West Galicia, East Galicia or officially the Kingdom of West Galicia (Polish: Królestwo Galicji Zachodniej) is a polish nation located in Central Europe with the capital in Kraków. Established on 21nd of September 2020 by 3meraldK, due to the polish revolts of September 2020. This nation belongs to Austria as a highly autonomous dependency with own government, currencies, population, language and traditions except of foreign affairs diplomacy.
Geography
Marked territory of West Galicia region is made up mainly by three big cities, which are Kosice, Kraków and Rzeszów. Nation is divided by very densely wooded area of Western Carpathians. Southern Slovakia and Lesser Poland are flat and deforested. Kraków and Rzeszów have access to Vistula, the biggest Polish river, but its source has been artifically destroyed by Austrian/Turkish settlers. Lands claimed are moderately urbanised. Kosice expands from Northern Hungary up to Lesser Poland, but only 2/5 of city's length can be considered as inhabited.
Demography
Most of population, nearly 3/4 of people are living in the main cities of the Kingdom - Kosice with 17 residents and Kraków with just one less. Rzeszów, Lublin, Naleczow, Debrecen and Ustrzyki are inhabitated by their mayors only.
Since the start of rapid development in early 2021 population has grown by some few hundred percent. Half of the population are Poles and rest is other. Before March 2021, 40 residents of Turkish origin were settling Kosova city, but it collapsed on 9th of March 2021, and then Kosice and Kraków expanded into their former claims.
Galician demography is even three times larger than Polish but it can end soon and the population might fall to 20 in two months. Total population fills 20% of Austrian Empire's population of over 200 people.
Government
A political system is a constitutional diarchy, which means that two kings are in power, but in reality only one of them has real power and the second one is a representive head of state with less rights. They are:
West Galicia has a Royal Parliament which selects the most arranged, most trusted and long-serving people. They are manually selected by kings and have some influence in ruling nation. Sejm's members are Magnats (nobles) and Szlachcics (low-level government people). System is directly copied from Polish Kingdom as it was one of many goals.
Military
West Galicia has no structure of army, as every citizen of the country must participate in the military operations of the state. People who are going to fight are required to have a so-called "god gear" - fully enchanted diamond/netherite armor and sword/axe. When in a war state and combatting, they must obey to generals and kings.

History
Before revolutions
It was in the beginning of April 2020, when Germany declared war on Poland. Austria, Spain and many other powers joined against. April 2020 was the very beginning of problems in Polish Kingdom. Many unsolved crises, wars and bad reputation around. Nobody in the neighborhood liked Poland and wasn't desired to start any alliance. It was the huge problem for a good diplomats to solve, rescue Polish Kingdom and even strenghten it much after the truce, thought 3meraldK, and then while being an important politic and noble asked POGKPP for giving his position.
He refused, and no provided no real reason behind it. Just no, and that's it. 3meraldK's mission was to get Toruń back to Poland, then "we can think about Marshal position". Marshal, or Marszałek is the less important position than King but the second in the importance, practically owning a Towny nation, but still not being on the throne. It's not what 3meraldK really wanted and then it started.
Even after a purchase of Toruń things didn't go well and POGKPP refused to abdicate. Because of this a critics and insults of Polish monarch began, firstly by 3meraldK and then by his closest friends - _xFlyingEagle. Wolk__ also then in June 2020 wasn't too happy to see the situation of Poland.
Because of insulting the King 3meraldK was fired and demoted to Szlachcic, the low-level position in Parliament.
August 2020
The real thoughts about founding a new polish nation were discussed by UndoneArtist, Wolk__, 3meraldK and _xFlyingEagle on so-called "Rada Małopolska" (Council of Lesser Poland), a Discord direct message group. Two founders wanted a free, independent and strong polish competition in south, but it wasn't really possible because of a mutual invader known as Austria. Because of this 3meraldK decided to contact high-positioned royalties and government of Austrian Empire.
September 2020
Talks began in the very start of September. Documents were signed and made and everything was ready. On 6th of September 2020 region of Lesser Poland has declared full sovereignity from Polish Kingdom and few moments later joined to Austria as a vassal.
