B. About ePoland History
A very nice overview provided by Mizeroi
"There are events you could mention.
1. Battle of Rhone Alps
2. Battle of BaB (lost, but it was huge huge battle)
3. Betrayal of polish MUs - event with many repercussions to present. It was right after the fall of long-term relations with Croatia. Many polish citizens disagreed with polish government, who decided not to keep alliance with Croats. It leaded to awkward situation when players called them-self 'patriots' decided to join anti-polish alliance. It was like 3 years ago, but the hate between Crolaks (Croat+Polak) and Polish is still in mind of old players.
4. Shaql the Cracker - the event took place 4 years ago and it's like polish Watergate, cause involved many important players like Mixliarder - the leader of the biggest polish party and few others. The thing was about cracking citizen accounts which was more or less ordered by Mixliarder. Shaql - the guy who did this left the game and Mixliarder was sentenced by polish Congress for an exile. He moved to Estonia when he became the president.
5. Wybranowski PTO - it was very clever action of taking over the biggest polish party by one guy. Wybranowski made a new account and for many months pretended to be someone else. He became a trustful member with full access to internal small talks and after being chosen as party president he revealed himself and published all top secret data. Lot of fun."

Update: We thank you for this very nice article! 🙂
Nie było nic o grafenie.
Nic o Sosnowcu - kolebka śląskiej kultury.
Nic o tym, że 2016 to 54 rocznica chrztu Polski.
Nie było nic o grafenie.
Żenada.
Zakop.
Sosnowieś to nie miasto, to stan umysłu
I am really sorry that I disappointed you. A small eRepublik article cannot cover all the marbles or great achievements of a country.
Nor a foreigner like me can know all about Poland.
He was joking 😃
Sorry for spam, now I know that you already know it 😛
54 rocznica?
Nie 1050?
aż zal odpowiadać
You know what?
Dude is doing this for fun. In english so everyone can understand.
It's a lot better than nothing.
Don't like it? Feel free to make a better one.
Feel free to write a 100 page article about this beautiful country, so people can comment "TLDR".
It's so easy finding problems in other people's work. It so hard finding problems in someone's work if he does nothing.
Show me your best English article about somebody else's country. I want to make fun of it.
Oh, you don't have any?
XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
