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 territories of Poland were controlled in their golden era including modern Poland, west Belarus & Ukraine, and Slovakia. They are very mainly wooded and flat. As Slovakia is located on the 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 the ground of Greater Poland.
This area is also highly urbanized - most of the lands are claimed by cities; compared to a 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 File:Flag of Polish Tasmania.png 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 inhabited 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 (February 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.
Bielsk Podlaski is divided from Poland by the big wall of Austrian planted cities.- Red Ruthenian western part of Slavowice is actually an enclave and borders with
Austria only.
Due to the historical revolutions of File:West Galicia.png 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.
Dependencies
Through the two years of existence Poland had many dependencies.
- The first and the most known one is, still, the colony of File:Flag of Polish Tasmania.png 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 colonizers. 
Zapadoslavia was an independent territory founded by 
TowTomislav in early 2020. Few months later Polish government successfully managed to form an union between Poland and Zapadoslavia, but it broke suddenly. After TowTomislav'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 File:West Galicia.png Western Galicia soon.
Gotland wasn't a dependency, but an autonomous oversea region. 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.- Estonian history of being a Polish vassal is a quite infamous history. An Estonian leader,
KARL has sold 
Estonia to 
dymoslaw, a Polish noble for 350 gold ingots. It lasted few days until Estonia did declare independence again. One week later dymoslaw escaped to Silesia and made a rebel nation there. - Duchy of
Krakovia located under today's Kraków is not even known to almost everyone except of Polish old players which played before 2019. It just can be said that it existed and was vassalized by Poland, for a short period of time. - Duchy of
Silesia which existed a week only, contained two towns, 
Wrocław and 
Wałbrzych. This nation was disbanded after a week and merged with Poland.
Government
Polish political system is a polish monarchy. This brand new idea is a parliamentary monarchy with a constitution and two rulers, which one of them hold Król (King) title, and the second one, called Marszałek, rules in Towny. Practically the second one has more power, but the first one is followed by people and mayors. Polish kings cannot have other real nationality than Polish to take the throne.
- Król title holder is
POGKPP - Towny king is
Night_City, ranked with Marszałek
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).
Military
Polish Kingdom 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 armor and sword/axe. Bows and other weapons are optional, though. When in a war state and combatting, they must obey to generals, marshals and a king. Marszałek armii (not Marszałek) is the leader of army and is selected by rulers.
Diplomacy
Foreign affairs
Hostile
Colonial empire aspirations
There were many Polish plans to colonize certain parts of the world. Only two of them were 100% successful, they were Tasmania, which exists nowadays, and, in the past, New Grenada.
- New Grenada was a second successful Polish colony, which was a nation consisting of two towns located in today's North Venezuela. Alpajino, then recently promoted to an official diplomat of Polish Kingdom, after 3meraldK's retirement, has bought a medium-sized town with his friend, p1tu4, which became a king, for 550 gold ingots in September 2020. After they purchased a nation, they have contacted Polish kings, willing to join as a colony. But their plan originally was, according to Alpajino, to buy for lower price, and sell it for a higher price. After 3 months of colony's existence, they managed to sell their nation with a profit of 350 gold ingots.
- Tasmanian expansion was planned aswell, according to Polish plans, it could expand over very southern Australia, claiming such today's nations as Australia and New South Wales. Although, in the very beginning of Polish presence in Australia, they controlled these lands, but few days later it was gone and Polish claimed Tasmania island only.
- Gambia was the next subject of Polish ambitions to expand their influence. Historically, it was temporarily owned by Polish vassal, Courland. There were many attempts of colonization of Gambia and even more potential colonizers, but it eventually was forgotten.
- Mongolia, or a little part of it, was a planned region to overtake. In EarthMC ancient times, there was player called Dgzee, who made a little village in Mongolia and he has been colonised by Polish Kingdom temporarily, but Dgzee has been kicked due to inactivity.
- North American regions, Alaska and Canada.
- African nations of Namibia and Botswana.
- Bengal was a short-living town founded by jemenik, past Tasmanian leader, located in southern Bangladesh. He wanted to start his EarthMC career again but eventually failed.
Policies
Greater Polish Federation
Complete Polish expansion over declared core claims (declared as full-polish soil lands, which are belonging to Poland for an eternity), consisting of modern Poland, Slovakia, West Ukraine and West Belarus. No territorial complex issues, full sovereignity and hegemony in Central Europe. Enlargement of territorial influence over Baltic states, whole Ukraine, Czechia and Belarus, declared as an additional claims, which should belong to the federation, because they were settled by Poles in the past.
Polonization
Polonization involves the acquisition or imposition of elements of Polish culture mainly, but, rarely the Polish language. Citizens would be educated about Polish history, their traditions and an obeyity to The Government.
History
Before Terra Nova
August 2018
The first plan of establishing an independent Polish nation born in late Autumn 2018. MlecznySernik, also known as Mlecz, has brought this idea on EarthMC and gathered his people to successfully perform this plan. For the first month of its existence it's political system is democracy but changes to an absolute monarchy on 17th September 2018. First co-founders of Poland were al803 today known as Palau, kacp222, panciast, xHyper20 and few less important people.
