Hello everyone, and welcome back to another FΓΌhrerreich progress report! Today we are looking at one of the most powerful secondary nations in the world, the Kingdom of Poland.
Hello there! I am general Kenobi Preussenball, also known as the (probably already mad) Poland dev, and today we will look at my big baby, Poland, which got majorly reworked (by me :3 ) since the last dev diary.
LORE
So, first, the lore! On the Versailles Conference, Poland was proclaimed a Kingdom (as Entente accepted the presence of the Regency Council which was set up by the Central Powers), and the Entente placed Janusz Franciszek RadziwiΕΕ on the throne (RadziwiΕΕs had many connections to most of the royal families of Europe). The young country was granted the previously German lands of Sudpreussen, Posen/PoznaΕ and northern Silesia. However, the demands of Polish diplomats to include the majorly Polish lands of the Pomeranian corridor werenβt heard out, and thus Poland doesnβt have sea access through its own lands. There are rumors, that it was, supposedly, to ensure polish dependence on Entente imports and exports. The Polish independence wasnβt safe though. When the Bolsheviks attacked Vilnius on February 1921, with a clear intention to move further west, the Polish HC, with the consent of the king, soon ordered a full mobilization and carried out several attacks on soviet positions in the east. The King also appointed JΓ³zef PiΕsudski as the Marshal of Poland and the prime minister, giving him the full control over the army and a partial control over the country. With the material help of the Entente (equipment sent through Romania and Zapadoslavia), volunteers from Zapadoslavian Galicia (why is it Zapadoslavian will get an explanation in the foreign policy part) and military help (both material help and by sending volunteers) from Hungary and Romania, Polish forces pushed deeply into the Soviet territory, reaching Polotsk and KijΓ³w, where the offensive came to a halt due to the exhaustion of polish and allied troops. We shouldnβt also forget about the allies Poland made on its way through Russia. Soon after the first takeovers of the Ukrainian territory by the Polish forces, the Ukrainian National Republic allied with the Poles, looking forward to proclaiming an independent Ukrainian republic in a pact of mutual help and friendship with Poland. The other allies would be Latvia and Lithuania, joining the war after the Bolshevik invasion of these states, whi

I suggest some kind of "Eurovision King Contest" with every country voting for the candidate they find most royal.
Or we could just let the existing monarchs fight to the death in the Collosseum in Rome.
Title, will I lose my English lands ? Would it be different if I was the King's younger brother ? What happens when war breaks out between my Kingdom and England ?
My companions include 5 of my Valko Guards, an all female Royal Guard to the King. One of these is my lover Lara, as is tradition a King will choose a Valko as his queen. As you can imagine there is much infighting between them over me.
My only other companion is Horrus, our wise, elderly but also lecherous and foul mouthed court wizard.
The Migration of the Poles did not go unnoticed by the neighbors in the Balkans. The influx of people and their settlement in what used to be the Kingdom of Hungary and before that, the Republic of Budimpesta seemed to worry some officials.
As they Poles were just settling in the abandoned towns, heavily armored men started marching toward the villages.
Two parties came, one from the West and one from the South.
The first one to arrive bore the standard of the Kingdom of Illyria, with the Roman Standard above it. The second one to arrive bore the standard of the Principate of Serbia, with the Roman standard above it.
And so they arrived in different places, looking to talk to the leader of this small Kingdom.
I appreciate that this is a sensitive topic and would like to make clear that this isn't a troll post, but more a "What if?" question.
What would be the consequences if:
- Northern Ireland decided it wanted to go it alone as a Crown Dependency like the Isle of Man or the Channel Islands, rather than be a part of the United Kingdom in the future or join the Republic of Ireland.
- Scotland goes independent, but in the way the Channel Islands does - it has its own immigration regime/currency etc. but the United Kingdom is responsible for military affairs and good governance.
The idea for this came about because of debate over the backstop in Brexit.
I would appreciate any answers on this.
