Pro-Swedish Poland

Pro-Swedish Poland appears on the map from 1706 to 1712. At its greatest recorded extent, in 1709, it covered about 758,657 km².

One of the realms of Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. The Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania had shared monarchs since 1386, and in 1569 the Union of Lublin merged them into a single Commonwealth with one parliament, the Sejm. It was unusual for its time: kings were elected by the whole nobility, the szlachta, who made up nearly a tenth of the population, and the Warsaw Confederation of 1573 guaranteed religious toleration.