September 2018
The first problems after proclaiming the Republic of Poland began in September and later. Also, the first enemies appeared - typically, Germany on the west, then owned by Frederick, but also Greater Moravia, rising on the south, Lithuania and Minskan Rus (stereotypical Russia) on the east. As polish nation wasn't known to anyone because of their secret plan, region was claimed mainly by the German Empire, German leaders being unconscious about Polish plan. It will be a trigger to start the German-Polish wars, due to Polish Kingdom which declared their state in German claims. On 9th of September 2018 Poland became an absolute monarchy.
First Polish rebellion
The first polish revolutions have started on 19th of September 2018, as three main personalities have revolted against the power of an absolute monarch and a dictator. They were:
They might rebelled because of dictator's moves towards absolute monarchy and his power greediness. After few hours it eventually failed and perpetrators were jailed.
October 2018
As of early October 2018 map of modern Poland was mostly claimed by foreign nations, because nobody knew about the project of Poland. This element of a creation plan was very important, as a potential enemy couldn't sped up the expansions. But on 7th October 2018 there's a rumor saying Poland will be founded anyway in the short time, because of panciast, the enemy of Mlecz. On 11th October 2018 Polish Kingdom was in a real menace, as their intelligence gathered Prussian documents saying towns will be planted on Polish territory. The former rebels were forgiven on 14th October 2018 and came back to Poland.
Beta tests
In this very short period of one week everyone were planning stuff and preparing for a Terra Nova start. Also in Poland, pressure was high enough and people could not wait for the start. The first and the oldest town is created on 28th October 2018 by Tymek_T and is called Wrocław.
November 2018
Terra Nova officially started at 1:00AM in Polish timezone. Polish people were able to join few hours later, when the map was purely clean and they managed to create all planned towns within few hours of collecting gold. The collection of gold to create Poland also started and effort put was huge, and nine days later, on 9th of November 2018, Poland has been created. People were celebrating in its capital, Gdańsk, firstly made by MlecznySernik.
Second Polish rebellion
This rebellion has begun on 6th of November 2018, after Szczecin and Bornholm, the cities in northwest Poland have joined Denmark, then neutral nation, probably because of corruption. This action has met its consequences - the Polish Kingdom has declared war on Denmark.
Polish-Romanian War
On 18th of November 2018, a Romanian army consisting of few soldiers, including 32Pengun and 32Gold has arrived at Łódź, Poland, and they fought there, which counted as a declaration of war. The cause comes directly from Classic EarthMC - MlecznySernik and 32Gold hated eachother so much. Because after some minutes mayor of Łódź has completely disabled PVP, the battle zone has moved to Allenstein, a town located near East Prussia. At 4:03PM GMT, Danish Army went to help the Polish Army. As the battle went on, 32Gold died many times to the Polish-Danish forces while Pengun78 managed to stay alive for a long time through retreating when being at low health. After 40 minutes, at around 5:00PM GMT, everyone got home to resupply, but 32Gold suddenly appeared in Gdańsk willing to fight. Polish side has won and people celebrated their victory.
On 2nd of December 2018, Romanian high-ranked leader, heat1804, asked for peace and 15 gold ingots should be paid for war reperations, but were not. In this situation, the Polish Kingdom has launched a counter-attack towards Romania, and invaded Bucharest. Casualties were huge and Poles won with a crushing advantage over Romania.
Union with Baltoslavia
In November 2018 Poland tried to sign an union with Minskan Rus but eventually, it ended in failure and unification never happened.
December 2018
The First Great Server War
On the 22nd of December 2018, the nation of the Great Moravian Empire demanded Kosice come back to Slovakia part of GME. The Polish Government declined that proposal and due to this fact, Moravia declared war. Moravians lost in the battle of Kosice after minutes of fighting and then a bunch of Polish soldiers marched toward Prague, but Poles have been defeated despite a numerical advantage. Then a coalition of Moravian allies marched east to Warsaw city. After a tough resistance of defenders, the battle has ended and it was a draw. Poles have lost most battles, and on the 2nd of January 2019, peace was signed. Kosice had to rejoin GME and it could cause an unstability rising in Polish Kingdom, eventually resulting in the first civil war.
January 2019
Mlecz gains power again on the 1st of January 2019 as he comes back from his break. It caused a huge destabilization and decline of polish nation, because few days before then king, xHyper20, officially announced the successor of the throne, which was MlecznySernik, again. It seemed very unfair to polish mayors, who worked hard for the prosperity and general development of Polish Kingdom. Szczecin leaves Poland on 13th January 2019.
Polish - Minskan Rus War
On the 6th of January 2019, the nation of Minskan Rus has demanded to give them the town of Valston again. Poland has declined its proposal again thus Russia declared war. The peace treaty between both sides has never been signed, but Minskan Rus has collapsed so it can be considered as an ended war.
Russian troops attacked Białystok on the 9th of January 2019, and after a short battle, they managed to annex it. Tarnopol town betrays Poland and leaves it. A few hours later polish king convinces Białystok successfully to rejoin Poland.
