On May 2nd, the third Polish town was founded, named Lublin. Then, on May 4th, around 7pm CEST, the nation of Poland was officially created, with Cracow selected as the first capital.
The Reconquest of Warsaw
Recent history
Since the reconquest of Warsaw, Poland experienced a period of expansion and growth. On August 11th, the nation signed an alliance treaty with the nation of Khazar. Eight days later, the first session of the Polish parliament took place in the Silesian Parliament building in Katowice. On September 2nd, under the terms of the alliance treaty with Khazar, Poland declared war on Kushan. The war with Kushan ended on September 7th. Following the reconquest of Warsaw, on September 24th, the capital was formally transferred. In preparation for the EMC World Cup, Poland joined FIFA.
War with Silesia
On October 31st, 2022, King KrisusQ of Poland issued an ultimatum to Silesia, after they started to manipulate Polish mayors into joining Silesia. The ultimatum called for the payment of a weekly tax and to become a Polish puppet state. Silesia's queen, Przaja_Kartoflom, refused this demand, resulting in a declaration of war by Poland on the same day at 19:30 CEST. Initially, several major nations such as Khazar and Yukon declared their support for Poland. However, Poland declined their offers of any Material or Human aid. On November 5th, 2022, one official battle was fought near the towns of Kielce and Katowice, which was won by Poland. Following the war's conclusion, Silesia and Poland engaged in negotiations, with Poland eventually recognizing Silesia as part of the Kingdom. This led to the Polish-Austrian war
War with the Austrian Empire
On April 5th, 2023, at 11:30 AM CEST, King KrisusQ of Poland declared a defensive war against the Austrian Empire, claiming that the Austrians had violated Poland's borders illegally. The Austrians, however, countered by stating that the Polish were interested in the annexation of Silesia, a region recently united with the Austrians, forming the Empire. This development led to a conflict between the two nations, and the Austrians subsequently occupied the town of Wilkowyje, located just 20 chunks away from Warsaw. It is worth noting that the two sides rarelly engage in any actual fighting.
Slovak Vassalization
After receiving the necessary funds from Polish sources, Libor2, who would later become the King of Slovakia, agreed to establish a new nation that would be a de facto vassal state to Poland. The capital of this new country would be Presov, a city that was previously part of the Kingdom of Poland.
