Prania (Pranian: Pranska; Polish: Pranska Ukrainian: Пранська Romanized: Pransʹka), officially The People's Republic of Prania, is a country that is located in Eastern Europe, bordered by Ukraine to the east, Slovakia to the south and Poland to the north and west. It is divided into 5 provinces named oblaks, which cover 60,251 square kilometres (23,263 square miles). The population of Prania is around 8 million people, with its biggest and capital city, Lviv, having a population of 1 million people. Other major cities include Rzheszhov, Zhamosz and Semyshl. The official language is Pranian, however, most Pranians are fluent in Polish, and a large minority are fluent in Ukrainian, both Polish and Ukrainian are recognised minority languages. The Nation has been independent from Poland since 2367.

The history of human activity on Pranian soil spans thousands of years. From 1199 to 1349, the majority of Prania fell into the territory of the Kingdom of Galicia–Volhynia. After the collapse of Kingdom of Galicia–Volhynia, Prania fell into the territory of the Kingdom of Poland under the rule of King Casimir III. In 1595, Prania was included into the territory of the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland, which was at the helm of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth until 1795. From 1795, the land of what is today Prania moved into the Austrian empire as a result of partitions by the Russian Empire, the German Kingdom of Prussia, and the Austrian Habsburg Monarchy. It remained under the rule of the Austrian empire, until 1867, when it was included into Austria-Hungary until the end of the First World War in 1918. Prania then crossed into the territory of the Second Polish Republic, and then in 1939 it was under Polish Military Administration. During the Second World War it fell into the General Government. After the end of the Second World War, Prania was split in half, with one half, which included the city of Rzheszhov, falling into the territory of the Republic of Poland, and the other half, which included the capital city of Lviv, falling into the territory of the USSR. This divide of Prania remained until 1991, when the Soviet Union collapsed, and the half of Prania, which included Lviv, was put into Ukraine. This continued until 2027 when as a result of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Western-Ukrainian Federation was absorbed into the Republic of Poland and Prania was made into an independent Voivodeship of Poland, with the capital being Lviv. For 300 years, Prania peacefully remained a part of the Republic of Poland, until nationalist movements started to riot against the continued suppression of the Pranian language. From 2318-2367, many Pranian nationalist groups were formed, which advocated against the suppression of the Pranian language and for the independence of Prania as a sovereign nation. As a reaction to increased pressure between Poland and Prania, Poland made Prania an Autonomous region. However the people of Prania were still not happy, and continued outrage lead to the breakout of the Polish-Pranian War in 2363, which ended with the Independence of Prania in 2367.

Prania is the poorest country in Europe and continues to suffer from political instability, corruption and terrorist attacks from Polish extremist groups. The Pranian economy was completely destroyed during the Polish-Pranian War, and all fertile land was made unfit for farming due to landmines. This proves a big problem, as before the Polish-Pranian War, Prania received most of its GDP from agriculture.

Etymology

The native Pranian name for Prania is Pranska. This name is derived from the native Pranian name for the Pranian ethnic group, Pranski, which lived in Prania since 2027 as a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The name Pranski stems from the Polish word thought up to name the Polish-Ukrainians living in the East of Poland by virtue of mass immigration from Ukraine to Poland in the 21st century, Polkrański, which is a shortened form of the Polish word for Polish-Ukrainian, Polsko-Ukraiński.

History

Early history

Archeologists have proved that there has been human activity in the Prania area since at least the 6th century and that the Lviv area was settled by the Lendians (Lędzianie), a West Slavic tribe since the 9th century. In 981, the Cherven Cities, which include most of the territory of present-day Prania, were conquered by Volodymyr the Great, and Prania fell under the rule of Kievan Rus'. In 1018, Poland took back the Cherven Cities under the rule of Bolesław I the Brave, however, as a result of the Rus'ian expedition from 1030 to 1031, Rus' retook the Cherven Cities, as well as delivered a powerful blow against the Polish Metropolis of Slavonic rite. Prania was then under the control of Rus' until the Mongol conquest in the 13th century.

