>>18768232ThisI was just about to say that it was just a Commonwealth or Confederation of states, it's literally in the name
>>18768232A Nation is a group of people with a shared ethnic, cultural and political heritage. That concept is older than the concept of the political Nationalism from the early modern period, hence why the term nation predates it by centuryYou are referring to a Nation states which first arose in the early modern period.

>>18768222Russia has done a LOT to try and swipe this under the rug. This and any other non russian states that existed in the south to try and make it sound more legit that "ukraine is russia" and that ruthenians and russians are one and so on.
>>18768707Didnt Ukrainians hate this shithole lmao, Bohdan Khmelnitsky went “Just a couple days in the summer aaaaaooh we can stay in touch you got my number” on PolACKS and Jews

>>18768222They were just not that influential compared to contemporary states. In an era that saw massive government centralization leading to states capable of leveraging massive amounts of power the PLC was characterized by the opposite, not being able to curb the power of its nobility leading to political gridlock.
>>18768222Back in the day, when Saxony was the leading Protestant power im Germany, the Duke got himself elected as polish king. Afterwards, Brandenburg took over.
