Covering an area of 67 536 km2, Polanias has a population of only 137 thousand. The capital of Polonias is Viktorovo, and is the only city with a population above 50 thousand. Other major cities include Martynovo, Vloclavek, Kolobreg, and Gniazdo.

History

Indigenous peoples

The first inhabitants of the region we now call Polonias migrated from modern-day northern territories of the Hexarchy at least 2,000 years ago. The Torun culture, which appeared around 1400AN, is believed to be the first widespread culture in the region. Over time, indigenous cultures grew increasingly sophisticated, and some, developed agriculture, architecture, and complex societies.

Polonian colonization

The 1620 possessions of Magna Polonia.

Sebastian Wyrwidąb first began exploring the peninsula in 1492, leading to Polonian settlements in present-day Gorskiy, Trauna, and The Underdark.

While the settlers experienced conflicts with the natives, they also partook in trade with them, exchanging medieval tools for food and animal pelts. The colonial authorities often pursued policies that forced natives to adopt their lifestyles, including conversion to the Church of the Most Holy Mary.

The original Magna Polonia that would later be found in the Free City of Victorovo were administered by regional lords called pijachta and had local governments with elections open to most property owners. The colonial population would begin to grow significantly, surprising Native populations by the 1620s.

In 1612 the settlers would establish the port of Victorovo, which would rapidly grow into the main economic hub of the region. Due to its strategic placement, its income from ports would eclipse the profits from the fishing industry.

The Free City of Victorovo

After the abolishment of the Magna Polonia system, in the year 1626, the locals of Viktorovo declared the Free City of Victorovo, uniting the land owned by the ruling pijachta and sizable land around it. The newly formed city-state would emerge as a strategic port town, earning sizable revenue from their ship taxation policies. After the proclamation of the city-state, many wealthy landowners would attempt to secede from the nation, lessening the central government's power. Further attempts to annex the lands which seceded back into the nation would fail after a key representative was shot by an angry mob.

In 1676, the newly elected Prime Minister initiated a strategic expansion project, which would plan to expand the nation's boundaries beyond the City-States' small borders. The proposed project involved dispatching settlers along the coastal regions, expelling the natives and tasking settlers with establishing new communities. The project was later approved, which would allow the country to expand further into lands owned by the natives.

After a highly contested election in 1701, which would see a victory for the far-right "Konfederacja" party, A revolution with the help of the Army was launched by the political opposition, deposing the newly formed government and replacing it with a military interim government.

In 1703 The Free City of Viktorovo officially expanded its borders, proclaiming the Polonias Republicas with it. To accommodate this growth, two new administrative divisions were established to harbour the five major cities that were established in the wake of expansion.

Geography

Polonias as a nation is located on the northern end of the Keltian continent, with its population centers situated on or near its coastlines and rivers. The country is characterised by its flatlands and hills.

Foreign relations

Polonias has no official relation with any other nation and is part of no multi-national organisation. The main goal of Polonia's Foreign relations is to gain recognition from surrounding countries.

Armed Forces

The Armed Forces of the Polonias Republic is the main term for the Polonian army, divided into Land Forces, Special Forces and Navy. Their main task is to defend Polonias borders against external attacks. The Armed Forces number approximately 6,000 soldiers in active service.

According to the Annual Military Report from the Central Committee (1728 AN), the Armed Forces have an annual defence budget of 200 million Zloty.

The Navy is responsible for the defence of the coast and territorial waters. The beginning of Polonia's military and naval presence in the Baltic Sea dates back to 1636 AN, while modern Polish naval forces were established after the Navy Modernisation Act was passed in 1714.