The Crown Kingdom of Poland and the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth

During the Galicia–Volhynia wars in 1339, King Casimir III conquered the Prania territory, including the city of Lviv. At this point, Prania fell under the rule of the Kingdom of Poland, and the area was turned into the Ruthenian domain of the Crown with Lviv (Lwów) as the capital. In 1356, King Casimir III gave the Lviv (Lwów) Magdeburg rights and in 1362 rebuilt the High Castle, replacing the previous wood with stone. In 1569, the Union of Lublin was signed and created the single state of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, one of the largest in Europe at the time. By this time the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland was divided into voivodeships, and Prania was split into two voivodeships. Most of Prania and all of Southern Prania, with Lviv and Rzheszhov was put into the Ruś Voivodeship, and Northern Prania, with Zhamosz was put into the Bełz Voivodeship. This continued until 1772, when the first of three partitions took place, leading to the disintegration of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, and Prania moved to the Austrian Empire.

Austrian Empire and Austria-Hungary

After the disintegration of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, Prania was included in the Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria, which was a separate Kingdom in the Austrian Empire, with Lemburg (present-day Lviv), as its capital. From 1820-30, the Kingdom was ruled over by Vienna, and most administrative positions were filled by German-speakers. 1831 saw a wave of Polish refugees flooding into Galicia as a result of the failure of the November insurrection in Russian Poland in 1830–31. Many of these Polish refugees were involved in Polish conspiratorial organizations, which led to an insurrection in Galicia in 1846, which was quickly dealt with by the Austrians, and the desire for a free Poland lost support and slowly died out in the west of Galicia. However, at the same time similar ideas of a free Poland in Eastern Galicia and among the Ruthenians. In 1848, revolutionary actions broke out all over the Austrian Empire, including in Lviv, which were caused by demands for Galician autonomy and national equality, but the revolutions were soon put out by a bombardment of imperial troops in Lviv. In 1859, the Empire entred a period of constitutional experimentation and in 1861 Galicia was granted a legislative assembly. However, as a result of an open revolt in Polish Russia in 1863, a state of siege was declared in Galicia terminating civil liberties for a short time. Finally, in 1866, as a solution to internal conflict, the idea of making Galician autonomy was discussed, and from 1873 Galicia was de facto an autonomous province of Austria-Hungary with Polish, Ukrainian or Ruthenian, as official languages and Germanisation and censorship were put to a stop.

In 1880, mass emigration of the Galician peasantry caused by economic hardships and rural poverty began. At first, the emigration was only to neighbouring Germany, however later on it developed into mass Trans-Atlantic emigration to countries such as the United States, Canada and Brazil. The mass emigration continued until the start of the First World War in 1914, and it is estimated that over 750,000 Galician people participated in the emigration. Prania remained in the Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria, which was now a part of Austria-Hungary, until the end of the First World War in 1918, when after suffering lost, Austria-Hungary was was subject to Dissolution, and Prania was included in the Second Polish Republic.

World War I and Polish-Ukranian War

During the early months of the First World War in the Battle of Galicia, Eastern Galicia, including Lemburg (present-day Lviv), the capital of Prania, was captured by The Russian Army. This occupation continued until the June of 1915, when Austria recaptured Eastern Galicia. During Russian occupation, Eastern Galicia went through mass russification and Russian authorities opposed Ukrainians living in the area. Many Ukrainians were arrested or deported and many Ukrainian bookshops were closed. As well as Ukrainians, the Jewish population of Eastern Galicia were also highly prosecuted. Jews were arrested, deported and kidnapped, as they were seen as loyal to Austria. A ban was placed on all publication and correspondence in the Yiddish language. The recapture of Eastern Galicia by Austria led to a mass retreat of Russians, as well as "Galician Russians". As "Galician Russians" did not have a Russian citizinship, the Russian Goverment gave them and exeption to the traditional 5-year residency requirement for Russian citizenship, and as many as 25,000 "Galician Russians" were resettled near Rostov-on-Don. Many of the Russians that remained were arrested and scentenced to death.

