Poland, officially the Polish Social Nationalist Republic is a country in central europe, it is devided into 14 voivodeships and 4 Krajs. Poland has a population of 40 Milion. Warsaw is the nation's capital and largest metropolis. Other major cities include Kraków, Kaliningrad, Łódź, Poznań, Gdańsk, and Lwów. Poland has a temperate transitional climate and its territory traverses the Central European Plain, extending from Baltic Sea in the north to Sudeten and Carpathian Mountains in the south. The longest Polish river is the Vistula, and Poland's highest point is Mount Rysy, situated in the Tatra mountain range of the Carpathians. The country is bordered by European Commonwealth and Russia (Unclaimed) to the northeast, Slovakia (unclaimed) and Romania to the south, and Germany and Sorbia to the west. It also shares maritime boundaries with Norway-Sweden and European Commonwealth. The history of human activity on Polish soil dates to circa 10,000 BC. Culturally diverse throughout late antiquity, the region became inhabited by tribal Polans who gave Poland its name in the early medieval period. The establishment of statehood in 966 coincided with a pagan ruler of the Polans converting to Christianity under the auspices of the Roman Church. The Kingdom of Poland emerged in 1025 and in 1569 cemented its longstanding association with Lithuania, thus forming the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. It was one of the great powers of Europe at the time, with a uniquely liberal political system that adopted Europe's first modern constitution in 1791. With the passing of a prosperous Polish Golden Age, the country was partitioned by neighbouring states at the end of the 18th century and regained its independence in 1918 as the Second Polish Republic. In September 1939, the German-Soviet invasion of Poland marked the beginning of World War II, which resulted in the Holocaust and millions of Polish casualties. As a member of the Communist Bloc in the global Cold War, the Polish People's Republic was a founding signatory of the Warsaw Pact. Poland then under the influence of the Solidarity movement transitioned into a temporary democratic western government which spanned from 1989-2027 until the Ziółkowski coup. Poland is a semi-parliamentary republic, with its legislature comprising the Sejm only. It is a developed market and a high income economy. It provides high standards of living, safety and economic freedom, as well as free university education and a universal health care system. Poland is a founding member state of the Alternative United Nations, as well as a founding member of the CECA and the New Warsaw pact.

Etymology
The native Polish name for Poland is Polska. The name is derived from the Polans, a West Slavic tribe who inhabited the Warta River basin of present-day Greater Poland region (6th–8th century CE). The tribe's name stems from the Proto-Slavic noun pole meaning field, which in-itself originates from the Proto-Indo-European word *pleh₂- indicating flatland. The etymology alludes to the topography of the region and the flat landscape of Greater Poland. The English name Poland was formed in the 1560s, from German Pole(n) and the suffix -land, denoting a people or nation. Prior to its adoption, the Latin form Polonia was widely used throughout medieval Europe. The country's alternative archaic name is Lechia and its root syllable remains in official use in several languages, notably Hungarian, Lithuanian, and Persian. The exonym possibly derives from either Lech, a legendary ruler of the Lechites, or from the Lendians, a West Slavic tribe that dwelt on the south-easternmost edge of Lesser Poland. The origin of the tribe's name lies in the Old Polish word lęda (plain). Initially, both names Lechia and Polonia were used interchangeably when referring to Poland by chroniclers during the Middle Ages.

Before the Third Republic
"See: History of Poland"

Third Polish Republic
A shock therapy program, initiated by Leszek Balcerowicz in the early 1990s, enabled the country to transform its socialist-style planned economy into a market economy. As with other post-communist countries, Poland suffered temporary declines in social, economic, and living standards, but it became the first post-communist country to reach its pre-1989 GDP levels as early as 1995, largely due to its booming economy. Poland became a member of the Visegrád Group in 1991, and joined NATO in 1999. Poles then voted to join the European Union in a referendum in June 2003, with Poland becoming a full member on 1 May 2004, following the consequent enlargement of the organisation.

Poland joined the Schengen Area in 2007, as a result of which, the country's borders with other member states of the European Union were dismantled, allowing for full freedom of movement within most of the European Union. On 10 April 2010, the President of Poland Lech Kaczyński, along with 89 other high-ranking Polish officials died in a plane crash near Smolensk, Russia.

