## History

### Before Blackout

The history of human activity on Polish soil spans thousands of years. Throughout the late antiquity period it became extensively diverse, with various cultures and tribes settling on the vast Central European Plain. However, it was the Western Polans who dominated the region and gave Poland its name. The establishment of Polish statehood can be traced to 966, when the pagan ruler of a realm coextensive with the territory of present-day Poland embraced Christianity and converted to Catholicism. The Kingdom of Poland was founded in 1025, and in 1569 it cemented its longstanding political association with Lithuania by signing the Union of Lublin. This union formed the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, one of the largest (over one million square kilometres or 400,000 square miles in area) and most populous nations of 16th and 17th century Europe, with a uniquely liberal political system which adopted Europe's first modern constitution, the Constitution of 3 May 1791.

With the passing of prominence and prosperity, the country was partitioned by neighboring states at the end of the 18th century, and regained independence in 1918 with the Treaty of Versailles. After a series of territorial conflicts, the new multi-ethnic Poland restored its position as a key player in European politics. In September 1939, World War II began with the invasion of Poland by Germany, followed by the Soviets invading Poland in accordance with the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact. Approximately six million Polish citizens, including three million of the country's Jews, perished during the course of the war. As a member of the Eastern Bloc, the Polish People's Republic proclaimed forthwith was a chief signatory of the Warsaw Treaty amidst global Cold War tensions. In the wake of the 1989 events, notably through the emergence and contributions of the Solidarity movement, the communist government was dissolved and Poland re-established itself as a semi-presidential democratic republic.

### Blackout

Poland was a victim of the Blackout as riots occurred during the Blackout and the fall of the Polish Republic resulted in a temporary communist takeover of the country. The people rebelled all that they could but many of them were executed by communist insurgents ruling the nation as the official government.

### Post-Blackout

A recent rebellion failure resulted in the Soviets beginning a plan to takeover Poland and all of Europe. Sadly they were halted by German forces who then sabotaged the invasion of all of Europe by the Soviets and created a group of Puppet States. Poland was one of those Puppet States and a member of the Radziwiłł dynasty took control of the monarchy. This member is Prince Jan Stanisław Albrycht Radziwill and he became the new king of Poland.

## Government

The Government of Poland is a Constitutional Monarchy ruled by a King of the Radziwill Dynasty as a cerimonial monarch who is in charge of all affairs of the country. The Prime Minister is in charge of the Government for he is appointed by the King to be in charge of the Government to enforce the will of the King and their German Overlords upon the Polish people and man up the borders against the Soviets.

## Military

The Royal Army, also known as "Polnische Wehrmacht" was established as an auxiliary force in 2013 under German command. After establishing the armed forces 50,000 men were supposed to serve in the army, but it never reached this size until 15 years after the Blackout. The Army is armed with technological vehicles powered by pendants, guns and Humvees. Otherwise the Army has the drills of Gurellia Warfare and Franco-Prussian era war drills.