Polish Civil War
Polish Civil War eventually broke out because of the deletion of Poland by xHyper20 which was taken as an act of betrayal. One hour later Mlecz has talked with xHyper20 and took power in Gdańsk - he established the Pomerania. Enemies of MlecznySernik, including Majoor_, have established Polish State in a return, with the capital being Szczecin. They both were expressing hostile relations with eachother, as one of them would like to gain power in Poland.
After weeks, civil war could be considered as ended, because Polish State had won this, conquering over whole Poland, excluding few non-influential towns and Gdańsk. It eventually collapsed on 23rd of March 2019 after sale of the nation for Danes. Most of Poles were angried and left Polish State.
March 2019
After Polish State's collapse, Intermarium has spotted a chance in expanding westwards after Polish structures were heavily broken by a collapse of rebel state. It caused the formation of the Coalition of Four Nations, including Denmark and Poland, two founding states, and six additional allies.
MlecznySernik, disappointed by situations going on in Poland, left Poland for years, migrating to Borneo island. He sold Gdańsk to Danes and Polish ancient city was captured for weeks.
April 2019
At the beginning of April 2019 a councillor of Szczecin city called POGKPP has bought Gdańsk town which then belonged to Danish high-ranked personality, carrot_b. He started a reborn of new Polish state, because then many Polish towns rejoined Pomerania and Towny nation's name has been changed back to Poland. Mlecz took the throne again on the 13th of April 2019.
Denmark didn't except an escape of Polish towns to Pomerania, therefore they declared war.
dymoslaw's spying operation
Rebel state's collapse caused Polish cities to migrate to one of two nations mainly, they were new Poland, or Pomerania, and Intermarium. Suddenly in the beginning of April 2019, dymoslaw, then spying weeks for Poland in Intermarium, has got his Chancellor role. Surprisingly, he started to destroy the nation internally, by kicking cities out, and demoting people. In results, he caused an ultimate fall of Intermarium for good. He was promised to get Chancellor role in Poland, more known as Magnat, and he did. He also could get on the throne for his achievements, but MlecznySernik refused, thus, dymosław rebelled and established Silesian state.
Battle of Mazovia (29.04.2019)
That battle had place on the 29th of April 2019 in Mazovian region, just next to Warszawa city. It started randomly when Poles gathered in capital, but when raiders came, Poles called their allies, and then the battle started. About 20 soldiers participated in it. Danes won their offensive invasion with an enormous murder count advantage.
May 2019
Polish colonialism
Poles did not plan colonial expansion, but this idea was born with the arrival of a new player on the server, which was jemenik. After a few days of sitting in Kosice he went to Tasmania island and made a new colony under Polish control.
Vassalisation of Estonia
A player called KARL sold Estonia to dymoslaw for 350 gold ingots and Estonia became a Polish vassal, renamed to Polish Estonia. Vassalisation lasted week and eventually they declared independence, this time without Polish reaction.
Separation of Silesia (18th May 2019)
Still angried dymoslaw, which has been betrayed by Mlecz, has decided to rebel against king. Silesian region in Poland, so then it was only Wrocław, rebelled and scammed a Polish ruler for 400 gold ingots. Dymoslaw escaped the nation and made a new one, called Silesia, with his friends. It fell one month later and Wrocław rejoined the Polish Kingdom.
June 2019
Polish Tasmania
Polish aspirations to colonize, which were mainly jemenik's ideas, came real in June 2019. Colonizers were collecting gold and on 2nd of June 2019, they established Polish Tasmania. Initially, except of Tasmania island, they even owned few towns in southeast Australia for a short time.
Roman-Polish War (15th June 2019)
Polish Kingdom, looking for an expansion eastwards, founded Kiev city in Roman claimed land on 15th of June 2019, but it lasted for a short amount of time, due to the Roman raid of few GRE's soldiers, including YellowVictini. Later, battle has moved to Balti city, which is located just under Kiev. War lasted 15 days and the treaty was signed, which demanded Kiev to be disbanded, and the new mutual border was established.
Illegal takeover of power by bartek50b (18th June 2019)
Warsaw has been inactive since May 2019, after xHyper20's official announcement of retiring from EarthMC. He eventually did not log in for 41 days and got his account cleared on 18th of June 2019. bartek50b's, the last standing resident of Warsaw, has gained Towny power and became a threat for Polish Kingdom. Marshal 3meraldK tried to launch an invasion of Warsaw, but it did not happen. After discussions and persuadations, bartek50b finally gave up the power and the perpetrator has been jailed.
Inactive epoch
An amount of 2 months in Polish history are inactive ones. Most of players were not active at all and the total population of Polish Kingdom dropped by 50%. In meantime, ciao000000, then Hungarian leader, declared war on Poland on 16th of July for an unknown reason behind it. Poles came out victorious, with a crushing advantage. Polish noble named _xFlyingEagle has been promoted in Parliament and became mayor of Kopanica, located in today's Berlin.

Because of this, 3meraldK, a very important Polish noble has secretly planned a rebellion of the southern region of Poland. 3meraldK and Wolk__, both Kings of West Galicia planned to declare sovereignty from any state (doing on its own) but it couldn't happen, because they were afraid of an offensive Austrian Empire.
