Poland

“”Can into space?

— Polandball, staring at the night sky

Poland is the main character of this franchise. He is a Slavic country located in Eastern Europe that works as a plumber for the United Kingdom, and in his free time he dreams about going to space. He hates communism, having experienced it. He is also very Catholic and values traditional culture very much.

The flag on this Polish ball is usually drawn upside down, because, well, everything in Poland is upside down (also in Australia), according to Reddit at least.

Historia (History)

Poland was a communist puppet of the Soviet Union before June 4th 1989, when the communist government stepped down due to protest and a democratic government was formed. Poland's economy slowed down, but was saved thanks to economic boom starting as early as 1995. He became the first post-communist state to reach his pre-1989 levels thanks to this economic boom.

Poland became a member of the Visegrád Group in 1991, and joined NATO in 1999. Poland blackmailed his way into NATO, because USA under Bill Clinton wouldn't let Poland in. First Poland threatened to develop nukes if US wouldn't left him in, but that didn't work, so Poland threatened to campaign for the GOP, and steer the Polish-Americans to not vote Clinton. USA finally let him into NATO.

Poland voted to join the EU in 2004. And in 2007, Poland joined the Schengen Area, opening his borders to all other European Union member states. Poland has made it clear that he is pro-Western.

Poland was the only EU country that avoided recession during the 2008 global financial crisis, earning the nickname "the green island" on EU economic maps.

Poland got infected with COVID-19 in 2020, and it had over 6,661,600 cases over the course of around 4 years of the pandemic. During this, Poland accidentally made a blockage in sovereign Czech territory, essentially annexing a small part of Czechia. The local community trying to go to their church were stopped by Polish border control guards. It is unknown how long this lasted for.

After the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, more than 17 million Ukrainian refugees have crossed the Polish-Ukrainian border, and 0.9 million have stayed in Poland. And in 2022, missiles from the war landed in Poland, killing 2 people. Poland have been waiting to activate NATO's Article 5 ever since.

In May 2024, after one of Poland's soldiers at the Belorussian border got killed by an illegal with a spear, Poland has ordered to kill anyone attempting to cross into their border illegally. Clashes between illegals and border guards became more frequent. The European Union also got mad at Poland for not taking immigrants from non-bordering countries, such as Syria and Afghanistan. The EU proposed a €22,000 fine for each person Poland refuses to take in, and started labeling Poland as " Islamophobic and Fascist".

Memy (Memes)

There has been a lot of memes about Poland that were trending on the internet over the years. Like the Polish Toilet, a spinning glowing toilet. Another popular meme is the "Polish Cow," which features a song with surreal animations that went viral. There is also the “Poland is everywhere” meme, where a person will edit an image/screenshot by saturating (along with other effects) the image and zooming in to make the image, in the end, look the the Polish white-and-red flag. Polandball itself was a meme based on Poland.
