    I just counted it because of its involvement with Eastern European countries i know it isn't. Gosh people. for example the Great Northern war involving Denmark, Russia, Poland, and Sweden.

    Poland gets raped.
    Lithuania gets raped.
    Estonia and Latvia get raped.
    Russia rapes, then gets raped and then rapes again before being raped again.
    Serbians rape everybody, miraculously evade being raped.
    Turks rape everybody twice before being raped into obscurity.
    Greeks rape each other.

    That's the main gist of it.

    Poland kept on having uprisings and losing them. Lost all of their wars for independence, they were just sectioned off between Austrians, Prussians and Russians. The only time Poland was relevant was when the Muslims were pissing about around the Danube.

    Actually after Ivan the Terrible died there was a calamity in Russia over the next Czar. A Polish Noble sat on the throne for a year claiming to be his long lost son. Then he was discovered, burned, had his ashes put in a cannon, pointed it towards Poland, and fired. WOW!

    The Poles had it coming. First they had a union with a former heathen nation, then they started conquering former Russian lands and killed of the Teutonic order. But they weren't all bad, they helped the Habsburgs hold off the Ottoman horde and much before that they stopped the Mongol expansion (actually it was Lithuania that allied with them, but still).

    Not to mention one of most tolerant regimes in the world at the time (at least to Jews) and the governmental system was unique as well.
