'''Poland''' is the main character of the [[Countryball]] universe and a country in Europe. According to Countryball lore, Poland cannot “into space,” which is a reference to the fact that Poland can't go to space at all. The fact that Poland's flag is upside down on a Poland Countryball is intentional, as it is a joke in the Countryball community, starting when the creator of Countryballs, Falco, created the first Countryball comics.<ref> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Countryballs#First_Countryball_strips_and_spread </ref>

Poland was once a puppet of the [[File:Soviet Icon.png|20x20px]][[Soviet Union]] before June 4th, 1989, when the Communists chose to step down due to protesting, and Poland formed a democratic government. The economy may have slowed down, but an economic boom in 1995 saved Poland's economy.

He also joined the Visegràd Group in 1991, then joined [[File:No Icon.png|20x20px]][[North Atlantic Treaty Organization|NATO]] in 1999. Due to the president of the [[File:No Icon.png|20x20px]][[United States|USA]] not letting him in, he blackmailed his way into NATO.

In 2004, Poland voted to join the [[File:EU Icon.png|20x20px]][[European Union|EU]], and in 2007, Poland joined the Schengen Area, allowing other EU member states into it, and Poland is very pro-western.
