Manifesto

Dear Poland

Comradeship, rejuvenation, and pride, these are the reigning emotions amongst our newly united assemblage in Warsaw, the hub of the former duchy Warsaw. The vibe of an invigorate spirit stirs amongst us on this day in 1830 as we gather here after trekking from the far reaches of our Fatherland. Thousands of oppressed people from the south, east, and west have finally come here today to unite for a common cause!

For half a century we have been subordinated to the oppressive domination of foreign nations. It has been 60 years since the people of this fragmented land have embraced a national flag that we could collectively call our own. We were once a proud people, unified for 450 years by a parliamentary system that enabled us to enjoy our freedoms (Poland). Now we are literally wiped off the face of the map and enjoy no rights of citizenship. After wars fought against Sweden and Russia and the enactment of the inefficient Liberum Veto, which allowed parliament to veto any law passed, our country descended into a downward spiral towards total anarchy (Poland-The). Foreign countries monopolized on our deteriorating commonwealth and partitioned our country into three lands divided between Russia, Austria, and Prussia.

The great Napoleon Bonaparte of France brought us hope in restoring our commonwealth, but our hope was short lasted. Our alliance with France granted us the duchy of Warsaw, which was taken from Prussian territory in 1807. Additionally, in 1809 we reclaimed the land taken by Austria. Unfortunately, after Napoleon's defeat, the Congress of Vienna unjustly swept our lands away from us and redistributed them to Austria and Prussia (Perry).

We no longer have a nation under which to unite our common traditions and ideals. The various languages and religions we have adopted while taking residence in these three countries are alienating our peoples from one another. How could we allow such an atrocity to occur? By the will of God, resist converting to the religions of those who rule over you. Since 966 Catholic Christianity has been the one true religion that has united us all, never forget (Poland)! We must resist assimilation whole-heartedly; for if we concede to the ways of the countries that are forcing arbitrary rule upon us, we risk forever losing the ties of unity that once defined Poland in the days of her glory. If we lose our ties of unity we should forever give up aspirations
