How would you call this country?

[WhereverImayRoam]

Hi there!
I made a map with counties and countyfree cities.
This thing is really WIP. But during the next days, you can find out, what my idea on this is.

It's pretty obvious. Poland in the days of the Commonwealth had that southern land.

 

[XO Maenadicus]

I'm thinking "The Holy Union of Poland and Prussia".

That looks like Poland after WW II got whole Prussia but not Silesia or Białystok region. And Bornholm? I think, it's completely random. Soviets captured it during the war and perhaps refused to let it go back to Denmark for some reason and gave it Poland instead.

 

[Pragmatic Progressive]

Could just as well be an East Germany. Either the USSR was genocidal to Poles for some reason, or e.g. West Germany went communist (or anything other radical) between 1900 and 1920 and then, the monarchy fled to East Prussia - and managed to take over newly independent Poland and some more parts of ex-Germany.

Thus, I voted East Germany. However, if the country shall be ethnically and culturally Polish, you should of course name it Poland!

 

[Zanzibar]

I'd call it Jagillonia but that would depend on how it was formed.

 

[Wendell]

Poland. Prussia returns to the fold instead of being united to Brandenburg. The rest is butterflies.

 

[Analytical Engine]

What is the dominant ethnic group here? (By which I mean either politically or numerically, or both.)

 

[Rubberduck3y6]

It looks like Poland with added East Prussia and minus Silesia. Polish Bornholm is quite cool!

 

[BiteNibbleChomp]

Meh. It is just Poland that has had the chance to be slightly more warlike than in OTL.

Of course, with a PoD early enough, those medieval-sounding names are all possible. 'Poland' wasn't even the name of the place until about 960. Before then it had a rather long and annoying to say name, or was simply called 'Vistula' after the river.
