Why is it a state, tho?
A long line of fuckups between Charlemagne painting map and Soviets stopping in Berlin.
Don't forget Caesar Augustus letting that dumbass Varus lead his legions, it had to do with that too.
I don't really think that Roman victory back then would do anything to prevent the rise of Germany as a nation, Rome was simply unable to permanently conquer Germania as the subsequent decades clearly shows. And even if they did managed it, it would probably actually speed things up - note how Germany for the most of their history were disunited.
Then why is Poland a state of mind?
One of the older polish internet memes is "Russia is not a state, it's a state of mind" based on weird Russian social media. But looking at Poland, it's at best pot calling kettle black (and adding history to that it's more of a black hole calling kettle black) so Poland is a state of mind ever more. Plus i created that account to shower some polish facts on unsuspecting chapo people so Poland needed to be in username.