In 2011, the ruling Civic Platform won parliamentary elections. In 2014, the Prime Minister of Poland, Donald Tusk, was chosen to be President of the European Council, and resigned as prime minister. The 2015 and 2019 elections were won by the conservative Law and Justice Party (PiS) led by Jarosław Kaczyński, resulting in increased Euroscepticism and increased friction with the European Union. In December 2017, Mateusz Morawiecki was sworn in as the new Prime Minister, succeeding Beata Szydlo, in office since 2015. President Andrzej Duda, supported by Law and Justice party, was narrowly re-elected in the 2020 presidential election. Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022 led to 6.9 million Ukrainian refugees arriving in Poland which resulted in anti-Ukrainian sentiment to grain traction in Poland due to the fact the PiS government was blamed for economic downturn and further benefits for Ukrainians at the expense of the Polish population. In the subsequent years the United National Party lead by Hubert Ziółkowski and Tamara Vlasov gained traction and in the mid 2020's presidential election Hubert Ziółkowski became the main opposition candidate with large influence over the republic via the ZZ and GS. The fundamental disagreements within the sejm which was split between the Pis-PO coallition and the UNP-Konfederacja coalition caused for political gridlock and further economic downturn and instability, in mid-late 2020's the instability would reach its peak and it was commonplace to see politically motivated street fights as well as army desertions and rebellions. In late mid-late 2020's with the support of the armed forced and allegedly the Russian Federation Hubert Ziółkowski orchastrated a coup on the Polish government and announced the Fourth Polish Republic, dubbed and then later officially called the Polish Social Nationalist Republic.

Fourth Polish Republic
The new Polish Republic faced many issues at its creation, despite now total control over the country the economy proved hard to stabilise especially in the midst of a world recession. Ziółkowski spent most of his time trying to influence the new government into follwing the policy of Fiscal Federalism and pragmatism but with little success. Fortunately for the populance of Poland due to the isolation Poland faced after the coup the economy was able to naturally develop into an autarky due to the neccesity of it being one, the only largely imported goods came from the now weakening Russia which could supply less and less each year, This caused Poland to pursue policies of domestic production and whilst the rest of the world was facing a worldwide reccesion Poland was able to experience small but still positive economic growth. In the early years of the Fourth Republic Panslavist policies were dominant but after the collapse of the Russian Federation in late 2020's the Ziółkowskiist faction within the government decided to ditch the policy and instead focus on anti-liberalism, anti-neo conservatism and pragmatist balance of influence which was Ziółkowski's conception from the start. This lead to Tamara Vlasov organising a minor officers revolt in lower silesia, the ZZ found out about this plot and started attacking Tammyist stronholds. This lead to a 13 day civil war where Tammyist sympathisers were harrased and sometimes even killed and therefore retalitated, thankfully for the Tammyists The German Federal republic was also collapsing due to the Russian supply of gas suddently stopping and this allowed for Tammyist forces to occupy and establish the Republic of Sorbia. Most of late 2020's to early 2030's were spent fighting skirmishes and different offensives on the border with sorbia as well as establishing relations with the North Germans including the Pomerania exchange, ultimately in early 2030's the treaty of Zgorzelec was signed, establishing the modern borders with Sorbia and North Germany. However this wasnt the last of Poland issues as in mid 2030's the Belorussian revolt happened leading to a war between Poland and the democratic opposition in Belarus, Lithuania and Volhynia which lasts as a frozen conflict to this day, suprisingly the republic of Sorbia supported Poland in this war on multiple occasions which lead to the positive relations between the two nowadays and on the other hand the European Commonwealth's support for the democratic rebellion lead to the Polish-European Rivalry.

Government and politics
The Polish Social Nationalist Republic is a Semi-Federal Semi-Parliamentary Authoritarian Republic. The Fiscal set of laws put forward and administered by the government is dictated by voivodeships and the minister of economy who is elected out of a group of economists of each political leaning every 7 years. The Cultural laws are dictated top down from the central government under the leadership of the Kultokrat except for the autonomous krajs of Kalinigrad, Silesia, Kashubia and Lithuania who have their own Kultokrat's in charge of those regions cultural laws. Foreign and international policy is shared by the Kultokrat of the biggest nation within the Republic (in this case Poland and so Hubert Ziółkowski) and the Minister of War (Witold Baśiński) who work together to determine Polish decisions on the international stage. A Kultokrat of a Kraj or of a nation is appointed by the previous Kultokrat (or the position is established, as in the case of Hubert Ziółkowski) and each Kultokrat must abide by the basic provisions which are written and ratified as the constitution of The Polish Social Nationalist Republic.

Poland's legistlative assembly is the Sejm, it has only one branch and consists of 460 steats, with 1 being reserved for the Minister of economy and 9 for the Kultokrat's ministers, whilst 450 are representatives of each powiat and voivodeship. Each powiat elects a representative via optional preferential voting system, and each voivodeship elects a representative via optional preferential voting system, with the powiat representatives voting for the voivodeship representative. The sejm doesnt have a set date or frequency of meetings and instead it meets up to adress and vote on national fiscal policy whenever a proposal from the minister of economy or another sejm member arises. The minister of economy can veto legistlation and the judiciary can (upon request) from the Kultokrat deem a legistlation invalid on grounds that it doesnt belong in the fiscal category.

