The Second Polish Commonwealth

The Second Polish Commonwealth
The Second Polish Commonwealth is Strikezone Mapper's Official Nation, it was a heavily militarized nation, and was named a fascist by MANY of its rivals. It had respect for its enemies who actually stood a chance, like the entente. It formed the Polish Alliance when it made a Double Alliance with Sweden. Eventually, Italy would join this alliance, hoping to regain some prestige.

Location
It owned all of Poland, Belarus, parts of northern Ukraine, Lithuania, Latvia, and most of Germany.

Events that made it infamous in Europe
For first, it made horrible violations of the Geneva Convention, torturing many German soldiers after their victory, its government was very similar to a fascist regime, making most governments denounce it. It had very fast, and aggressive expansion throughout eastern Europe, however, it was probably one of the CLEANEST empires around. It barely did any violations, except the tortures. Its intentions were against fascism, as well. The second commonwealth is remembered for being the most prestigious eastern European empire since the late 1800s.

Military Structure
Its military worked very similar to the modern British army, just translating ALL of the ranks into polish would get you a simple list of polish military ranks. However, Poland stood out, as it was the first European Nation to fully incorporate Cavalry on a large basis since the dawn of modern military, It used cavalry mainly as a extremely Mobile and Cheap AT unit, having men ride around on horseback, firing their AT weapons onto the enemy armor and speeding off before they could be hit.

Alternate Universe
In an alternate universe, the polish alliance won the great war, taking chunks of Russia as punishment. It rose up to be the largest economical powerhouse in Europe, destroying much of its landscape and creating massive deserts in Central Europe, Its civil rights were also the best in Europe, but its political freedom policies were EXTREMELY bad. There was barely any. In later years, it grew to encompass mainland Europe (After the uniting of the polish alliance and the ottomans, and another great war) and in the far future, it grew to encompass all of Europe and Russia. It collapsed in 2892 and formed many different micro nations, starting an era of squabbling kingdoms, equal to the Dark Ages. In 3656 the Polish Commonwealth was reunified in the Third Polish Commonwealth, and it went on to invade and take over all of Africa, which was now controlled by a Superstate called The African Coalition. This turned into the Third Great War, where both the African Coalition and the Third Polish Commonwealth Destroyed each other by killing millions upon billions of people and starting massive rebellions in each other's nations. The Polish Commonwealth is yet to be reformed, but progress has already begun in Northern Lithuania for Unification.

Capitalist Polish Alternative Timeline
In an alternate universe, the events of the other alternate universe stayed in play, except it wasn't a member of the polish alliance anymore, yet a massive capitalist alliance of the world. There was no Second or Third great war either, and the capitalist poland lasted much longer. Eventually, capitalist poland drew away from its commonwealth roots and became a federation of unified, free states all governed directly from Warsaw.
