Captions available
The idea
The anchor calls Poland-Lithuania a state in rapid, painful decline and stops. The witness explains: an elective monarchy, a nobility whose veto paralyzed the diet, and a Russian empress who became the kingdom's protector in seventeen sixty-eight before dividing it.
In practice
The one state on unit 04's map too weak to survive.
Where people slip
This entry rests on the witness texts, not the anchor.
