Miedzymorze at its greatest extent

The nation of **Miedzymorze** was a nation in Europe lead by King BananaManCan. The nation, which would become the largest in Europe, was one of the most powerful countries on the server during it's first month of existence. Boasting a massive army, population, and claims, it became the dominant power in Europe, only being threatened by the Galactic Republic.

Eventually, however, Miedzymorze began to lose land and influence to the Galactic Republic to the west, and Soviet Union to the east, as the 2 nations struggled for power in Europe. BananaManCan would leave Poland on Self-Exile, and transfer the crown to David33333, who would form the Kingdom of Poland.

## History

### Formation

Poland got its beginnings on February 13th, 2020, when BananaManCan created a nation for his small town of Warsaw. It was dwarfed in size by the nearby Norsegard and Republic of Holland, but the test of time would prove Poland to triumph over both of those nations. Poland gained its first extra town when New Hamburg, a town lead by seagloof, AKA Pidgey, joined the nation. More and more members eventually flocked to this young nation, which brought it up off its feet.

### Expansion and Conflict with Noresgard

Some troubled times began with Poland beginning with the nation's annexation of the region of Königsberg, a town which was also claimed by Norsegard. The two nations would continually compete for land and people, until Norsegard's eventual downfall. That downfall came when the town of Berlin in Germany was created, and instead of joining Norsegard, it joined Poland, which it is still in to this day. Seeing itself losing its grip on power in Germany, Norsegard collapsed into just Norway, which wouldn't last either as Oslo would soon be annexed by the Teutonic Order, which would also collaspe.

### Conflict with Lithuania

Other strife came with the expansion of Königsberg into what was then seen as Lithuanian territory. Chancellor KingRed would also repeatedly try to push his luck on claiming the region of Lithuania as Polish territory, in order to form a Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth (PLC), which Lithuania strongly refused. After a case of fraud from former Warsaw citizen WucrewYT, which was to frame KingRed for angrily messaging Tirecope, the leader of Lithuania, about PLC, and even claiming the Banana as a bad leader and the Polish throne for himself, tensions really rose between the two nations. Despite all of this, Banana managed to calm the situation by setting a boundary with Lithuania, and making sure no pushes on the Lithuanian land were to be made after that point.

### Race for Lithuania

Despite what was previous statement, the Poles would eventually push for an annexation of Lithuanian land, due to the members becoming inactive. The Soviet Union, which also sought to expand its territory westward towards Poland, saw this as an opportunity to conquer the Baltic. An agreement was made between the two nations in which the Soviets would obtain Tallinn and Riga, and the Poles would obtain Kaunas. Eventually, the Soviet Union would buy the region of West Latvia from Poland for $3,500. Around the same time, Ireland would leave the nation.

### Decline and Transfer of the Crown

Eventually, Konigsberg left Poland due to Banana's inactivity. At this time, Poland seemed to be crumbling, and the Soviets saw this opportunity to create a buffer between it and the Galactic Republic, along with a Socialist Ally. Banana would not allow this. However, he eventually offered the crown to Pip, who declined and his friend, David33333 became the new King of Poland. The transfer of the crown from Banana's House of Hamburg to the Latvian-Based House of Riga would spell the end for **Miedzymorze**, which would be reformed into the Kingdom of Poland.

## International Relations

After all of its tensions went away, Poland saw an unforeseen rise in power. Its population, land claims, and influence increased exponentially, to the point of becoming the second largest nation, only behind that of the Great Qing. However, this rise was to come with a cost, as being accepted into the nation was Ireland, and thus Whomsty\_Boi. This would eventually cause a lot of debate between Qing citizens and Poles over Whomsty's Polish citizenship, as he would repeatedly engage in petty arguments. Banana, however, was having none of it. He would then go to tell Whomsty that if any more petty arguments were to occur, he would be kicked out. Realizing what was at stake, Whomsty then promptly stopped his actions, preventing further annoyance of the people of the server. This debate would quickly end shortly after, as Whomsty slowly started becoming more accepted as a Polish citizen, and less of an annoyance.
