The map presents a slightly different vision of Europe in the Interwar period. Largely, most states are shown in the selfsame way, with one notable (and a few small) difference, namely Poland. *The United States of Poland* is a federal republic, closely resembling that of the United States of North America.

The idea is based on the actual [concept ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_of_Poland)put forward by Ignatious John (Ignacy Jan) Paderewski—a Polish composer and diplomat—before the president of the U.S.A., Woodrow Wilson, in January of 1917. This Poland would be a similar kind of presidential republic, and it would consist of four states: *Poland, Lithuania, Polesia*, and *Halych*. The most curious feature of these states is that they would have been *kingdoms*, and the president would hold (non-hereditary) titles of the *King* of each of these kingdoms during his time in office.

The idea for this scenario is rather simple (and, arguably, not too realistic), wherein the president Wilson grows so fond of the aforementioned idea, he does everything he can to ensure its success (stricter demands at Paris peace talks, additional support against the Bolshevik invasion, etc.). His slightly changed perspective on the idea of self-determination also causes a small ripple-effect, which results in slightly different borders of Austria, Hungary, and Greece.