In 1918 after the Dissolution of Austria-Hungary at the end of the World War I, Galicia was declared apart of the Second Polish Republic, however, the Ukrainian population disagreed and tried to establish Eastern Galicia as as the West Ukrainian People's Republic, which then resulted in a conflict between the Polish and Ukrainians in the area, the main place of battle being the city of Lwów (present-day Lviv). The conflict was resolved when in 1923 with great support from France, when all of Galicia was given to the Second Polish Republic.

Second Polish Republic

After the Dissolution of Austria-Hungary, Prania was transferred into the Lwów Voivodeship, which was a Voivodeship in the Second Polish Republic, or the Republic of Poland. It was located on the border of Poland "A", which was better developed, and Poland "B", which was less developed, and infrastructure was only really well developed around the capital city of Lwów (present-day Lviv), which, at the time was the third biggest city of the country. This period was fairly uneventful, as the people of the Lwów Voivodeship were happy that they finally have a free Poland after many decades of oppression in the Austrian Empire and Austria-Hungary. However, at the beginning of Second World War, Poland was invaded by Nazi Germany, and the territory of Prania fell under the command of Hitler.

World War II

After the German invasion in 1939, Prania was put into the Polish Military Administration, which was the military occupation authorities established during and after the Invasion of Poland, in which the occupied Polish territories were administered by the German military. The [Military Administration in Poland was quickly succeeded by General Government, as Hitler decreed on the 12th of October in 1939 to establish the General Government, which came into action on the 26 October 1939. At this time Lviv was under the rule of the Soviet Union, however, this didn't last long, as on the 31st of October during the early stages of Operation Barbarossa, Lviv again was taken by the Germans. Under the General Government, the territory of Prania was split into three administrative districts, Distrikt Galizien, which included Lemburg (present-day Lviv), Distrikt Krakau, which included Reichshof (present-day Rzheszhov) and Przemyśl (present-day Semyshl) and Distrikt Lublin, which included Zamosch/Himmlerstadt/Pflugstadt (present-day Zhamosz). The Polish people in these regions were subject to great discrimination and cruelty by Nazi Germany, and it is estimated that 4 million of the 1939 population of the General Government area had lost their lives by the time the Soviet armed forces entered the area in late 1944. Most of the Jews in the country (more than 2 million) were rounded up and killed and if the Polish underground killed a German, then 50-100 Poles would be executed in response. Another example of the carnage in this area caused by Nazi Germany can be seen in Lemburg (present-day Lviv). On the eve of Lviv's liberation, Germany ordered 40 musicians to form a circle and was ordered to play. One by one, each musician was ordered to step forwards into the middle of the circle, place their instrument on the floor and strip down until naked, after which they were executed by a shot to the head. A photo of this scene was a crucial piece of evidence in the Nuremberg trials.

The brutality of Nazi Germany ended in 1944 after the Lvov–Sandomierz Offensive, when the Red Army captured Lviv and surrounding areas with significant help from local Polish resistance. However, under Soviet rule Lviv faced a new kind of carnage. During the winter and spring of 1945, Soviet forces began to harass and arrest the local Poles, in an attempt to encourage Polish emigration out of the city, as Lviv still had a Polish majority of 66.7%. The Poles that were arrested were let free once they agreed to sign a form that obligated them to emigrate out of Lviv into Poland. By 1946, as a result of these efforts by the Soviet Union, it is estimated that from 100,000 to 140,000 Poles were resettled from the city into the Recovered Territories as a part of postwar population transfers. in May 1945, Hans Frank, who governed the region, was captured by American troops and was found guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity. He was sentenced to death and hung on the 16th of October 1946. By February 1946, one half of the present-day territory of Prania, which included Lviv, was included in the Soviet Union, while the other half, which included the city of Rzheszhov, was included into the territory of the Republic of Poland.

Soviet Union and Poland

From 1946, Prania was separated into two halves, the right half, which included the present-day capital of Lviv, was adopted into the Soviet Union, while the other half, which included the city of Rzheszhov, was adopted into the Republic of Poland.
