  1. Hey everyone,

    so I’ve been working on this project for some weeks now. I started with Germany and then moved on to the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg. People on my Patreon voted for Poland next – so here you go.

    However, I do not speak polish and I now very little about the country. I learned a lot during my research and fell in love with your beautiful country.

    How you can help:

    * the Names: most of them must be horrible, I apologize! with the other countries I made some puns with the original names of the cities or some meme related to them. do you have any ideas?
    * Local Folklore: I probably missed a lot of local traditions and legends that would fit very well in a fantasy setting. If you feel like anything should be there (ancient volcanos, swamps, orc villages, etc.) let me know
    * Memes: someone told me that Szczecin doesn’t really exist – hence the joke with the mist; anything similar to this? any good and bad reputation some regions/cities have?

    Thank you for your help in advance.

    (P.S.: Sorry, if I violated any rules of this subreddit. I don’t speak polish. I’ll be quick to adjust if you tell me my mistakes)

  2. I think that you might make Silesia more of a industrial wasteland ? It would be funny.

    Świętokrzyskie is known for its mayo which is kind of a Polish meme.

    We make fun of Podlasie saying that its underdeveloped, wild and the primal tribes live there.

    EDIT

    Poles obsession with beavers (aka Bóbr kurwa) might be a funny thing to include as well

  3. Most of names are good and funny. Only one I think you should correct is Czarny Podlaska – should be Czarna Polaska.

    About memes etc. We like to make fun of Radom, Łódź and Sosnowec as polish “bermuda triangle”
