Recent history
Since the reconquest of Warsaw, Poland has enjoyed a steady growth of both its territory of it and its activity. On the 11th of August, the nation signed an alliance treaty with the nation of Khazar. Eight days later, the first session of the Polish parliament was held in the Silesian Parliament building in Katowice (then a Polish town). On the 2nd of September, bound by the alliance treaty with Khazar, Poland declared war on Kushan, and on the same day, the nation joined FIFA in preparation for the EMC World Cup. The war with Kushan ended on September 7. After the reconquest of Warsaw, the capital was ceremonially transferred on the 24th of September 2022.
War with Silesia
On the 31st of October 2022, King KrisusQ sent an ultimatum to the Monarch of Silesia (Silesia left Poland in late August 2022), requiring for them to pay a weekly tax and become a Polish puppet state. The Queen of Silesia, Przaja_Kartoflom, objected to the demands and in consequence, Poland declared war on Silesia on the same day around 19:30 CEST. Major nations, like Khazar and Yukon, have declared their support for Poland, but ultimately didn't provide any material or human aid. There was one official battle that was won by the Polish military, with the battle happening on the 5th of November 2022 near the towns of Kielce and Katowice. Later negotiations with Silesia started. Ever since the war ended, the Polish government recognized Silesia as a part of the Kingdom.
War with the Austrian Empire
On April 5th, 2023, at 11:30 AM CEST, King KrisusQ declared a defensive war on the Austrian empire, claiming that the Austrians had violated Poland's borders illegally, while the Austrians claimed that Poland wanted to annex Silesia, which had recently united with the Austrians, forming the Empire. Since then, the Austrians have also annexed the town of Wilkowyje, just 20 chunks away from Warsaw.
