Polonias (Polonian: Полониас), or the Polonias Republic (Polonian: Полониас Републица) is a country in Corum. It is divided into three administrative provinces called Войводство (Vojvodstvo), covering an area of 67 536 km2. Polanias has a population of only 137 thousand. Viktorovo is the nation's capital and the only city with a population above 50 thousand. Other major cities include Martynovo, Vloclavek, Kolobreg, and Gniazdo.
History
In 1612 AN Polonian settlers arrived on Hypernostria, establishing the new town of Victorovo. Originally conceived as a modest settlement, Viktorovo evolved into a trading outpost near the coast and a minor town, prospering from the fishing industry.
In the year 1626, the locals of iktorovodeclared 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 military coup with the help of the population was launched by the Army and Navy, deposing the newly formed government and replacing it with a military interim government.
In 1710 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 accommodate the five major cities that were established in the wake of expansion.
