Nation name (only choose nations on the map, please): Rzeczpospolita Obojga Narodów (The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.)
Capitol: Warsaw
Leader name and age (can be real or made up, if made up explain how he came to power): King August III
Heir name and age (can be real or made up): Stanisław August Poniatowski
Population (if you do not source, you will not be accepted): 11 million
Military (remember: 2% max peacetime, 6% max wartime): 150,000 peacetime.
Major religion (note if state religion differs from majority): Catholic Christianity
Minor religions: Other Christianity.
Major culture: Polish and Lithuanian.
Minor cultures: Baltic's, German, Russian and Ukrainian.
Notable industries: Food products including a lot of Grain.
Alliances/trade agreements (prior to the start of the RP): Poland-Lithuania is allied to Russia.
Recent history (to show you understand the period and my changes to history): When the Great northern war started Poland-Lithuania stayed neutral until the end where Polish forces invaded the Swedish possessions in Latvia. This allowed Poland-Lithuania to get away from devastating its army and infrastructure for a while. Poland-Lithuania soon allied with Russia to protect its eastern front and to counter the Swedes in the north and the Ottomans to the south. The most important event though was the reforms that king August III introduced in 1743 which
1:abolished the liberum veto and banned the szlachta's confederations;
2:provided for a separation of powers among legislative, executive and judicial branches of government;
3:established "popular sovereignty" and extended political rights to include not only the nobility but the bourgeoisie;
4:increased the rights of the peasantry;
5:preserved religious tolerance (but with a condemnation of apostasy from the Catholic faith).
Now Poland-Lithuania stays on the guard on how the war between Prussia and Austria can evolve and how that can benefit Polandia.
Notes: Poland can into space. Winged Hussars are awesome.

Tuscany sits back and watches as the Bourbons slowly start to become the powerhouse of Europe. Tuscany is in favour of the Bourbonnais, and is strongly against a Protestant America.

Ah, I see that there has been an Ottoman reservation. Perhaps Prussia or Venice?

I do believe Poland-Lithuania was reserved prior to you...plus regarding your idea the Polish-Lithuanian military could crush that of Sweden I wish to remind you Sweden's at the time was one of the most advanced on the continent and furthermore the Polish were highly disorganized and at best was limited to defensive operations...just saying.
