The Federation of Intermariner Socialist States, commonly known as the Intermarium, was a federal socialist state in Eastern Europe and predecessor to modern states of Belarus, Lithuania, Poland and Ruthenia. With a population of approximately 45 million inhabitants near the end of its existence, it was the most populous communist and Eastern Bloc country in Europe after Germany.
The country would come to a collapse with the death of Józef Cyrankiewicz, with the increase of unemployment and inflation, and rising ethnic nationalism. Efforts to transition back to a democracy failed, and Belarus and Lithuania called for secession. The federation formally broke up on 1994, with the start of the Intermariner Wars.
