Other major [[List of cities and towns in Polonias|cities]] include [[Martynovo]], [[Vloclavek]], [[Kolobreg]], and [[Gniazdo]]. | ||
== History == | ==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=== | |||
[[File:Colonial extent of the Polonium Magnas.png|thumb|left|The 1620 possessions of [[Magna Polonia]].|202x202px]]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 traded 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 [[Viktorovo|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 abolishing the Magna Polonia system in 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 David Pulpet 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. | |||
== | === Modern Polonias === | ||
After a highly contested election in 1701, which would see a victory for the far-right "Konfederacja" party, [[Revolution of 1701|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. At the insistince of the [[Sejmik]], the Congress of Martynovo would be held by the military in 1702, which would lay out the plans for radical reforms and the amendment of a new consitution. | |||
== | In 1703, the first phase of the plans from the Congress would be enacted, with the Free City of Viktorovo officially expanding 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. | ||
===Jewish Insurgency=== | |||
The local Jewish population at the time had many disagreements on the functioning of the state, with the [[Jewish Workers Bunt]] staging a [[Jewish Insurgency in Polonias|low-level insurgency]] in 1731 in the [[Polnoc Voivodstvo]]. As of today the conflict remains localised between the combatants. | |||
==Geography== | |||
Polonias is located in northern [[Keltia]] between the latitudes 68° and 72° N and the longitudes 77° and 80° W, with a total area of 84,489km2, roughly similar in size to Azerbaijan. The country has no poin which is over 500 meters above sea level, meaning it has not mountains. The southern border with [[the Green]] is largely hilly with no mountains. | |||
Polonias currently uses only one time zone time zone due to its size, with CMT-5 being used in the country. | |||
===Climate=== | |||
Most of Polonias has a temperate climate, despite its southern latitude, with largely four distinct seasons and mild temperatures throughout the year. The winter in the north is cold but is manifested only through some longer periods with snow and sub-zero temperatures. The southern parts of the country have a subarctic climate. | |||
== Economy== | |||
{{Main|Economy of Polonias}} | |||
The economy of Polonias is mostly based arround seaports, with it being the main economic activity in Polonias. Despite effort to diversify, particularly into the agrocultural industry, seafood exports, and tourism, revenue from ports which make operating revenue and fees from businesses and tenants who lease their facilities continue to account for approximately half of all foreign exchange earnings. | |||
Renewable energy produces the vast majority of Electrical Power consumed in Polonias, mostly due to its windy climate and cheap land. This has the effect of drastically reducing the price of electricity in Polonias, and has attracted several energy-intensive industries, such as millitary factories and steel mills. | |||
Aluminum Smelting (The reduction of Aluminum ores to Aluminum metal) is the largest energy-intensive manufacturing sector in Polonias, with the country producing over 800,000 Metric Tonnes per Year in 1730, making it the 12th largest producer of Aluminum metal worldwide. | |||
=== Tourism=== | |||
Tourism plays a significant role in the economies of many Keltian countries, including Polonias. In 1730, the country was visited by over 500 thousand people with tourism revenues amounting to 350 million zlotys. The development of the tourism sector of the economy was hampered by [[the Revolution of 1701]], which forced many airlines and cruise lines to shut down their traffic into the nation temporarily. Tourist infrastructure significantly impacts tourism development, which is why the Ministry of Tourism was established in 1699. Most revenue generated from tourism was gained from accommodation and catering facilities, other tourist facilities, and the communication network. Tourist infrastructure in Poland is still developing, with a new airport being announced to be built near Viktorovo. | |||
==Foreign relations== | |||

Polonias is currently applying for the accession of Polonias to the Raspur Pact, with the application from the government of Polonias being submitted in 1730AN. Polonias what later admitted the same year. By joining the Raspur Pact, Polonias also automatically became a party to the [[Hurmu–Raspur Pact Free Trade Agreement]], thereby opening up relations with the [[Order of the Holy Lakes]] ([[Hurmu]]). | |||

Polonias or the Polonias Republic (Polonian: Republica Polonias) is a unrecognised country in Keltia. It is divided into three administrative provinces called Vojvodstvo. Covering an area of 67 536 km2, Polanias has a relatively small population of only 356 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.
