Where is Poland?

[Domen]

Poland - a country extending from 54* 50' N to 49* 00' N and from 24* 09' E to 14* 07' E - that's where it is.

Poland is as small as the US state of New Mexico (hence some Poles complain that they want back Polish pre-1939 lands in the East):

Huh, that was a hell of a necroing. I'm disappoint at the lack of North Africa in the poll, but Poland is in Kongo anyway.

 

[Angst]

Can someone please explain the whole North Africa gag to me please?

Best post in the thread.

 

[Domen]

but Poland is in Kongo anyway.

Smaller than Kongo, so would fit inside indeed.

Anyway - Kongo might be given to Poland, as compensation for lands stolen by Stalin in 1945.

Especially with such a low population density, there's no need to, unless the ethnic Polish in those regions want to rejoin Poland.
I could be complaining about Belgium being so small too and demanding for Luxembourg and the southern part of the Netherlands too, but as long as the people in those regions don't want to join Belgium, I have no leg to stand on.

Further evidence. RFC truly is the perfect history simulator.

(Polish Oran and Tripolis.)

As far as I'm aware, Poland has already received compensation for that.

Nope - that was compensation for Nazi crimes in Poland, not for lands in the East.

Especially with such a low population density,

124 people per square km is not low - France or Spain have lower. Not even mentioning Scandinavia, New Mexico or even the USA in general.

Yeah, we must figure out how to convince those people to want to rejoin Poland.

But one difference is that the Netherlands were always rather small - if not counting colonies.

 

[warpus]

Oh please stop it with the "Poland should get her eastern lands back" BS. Joke or not, I am associated with people who do that, and I do not like it.

 

[Traitorfish]

No, I agree with Domen! Libya is a Polish heartland, and must be brought back into the arms of the Mother-nation!

 

[Leoreth]

Maybe it was both? Poland lost land, Poland got land. The land it got was given to them by the same guy who took their land. Looks like compensation to me.

You got Silesia, Pomerania and a big chunk of Prussia, which were German for centuries. Seems fair to me.

 

[Traitorfish]

What I find ironic is that all this talk of Poland "losing" or "getting" territory, as if it were actually some sort of concious being that may acquire or lose property, and not simply a territorial jurisdiction attributed to a political institution, is a pretty Nazi-ish way to look at the nation-state.

/only half-trolling

Mind the guy who took Polish land, was the one who shared it out with the other guy who took then lost Polish land.

Of course the guy who kept the Polish Land he took having temporarily lost it to his former mate who turned on him, not only took Polish Land but also took Poland itself, of course he had his Polish puppets to help him.

 

[Gucumatz]

Why not return historic German land back to the Germans instead of giving the Poles more land?

 

[Crezth]

Why not return all of Poland to the Germans?

 

[Gucumatz]

Exactly Perfect solution Crezth! That way we can also finally get over that annoying fact of not having those Polish strikers belong on the national team

That the best German strikers of the last couple years have been Polish is more annoying to Poles than Germans

 

[Mechanicalsalvation]

Only after Germans go back where they came from: central Asia.
I hereby declare Germany CENTRAL Asian country.

 

[Tycho Brahe]

Why not return all of Poland to the Germans jews?

Fixed for you

 

[Leoreth]

I submit to simply shut up stupid nationalists and to stop caring about these things.
