The first inhabitants of the region we now call Polonias migrated from modern-day northern territories of [[the Hexarchy]] across at least 2,000 years ago. The Torun culture, which appeared around 1400AN, is believed to be the first widespread culture in the region.

History
Indigenous peoples
The first inhabitants of the region we now call Polonias migrated from modern-day northern territories of the Hexarchy across 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
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 Native Americans, they also engaged in trade, exchanging medival 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 found 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 grew rapidly, surpasing Native populations by the 1620's.
In 1612 AN 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, it's income from ports would eclipse the profits from the fishing industry.
The Free City of Victorovo
In the year 1626, the locals of Viktorovo declared the Free City of Victorovo, hoping to unite the small settlements around it. The newly formed city-state would emerge as a bustling port town, forming the groundwork for later economic and political development.
In 1676, the newly elected Polonian Prime Minister initiated a strategic expansion project, which would expand the nation's boundaries beyond the City-States's small borders. The proposed project involved dispatching settlers along the coastal regions, expelling the natives to other regions and tasking settlers with establishing new communities. The project was later approved by the Sejmik, which would allow the country to expand.
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.
