DBWI: Poland-Lithuania partitioned

As we all know, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth is one of the main powers in Europe but it nearly fell in the 18th century, but what if it did and got partitioned between it's neighbors? What PODs might be needed for such a scenario? Poland-Lithuania not centralizing?
 
You need to butterfly away The Acts of Uniformity of 1755. You could do that by making the Sjem more fragmented and ineffectual, maybe have other powers be more interested in supporting their candidate? I think after you get past the Abolishing Act of 1801 there is no going back.
 
Maybe a good POD is better czars In Russia because PeterIII and Paul were the worst Czars in Russian History.They both might have a chance to expand to the West but both prefered the conquest of Central Asia instead.
 
Seriously? Prussia? The German exclave? How on earth would it manage that?
*breaths in*
Not QUITE.

Königsberg is a wierd place. See, the Duke of Prussia happens to be the King of Poland-Lithuania-Ruthenia, who is, of course, Augustyn III. Prissia, however, is a constituent Kingdom of the Holy Roman Empire of the German and Hungarian nations, so the King of the Commonwealth also has a voice in the National Diet of Germany, and can influence the affairs of the Empress in Vienna; he can vote as part of the Diet(hereditary nobles, as opposed to the elected Bundestag, which has most of the power today, sort of like the British Parliament vs House of Lords before the Sundicalist Revolution in 1910) and has some power as semi Constitutional monarch in Prussia, which is more power than he has as King of the Commonwealth. It's... wierd, putting it mildly. After the Commonwealth and Empire formed the Alliance that would see them through the Eurasian War against France, Russia, and Japan, there were talks of the Commonwealth just buying Prussia, but nothing ever came of that; I guess the Hapsburgs like to keep their reminder of their total defeat of that upstart King in Prussia, Frederick II.