Candidates for powiat elections can step up with 3000 signatures, but to enter sejm they have to join the Social Nationalist Polish Peoples Party (this can happen before or after they are elected as long as it is before their first sejm session). Candidates for the Minister of Economy elections are called up expert volunteers from economic think tanks from all across the economic spectrum. Terms for powiat representatives are 3 years and terms for voivodeship representatives are 4 years. Any legal adult is allowed to put themselves forward as candidate for any elected position granted that they fullfill the above criteria.

Administrative divisions
Poland is devided into 14 voivodeships and 4 Krajs. Krajs are divided into their own voivodeships and Voivodeships are divided into powiats, some Powiats are then divided into gminas (rural parts) and miastas (urban parts). The provinces are largely founded on the borders of historic regions, or named after individual cities. gminas, powiats and voivodehips share fiscal responsibility of the land they govern with gminas having the most power (where they exist), powiats having having the most power or regulating disputes between gminas (where they exist) and voivodeships having disbute solving powers, then the minister of economy manages and solves the disbutes between the Voivodeships. The administrative structure of Krajs work the same but on the Kraj level the Kraj sejm has full power except for foreign policy and policies prohibited by the constitution.

Laws
The Constitution of Poland is the supreme law in Poland and it is based on enforcing certain societal laws, controlling the reach of each government sector, outlining the Polish administrative system and providing certain procedures on foreign policy. The Polish constitution is split into 3 sections, Section 1 outlines the organisation, functions and limits of the central and local governments and the sejm, Section 2 dubbed "The Moral Constitution" outlines certain mandatory societal expectations from individuals as well as guaranteeing basic rights such as property ownership and the right to offensive speech, Section 3 outlines foreign policy procedures, the role of ZZ within the government and functions of military law, production and conscription as a "Fiscal-Cultural-Administrative" law.

Foreign Affairs
Poland is a continental power in Europe. It hosts the HQ of the New Warsaw pact as well as the CECA which is it both a founding member off. Poland has strong relations with Sorbia, North Germany and Norway-Sweden being in unilateral mutual defence pacts with Sorbia and North Germany and a multilateral alliance with Norway-Sweden and the Neo-Soviet Land of People. Poland also has vague unilateral defensive alliances with Finland and Hungary. Historically, Poland maintained strong cultural and political ties to Hungary; this special relationship was recognised by the parliaments of both countries in 2007 with the joint declaration of 23 March as "The Day of Polish-Hungarian Friendship". Poland is also a signatory of the Zgorzelec Climate Treaty.

Military
The Polish armed forces are composed of eight branches; the land forces, the air forces, the naval forces, the special forces, the anti-terrorism forces, the border guard, the Zabójcy zła and the nuclear forces. The Military is subordinate to the Minister of war and the Kultokrat jointly. Polish military tradition is generally commemorated by the Armed Forces Day, celebrated annually on 15 August. As of 20XX, the Polish Armed Forces have a combined strength of 680,345 active soldiers, with a further 650,230 active in the ZZ and the border guard.

Poland is spending 9% of its GDP on defence with 4% of that going to army maintinance and 6% to army R&D + modernisation. About 400,000 anti terrorist, ZZ and armed forces units are present in the eastern part of the country with the mission of defending key strategic points such as Southern region of Woj. Wileńskie and the Polish-Belarussian zone from terrorist attacks. Poland also has an unknown but high amount of fighters, bombers and drones in the region to destroy infrastructure used by terrorists and manufacturies occupied by terrorists. The Polish border guard is stationed on the eastern border with terrorist occupied regions to protect from any incursions, which is why the entire eastern border is closed except for the Polish-Belarus zone which is open for trade, under the condition imports are protected by providing countries.

Poland has compulsory military service for 7 months upon reaching the age of 19 as well as for unmarried and unemployed men and women above 25. Polish military doctrine reflects the same defensive nature as that of its New Warsaw pact partners and the country actively hosts New Warsaw pact's military exercises. Since 1953, the country has been a large contributor to various United Nations peacekeeping missions, which ended with Poland's exit from the UN. It currently maintains military presence in Scandinavia, Eastern Europe, Oceania and North America.

Law enforcement and emergency services
Law enforcement in Poland is performed by several agencies which are subordinate to the Minister of Administration – the State Police (Policja), assigned to investigate crimes or transgression; the Municipal City Guard, which maintains public order; and several specialised agencies, such as the Polish Border Guard. Private security firms are also common, although they possess no legal authority to arrest or detain a suspect. Municipal guards are primarily headed by provincial, regional or city councils. Security service personnel conduct regular patrols in both large urban areas or smaller suburban localities. Polish officers are always armed with military grade rifles.

