Hello! I'm a newbie here, so please, be forgiving.
So,
I guess it's not uncommon to wonder what your country looks like in the Minnaverse. I've been wondering too. So has anyone survived in Poland?
On the one hand, I doubt it. Poland might have many assets but good organisation and effectivness in action are rarely ones of those. Also unity can be a chink in our armour. Poles would probably just keep arguing until everyone had been infected by the Illness.
On the other hand though... I like to think that perhaps we would have a chance. Poland's climate allows to harvest good crops to feed the people, but also can provide a really harsh winter (So-called "100 years' winter" of 1978 and the entire 17th century to prove my words), which would make a great setback for trolls and beasts. Moreover, Middle Ages left us quite a fortress lands, full on various holds, keeps, castles, some fortified manors, and many other places to hide and live in. It brings me a nice thought - the words "Poland has not yet perished/ so long as we live" being fullfilled by people defending places such as Wawel or Malbork Castle from the grosslings.
I do know that it's just a fantasy that would be unlikely to happen, but sharing it was fun anyway.
