About Polkopia:
Polkopia, formally called the Allied States of Polkopia, is a Constitutional Totalitarian Confederation and is compromised of eleven states, each of which are governed by a single body in the capital city of Peeto. It is bordered to the north by the nation Finland, to the west by the Baltic Sea and is influenced by a humid continental climate. Polkopia has a population of about 90 million as of 2013, and its capital and largest city is Peeto. Polkopian culture is strongly influenced by Slavic and Baltic cultures, and the official language, Polkopian, is one of only three living languages (together with Latvian and Lithuanian) in the Baltic branch of the Indo-European language family.
For centuries, the territory surrounding the Baltic Sea was inhabited by various Baltic tribes. In the late 1200's the Polkopian lands were united by the Curionian people, and the Semigallian people, and the first unified Polkopian state, the Kingdom of Polkopia, was created on 27 April 1283. During the 14th century, the Kingdom of Polkopia faced various wars, and, for a brief time, was occupied by the Tsardom of Russia. Eventually, Polkopia received independence from the Russian Principalities in 1456 from the Treaty of Oblast, where Polkopia received its former lands west of Lake Paipus. From then on, the Kingdom of Polkopia grew, expanding north, conquering the remaining Baltic lands.
During WWII, Polkopia faced a series of devastating invasions by Nazi Germany, and faced complete annexation. Between 1941 and 1944, over seven million Polkopian lives were lost. In 1944, the lands of Polkopia were liberated by the Soviet Union, and in 1947, Polkopia became a satellite state for the Soviet Union. In 1985, the Soviet-imposed government was overthrown, making Polkopia the first out of many nations to break free from the Soviet Union. In 1991, after 6 years of Democracy, the Polkopian Government was overthrown by Communist leaders and, once again, became a Communist State. Despite the vast destruction the country experienced during World War II, as well as several violent revolutions experienced in 1996 and again in 2008, Polkopia managed to preserve much of its cultural wealth and today, stands as a stable, economically sound nation. In 2018, Polkopia transitioned into a Democracy.
