The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (Polish: Rzeczpospolita Obojga Narodów) does not exist at the beginning of the Grand Campaign, only being playable between July 1569 and 23 October 1795. It is a formable country, formable by both Poland and Lithuania.

The Commonwealth was established by the Union of Lublin in July 1569, between the Kingdom of Flag of Poland Poland and the Grand Duchy of Flag of Lithuania Lithuania. While Poland and Lithuania were already in personal union since 1386 under the Jagiellonian dynasty, the union created a completely new political entity. Both Poland and Lithuania have the national decision to form the Commonwealth.

The Commonwealth is an elective monarchy led by a king whose power is limited by the Sejm (lower house of the parliament) resulting in unique political problems. Furthermore, the Commonwealth is a multi-cultural and multi-religious state. In the age of religious wars and persecution of minorities, this kind of state is truly unique because it has been created on fundamentals of religious tolerance and personal freedom. Unfortunately high ideals don't always work when faced with the harsh realities of the world, and the ruler of Commonwealth will have to face many internal problems and deal with them quickly. Because if the power and dominance of the Commonwealth start to crumble despotic and totalitarian neighbors will attack without hesitation.

Missions[edit]

Main article: Polish missions

The Commonwealth missions are shared with Poland and have similar aims including the subjugation and conquest of neighboring rivals: the Flag of Teutonic Order Teutonic Order, the Flag of Ottomans Ottomans and Flag of Russia Russia.

Events[edit]

Main article: Polish events

The Commonwealth has a large number of events tying into handling the Sejm (parliament). Most of these are covered under the Polish events page.

The most prevalent of these is a coin flip each time a new ruler is elected which decides whether the Sejm will agree or disagree overall with your ruler's ideas; this will either increase or decrease various things like technology cost and inflation.

Decisions[edit]

If Flag of Lithuania Lithuania forms Flag of Commonwealth Commonwealth, it has the decision to move capital to Warsaw. This decision can only be made once - that is, if Poland moves the capital to Warsaw (also raising its development) before forming the Commonwealth, it cannot make the decision a second time.

With the incorporation of the duchy of Mazovia Warsaw has become the seat of the Sejm. Perhaps it would be wise to move the seat of royal government there so we can work better with the nobility?

Poland and Lithuania has a common history of close cooperation and through the Union of Vilnius and Radom our respective aristocracies where integrated with one another in 1413. While fate has since then brought us apart our interests remain closely aligned and now that we control both the core of the Lithuanian and Polish lands it is perhaps time we let our old friends become stakeholders in a joint state.
