Actually, most of our P**ish posters are clean of attention-seeking and irrelevant nationalism, thankfully.
I'd rather have Theodora's busts, thank you.

Oh god the GDP per capita. It hurts my eyes. Such preservation of ill-kempt famine.
Angst is right Domen. Could you worldbuilder couple gold mines in the area? And some uranium just in case...
I'm laughing pretty hard right now that you or someone else actually went to the trouble of calculating stuff for their unironic panslavic wet dreams.
And I'm surprised by Poland's GDP/capita, I thought it was higher by now.

You are right. But do not forget the Roman Empire. No human empire last unless it follows the Zeitgeist and is in tune with it. What we know as West and western culture right now is not going to survive as it is. Who knows maybe the next leader is to emerge in the East?
How history works?
Edit:I am currious if you can come up with why the Romans didnt endure as world power and how they could possibly avoid the downfall and desintegration....

Pretty good Domen.
But Hungarians are not going to be happy that you left out Romania out of this laudable project. And I am sure Moldavia would like to have to join too...

Otherwise it looks like EU3-Bohemia's and Novgorod's ******** baby.
Do I really have to spell out every false equatism to you?
As for your question, maybe you should ask that in the WH forum where you will receive more qualified answers than I could give. But no, the Roman Empire wasn't fated to collapse or break apart, and it the reason it did certainly wasn't the generic corruption narrative you're applying here.

Romanians and Moldavians are not Slavic people though. They are also not related to Hungarians / Magyars.

Getting there, in 2001 it was around $10,000 and in 2010 around $19,000
The state that Warsaw is in is at $25,000. They are the snobby Polish 5%

Actually if you exclude the city of Warsaw from the Mazovian Voivodeship, it would not be so rich.
On the other hand, with Warsaw included, Mazovian Voivodeship is the richest one.
Map of GDP per capita in 2010 by voivodeship (1st richest is Mazovian, 2nd - 4th are Greater Polish, Silesian and Lower Silesian):

And here map of GDP per capita by voivodeship in 2009 in relation to European Union's average GDP per capita:
And in 2012 / 2013 over $22,000.
In 1989 / 1990 Poland had actually smaller GDP per capita than Belarus:

Now we are at 140% of Belarussian GDP per capita.
================================================
Also Human Development Index of Belarus used to be higher (38th in the world in 1990, compared to 48th place of Poland).
Today the proportions are reversed - both HDI and GDP per capita in Poland are much higher than in Belarus.
This shows what preserving communism did to Belarus and how good was - despite all perturbations - transformation for Poland.

Russia should be there as well, considering it's a Slavic country.
