Commonwealth of Poland and Germany

The Commonwealth of Poland and Germany (Deutche: Gemeinschaft Polen und Deutschland; Polskie: Rzeczpospolita Polska i Niemcy) is a hypothetical union of the Federal Republic of Germany and the Republic of Poland. It was proposed by former Polish president Lech Walesa in 2013 and dubbed the “Commonwealth of Poland and Germany” by Polish-born American writer Maciej J. Bartkowski.
In an interview of Russian media in which he called the United Nations and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization “ideas of an old era” and “badly organized,” Walesa said “we need to expand defense and economic co-operation . . . to create one state from Poland and Germany in Europe.”<ref name="telegraph.co.uk"/><ref name="nationalpost.com"/>
