ignoring stuff despite its activeness in Discord. Two main characters important in rebelling against Polish Kingdom - 3meraldK and Wolk__, both Kings of West Galicia planned to declare sovereignity from any state (doing on its own) but it couldn't happen as Austria claimed their lands.
September 2020
Thus, negotiations started between revolutionary government and Austrian royalty. After few days, an Agreement of Kosice has been signed by both sides - one day later the region of Lesser Poland declared independence and joined Austrian core as a highly-autonomous province. In this situation, Polish Kingdom was in critical situation - lost 30% of residents, three main cities in south and reputation fell down a lot.
Military
Polish military is known as Wojsko Polskie and it's an organization of well-trained soldiers. They are required to supply their own equipment. Wojsko Polskie is tasked with the defense of the nation in case of aggressive behavior of a neighbor or any other country - but also is protecting citizens. Poland is in no alliance for this moment and has few allies. Soldiers are obeying to Generals, Marshal, and King. Marszałek, so Marshal is a person selected by the King and he's the right hand of him.
Religion
Christianity as a normal, real Christianity is the main religion in Poland but some Poles are believing in 
St. Danzig HD Mapper.
Danzigism
One of the proofs Danzig HD Mapper exists is he entered the server before its start and built an infinitely long dirt wall with signs on it describing every mistake made on a map. 
Fix was very surprised he joined it despite the fact he turned on whitelist. He was also about to ban him but he couldn't because of Danzig's power.
Slavic religions
A pagan religion that has been in Poland before its Christianity and occurs on Gotland territory, first embraced by 
dawidek04122003 on his island. Now it is only seen in this province.
