The Free City of Krakow
A Krakow aar/roleplay
A brief note:
Before beginning my first aar I have a few things to say. Firstly, I will combine my awe inspiring (lol) skills of storytelling with one of my favourite games, making many fictional characters and following the main events of my city-state's president. Secondly, I will try to play according to his personality and political ideals. Thirdly, I won't be aiming to form Poland or conquer the whole world or any of those things, in this aar I'l try to focus on the roleplaying aspect, and if I get annexed that's pretty much the end. Finaly, I'l try to update this as regularly as I can, but if I suddenly stop its cause I got bored of playing vicky, I'l probably won't so relax . Thank you guys and I hope you'l enjoy!
Backstory (1815-1836)
(Note: All characters are fictional)
The Free, Independent and Stricly Neutral city of Krakow was a city-state created in 1815 during the congress of Viena. It's foreing affairs, and to a considerable extent his internal ones, were controlled by the three surrounding nations, The Russian Empire, Prussia and Austria. It had been, so far, a prosperous city with a relatively high amount of literacy and low taxes, and was one of the first fully fledged democracies to arise in Europe. (wikipedia ftw)
Meanwhile, Krakow remained in peace, taking little interest in foreign affairs and prioritising his citizens, a ideology that the newly elected president Wisław Piotrowsk, leading member of the conservative Catholic party, was happy to follow, though he secretly held dreams of a nation free of foreign influence.

(Note: I won't add portraits to everyone, probably just the krakowian presidents)
