Enless you count Germany as Prussia.

Except Prussia stopped being a Polish vassal in 1618 and didn't exist until 1525. That's less than a hundred years, compared to Prussia's existence as a state named 'Prussia' that lasts until 1947.

West Prussia was directly administered by Poland until the partitions, though.

Internet traffic map. Some of the other information is too small to be read, unfortunately.

What are the requirements for an airport to be on that map?

I believe it is anything with a runway.

I think it's just referring to any major/minor municipal airport (like DTW or JFK) - if it was anything with a runway, there would be a crapton of red dots in the Great Plains.

Yes. Prussia was under Polish vassalhood for a long time period.
And that little German vassal later went on to subjagate half of Poland under its rule for a little more than a hundred years. Yay for Poland!

Oh look a map of Prussia!

It can't be - there are a couple ariports marked on the southern tip of south america that aren't major in any sense of the word - one of them seems to be in Puerto Williams - which isn't even a proper town - it's more like a naval base.

There are no major cities down there.

Though the local airport right near me is missing and several others that I know of in Southern Ontario. The one near me is primarily used by amateur pilots, sightseeing, and a few business jets, but some have short commercial routes.

Yah, with the help of a screwed up political system in Poland where half of the nobles were more powerful then the king and sided with Prussia/Austria/Russia, not to mention the latter two's assistance.

No country could survive that.

When a coalition of non-independent landowners becomes a state entity, let me know. Was the League of the Common Weal a state?

Why are there arguments about Poland in this thread?

Is this a serious question?

Huayna Capac357 · Jun 23, 2009, 04:38 AM

There are arguments about Poland on every thread. It's surprising when there aren't arguments about Poland.

TheLastOne36 · Jun 23, 2009, 09:21 AM

Take a look at Cybrxkhan's Biggles-Pho-Kielbasa law. That will explain why there are so many Polish threads.