The United Ministerial-ZZ staff against interior and external threats (SZM-ZZWZWZ, or TUM-ZZSAIET in English) is the chief intelligence and counter-intelligence instrument safeguarding Poland's internal and external security along with identifying threats and collecting secret information abroad. The Central Investigation Bureau of Police (CBŚP) and the Central Anticorruption Bureau (CBA) are responsible for countering organised crime and corruption in state and private institutions.

Emergency services in Poland consist of the emergency medical services, search and rescue units of the Polish Armed Forces and State Fire Service. Emergency medical services in Poland are operated by local and regional governments, but are a part of the centralised national agency - the National Medical Emergency Service (Państwowe Ratownictwo Medyczne).

Economy
The Modern Polish economy is characterised by now slowing down but stable growth and it is forecasted that the Polish economy will continue on a positive trend for atleast a decade with current situation/policies, Poland's economy has the developed market status. The Polish economy is based upon trade, services and production with an almost non-existent agricultural sector, despite Polish policy being mainly mercantilist it has accepted the fact that in its urbanisation efforts it has made itself reliant on Sorbia and North Germany in agricultural goods. In return Poland provides arms and some vehicle exports to Sorbia. Poland's top exports are; Weapons(Infantry, military vehicles, ect), Vehicles(Polonez, as well as foreign contractors), Liqour(Soplica state company as well as private firms), Refined Petroleum and Video Displays. Poland has a large banking sector with a mixed system of voivodehip public banks and private banks due to fiscal federalism with 37.5 branches per 100,000 adults. It was the only European economy to have avoided the recession of 2008 and was (in comparison to others) only mildly impacted by the world recession of 2020's. workers under the age of 24 are exempt from income tax, this law was introduced in 2019 but the age was changed from 26 to 24 in late 2020's.

tourism
Poland experienced a significant increase in the number of tourists after joining the European Union in 2004 and has continued despite the European Union's dissolution. With nearly 22 million international arrivals in 202X, tourism contributes considerably to the overall economy and makes up a relatively large proportion of the country's service market.

Tourist attractions in Poland vary, from the mountains in the south to the sandy beaches in the north, with a trail of nearly every architectural style. The most visited city is Kraków, which was the former capital of Poland and serves as a relic of the Polish Golden Age and the Renaissance. Kraków also held royal coronations of most Polish kings and monarchs at Wawel, the nation's chief historical landmark. Another notable site is Lwów which has been designated as the Cultural-Religious Capital of Poland and hosts the Red-Ruthenia historic museum, Market Square as well as the Black House and statue of Grzegorz Braun.

The Polish capital Warsaw and its historical Old Town were entirely reconstructed after wartime destruction. Other cities attracting countless tourists include Gdańsk, Kaliningrad, Lublin, Toruń as well as the site of the German Auschwitz concentration camp in Oświęcim. A notable highlight is the 13th-century Wieliczka Salt Mine with its labyrinthine tunnels, a subterranean lake and chapels carved by miners out of rock salt beneath the ground.

Poland's main tourist offerings include outdoor activities such as skiing, sailing, mountain hiking and climbing and sightseeing historical monuments. Tourist destinations include the Baltic Sea coast in the north; the Masurian Lake District and Białowieża Forest in the east; on the south Bukovel ski resort, the Curonian Lagoon and the Tatra Mountains, where Rysy – the highest peak of Poland, and Eagle's Path mountain trail are located. The Pieniny and Bieszczady Mountains lie in the south-east.There are over 100 castles in the country most on the Trail of the Eagles' Nests. The largest castle in the world by land area is situated in Malbork, in north-central Poland.

Transport and Energy
Poland has tried to transition away from cars on multiple occasions but has faced little success in the endevor, regardless, Polish public infrastructure is highly developed with the Metro-bus cooperation system put in place. The Metro-Bus cooperation system was a organisational policy designed by the kultokrat and minister of economy jointly as a way to most efficently organise public transport and rid Poland off private busses and trains, in which Buses would be used for transportation in urban centers and metros for long range transportation. Each highway is mandated to include a metro line along it and the funding for the systems operations is paid off via taxes. These policies have improved Polish infrastructure especially for deliveries as metro lines started being used to move goods across the country too, as well as car ownership falling by each succeding generation by 7%. Whilst railways are only still commonplace in the east of the country as Metro building is not worth it there due to it being a warzone. Poland has a number of international airports, the largest of which is Warsaw Chopin Airport, the primary global hub for LOT Polish Airlines. Seaports exist all along Poland's Baltic coast, with most freight operations using Klaipėda(formerly), Kaliningrad, Gdynia, Gdańsk, Baltiysk and Elbląg as their base. The Port of Gdańsk is the only port in the Baltic Sea adapted to receive oceanic vessels.

Polish energy sectory is largely split between nuclear energy, fossil-fuels (mainly coal) and oil, nuclear energy and coal production is done domestically whilst oil is mostly imported from Caucas region, Tartastan region and Norway-Sweden.
