Nowa Polska

The **Polish People’s Soviet Republic**, commonly known as **Nowa Polska**, is a state in Central Asia. It is bordered by the Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic to the south, the Republic of Kazakhstan in the east, the Qostanai Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic to the west and the West Russian Revolutionary Front to the north.

The nation is led both by Polish refugees who fled Europe and Poles who had been forcibly removed from Polish territories by Joseph Stalin. Polish troops who had been conscripted into the Red Army coalesced around General Michał Rola-Żymierski during the Eastern Retreat of the Red Army as the front against the German army collapsed.

### History

#### German-Soviet War

As German armies advanced deep into Soviet territories, much of the Red Army went eastwards - either being ordered to or simply fleeing in the face of Nazi troops. One such group of the Red Army was the Polish Army, a group of Polish fighters which was hobbled together in a desperate move by the Soviets to combat the German invasion.

This army, led by Michał Rola-Żymierski, took matters into their own hands upon the death of Joseph Stalin and the chaos that ensued. Rola-Żymierski settled his men in northern Kazakhstan, where many Polish people had either fled to or been resettled to by Soviet authorities. Despite Poles in the region being the minority, as Kazakhstan fell apart in a civil war, Rola-Żymierski was able to use his army to take advantage and declare the 'Polish People's Soviet Republic'.

Despite declaring this republic, Rola-Żymierski had little interest in staying in Kazakhstan, simply seeing it as a means with which to retain a Polish identity for their eventual return to their homelands. The Kazakhstan majority wasn't mistreated, though they were generally overlooked for roles in the makeshift government, with Poles and Ukrainians - another minority within Kazakhstan - often being selected over natives.

#### Tensions with Qostanai

The proclamation of the PPSR caused many Germans who had been forcibly deported by Stalin to Kazakhstan to fear once again for their lives. They fled westwards to the Qostanai Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, a state similar to the PPSR in which the German minority rose to create their own nation under Lieutenant General Nikolai Gagen.
Despite the hatred felt by the PPSR towards the QASSR, the overarching protection of the WSSR offered to the German nation led to the two nations remaining at peace.

#### Refugee influx

In the aftermath of the First Polish Uprising, many millions of Poles were deported from the General Governorate of the Vistula to the Ural and Moskowien Reichskommissariat's. Of these millions, many died during the transportation or due to the severe conditions they faced in the new land. However, many tens-of-thousands were lucky enough to escape eastwards into the West Russian Revolutionary Front and, through there, to the **Polish People’s Soviet Republic**. This expanded the Polish population in the PPSR, squeezing the already marginalised Kazakh majority out further, seeing the population of the Republic stay relatively static as, despite the large influx of refugees, many Kazakhs fled south to the KSSR or east to the Republic of Kazakhstan.

The **Polish People’s Soviet Republic**, commonly known as **Nowa Polska**, is a state in Kazakhstan. It is bordered by the Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic to the south, the Republic of Kazakhstan in the east, the Qostanai Democratic Republic to the west and the Ob Military District to the north.

### History

#### West Russian War

In 1953, following the economic crash suffered by the Greater Germanic Reich, the West Russian Revolutionary Front launched a mass assault across the Ural Mountains into the Reichskommissariat's of Moskowien and Ural - seeking to liberate lands previously taken during the German-Soviet War. Hoping this would be their best opportunity to liberate Polish lands, the PPSR took part in the war.

Despite being one of the best performing armies in the war, the war failed overall to liberate beyond the Northern Dvina and Volga rivers.
