^ Kaliningrad should be Old Prussian, but this nation no longer exists, so I proposed Lithuania as probably the closest to Old Prussia.

Brandenburg should be Sorbian.

Western Poland > Germany

Eastern Poland > Russia (Belarus)

There's no need for Poland to exist. It's a crappy place anyways.

Error 102- word not found in dictionary.

Poland just takes up another slot when I make custom scenarios. What's the point?

Some countries you can understand but Poland?
I don't know who thought it'd be a good idea in the first place.
The only purpose it served historically was as an excuse to go to war against Hitler.

Poland is a state for poles and Germany is a state for Germans. If there's no point for Poland then there is no point for Germany.

Scotland isn't a state and if it became independent it wouldn't serve the best interests of the Scottish people.

Poland is part of the EU and Euro so basically it's a non-state anyway.

And if Germany is for Germans why are they letting all them migrants in?

Colonel you do realize Poland prevented the communists from going west and for about twenty years held a front against communism with Romania? You're anti-communist so I thought you would have liked that.

Well, I guess we'll never see what life in an independent Scotland will be like before it goes independent. Besides, it would serve the interests of the Scottish people as the majority actually does want independence...

Poland was (and still is, recently the catholic party won the election and most of them are idiots) governed badly in history, but your argument is totally invalid, as the EU never pretended to be one country. And it's not part of Euro. You should have known that but I do realize your stupidity comes from ignorance here, so I'll forgive you for once.

Kindness? Economical profit? Or just Angela Merkel's politics?

Of course I think Poland had some uses in the past but we have to stop moaning about the past and look to the future and the present threat is from the EU Maoists and their Fascistic tendencies.

Our natural ally in this regard should be Russia, who would benefit from exploiting Poland.

Then, when peace and democracy is restored in Europe we can give the parts of Poland which are historically German back.
Prussia still lives in the minds of the native people to its ancient fatherland.

Scotland is a state. It's just not a sovereign state. It's a constituent state. Also, it would definitely have the interests of the Scottish people at heart if it were an independent country. It would just also care about the immigrants and refugees living inside of it as well, and would welcome foreign workers, unlike what some people believe.

If we argue from your first point of view then Prussia shouldn't become German again because we should look to the future, but if we use your second view point then Germany should be Balkanized.

Sorry I apologize if I was mistaken about Poland being in the Euro. It was a presumption and not a demonstration of ignorance in the field.

If countries were for their ethnically native populations why do they sell their citizenship to foreigners??

Look at how many ethnic foreigners hold British citizenship...

Historically German? All the land Poland has today was owned by them at some point in the past. If you consider parts of Poland historically German, then I consider parts of Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine, Latvia, Estonia, Moldova, Romania and Russia historically Polish. Though I'd really be satisfied with just Wilno, Brześć and Lwów. Not much, is it? :P

My point is exactly what you wrote : we shouldn't care that much about the past, but look forward to the future. Except that's the point where you're contradicting yourself, because if we shouldn't care about the past, why would Germany get back the land they owned in the past? What matters is the future and you were the one to say it.

Also, the choice of Russia as ally in the region is completely arbitrary. Russia is one of the states with most crimes committed by the government. The tsars, the bolsheviks and co. Now it's not as bad as it used to, but Putin is still one of the worst people in Europe at the moment.

Whether you choose to ignore the rational points I just made or not is up to you ; I'm just pointing out the obvious and numerous flaws in your reasoning.

It depends on your view of the future.

I see a future in which Europe lives in peace and harmony and each nation develops independently its culture free from external influences and federalism of any kind.
This includes Poland.

However, if we look at Europe from a realistic point of view we need to fight against the "ever closer union" and growing tyrannical policies of the EU bureaucracy.
