Poland

Poland, officially the Republic Of Poland is a country in Central Europe. It's capital is Warsaw.
==History==
After the Second World War, Poland was taken back from Germany by the Soviet Union; the Soviets have turned Poland into a communist satellite state, known as Polish People's Republic (Polska Rzeczypospolita Ludowa). One of Polish People's Republic heads of state, Edward Gierek, desired to make communist Poland into an atomic superpower - thus, he manufactured a device known as the Desolator Cannon in a secret compound in the Bieszczady mountains, but was unable to finish it, and the entire compound was shut down and left to rot after his term as the First Secretary of Polish People's Republic has ended.
Poles were instrumental in causing the downfall of communism in Europe; Poland was the first country to break out of the shackles of communism, thanks to the Solidarność protests, growing outrage at the system - and especially Wojciech Jaruzelski, Poland's dictator - and the efforts of the Polish pope, John Paul the Second, to remove communism from his homeland. Thus, in 1989, Poland became a democratic country, no longer a part of the Comintern. Wojciech Jaruzelski escaped the country, and the Solidarność member Lech Wałęsa was put in charge as the president.
During the Third World War, Poland was the first country to be attacked by the revenge-hungry Soviets, as it was the first European country to border the Soviet Union; Poles fought bravely but lost; the last city in Poland to fall being the coastal city of Gdańsk. In the Soviet-occupied Poland, Gierek's compound was reactivated and Jaruzelski started working on the before being stopped by Nicolas Alceste.
As 1991 rolled around, Poland was taken back by NATO forces. Poland itself joined NATO in 1999, eight years after the war's end.
