Poland

Flag of Poland

**Poland** (sometimes known as "**Old Poland**"), is a nation located in Central Europe. It borders CEGA, Belarus, Ukraine and the Baltic Union also as Slovakia. Poland has underwent numerous conflicts since 2035, much of fighting during world war three was done in Poland and a large portion of the polish population was exterminated after world war three. The Poles reorganized themselves and striked back during World War 4, marching on Saint Petersburg and depopulating the Russian Northwest. Currently, Poland is under going a rapid liberalization and reformation abandoning much of revanchist ideology.

## History

Poland became a ally of the US after overthrowing the communist regime in 1989, ever since Poland joined NATO in 2000 the 2 countries worked closely as Poland served as a strategic ally for NATO. Poland in 2024 found itself once again electing a member of the Law and Justice Party for president Dominik Tarczyński. Tarczyński continued the policies of previous government distancing poland further from the progressive European Union, however one of Europe's most advanced transit systems was developed under him. Tarczyński lost the 2028 Presidential elections to Mariusz Max Kolonko a candidate from "Poland United". The parliament also fell into hands of Poland United party which began to revert much of Law and Justice reforms but still kept Poland distanced from European Union instead Kolonko improved the relations between Poland and America. In 2031 a 1 year long conscription was put into law as Poland began to arm itself due to a growing Eurasian threat.

### Revanchist Era

In 2035 world war three started and in 2036 Poland was invaded by Russian armies, for 6 months Poland resisted the brutal hordes from the east before Warsaw eventually fell and Russians swept Poland. During this 6 months long fight over Warsaw the Eurasians were humiliated which in turn led them to carrying out one of largest genocides in history. The "Vistula flows red" is what people said during the said genocide as for a short period of time parts of the Vistula river became red from the amount of blood flowing from it as many of Poles, freshly killed and still bleeding were thrown into the river. The events of Red Vistula gave birth to Polish Revanchism which advocated for revenge against Eurasians, the said movement developed from 2040s to 2050s at the same time as the Church of Phoenix a radical split from Catholicism which directly supported the ideas of polish revanchists. In 2066 the polish revanchists supported by FATES seized what used to be their own nation taken away by the Eurasians. The Russians who didn't leave Poland during the initial stages of the war were now wiped to the ground with most brutal means possible.

The Russian soldiers who were leaving Poland often saw crucified civilians or entire piles of massacred bodies laying everywhere. The revanchists took an active part in fighting the Eurasians all across eastern Europe while continuing the atrocities in there, from 2070 to 2071 the revanchist forces pushed towards St. Petersburg which led to Russia firing its nuclear arsenal and causing a nuclear winter but this didn't stop the revanchists who still marched on St. Petersburg and caused the depopulation of northwestern Russia leaving no civilian alive. In 2081 Alfred Lorenc the leader of revanchists formed the National Council of Poland a advisory body, this decision was largely influenced by FATES. In 2084 following the fall of Eurasia the state of New Poland was formed in North-Western Russia. What was Poland before was now named "Old Poland" to differ from "New Poland".

### Post Revanchist Era

As World War Four ended thousands of polish diaspora members flocked to Old Poland, this led to the weakening of Revanchism in Old Poland which was soon to be replaced by more moderate "restoration-ism" which was largely supported by France and FATES. In 2085 Alfred Lorenc died from natural causes which led to his son Albert Lorenc succeeded him, one of first decisions of Albert was to suspend the Council which led to a revolution in Old Poland against his rule. The Lorenc family was forced to flee to New Poland starting the cold war between New and Old Poland's . Stanisław Piotrkowicz the leader of restorationists was named the Chairman of the National Council which made him the de-facto head of state, Piotrkowicz initiated the national restoration of Polish culture bringing back countless works of art and reconstructing cities all across old Poland. Piotrkowicz in 2090 was assassinated by a Lorenc family sympathizer, this nearly causes a break out of a war between New Poland and Old Poland which was only stopped with French intervention.

Władysław Kamysz a restorationist technocrat was made the new Chairman of the Council and started to make massive investments in development of education and polish universities. In 2094 Władysław Kamysz resigned from his office and Jan Kosiniak a member of the restorationist national-liberal faction. Kosiniak got rid of censorship in Old Poland and allowed elections on regional level. He also fought with technates, large corporate monopolies created by Kamysz and ran by the scientific elite of Old Poland and instead replaced them with private enterprises ran by investors. Kosiniak in 2100 met with leadership of New Poland which with 2 sides lifting economic sanctions on each other.
