But not a nation. The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was a multinational federation.
>The Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth was immensely multicultural throughout its existence — it comprised countless religious identities and ethnic minorities inhabiting the country's vast territory.[213] The precise number of minority groups and their populations can only be hypothesised.[214] Statistically, the most prominent groups were the Poles, Lithuanians, Germans, Ruthenians and Jews.[215] There were also considerable numbers of Czechs, Hungarians, Livonians, Romanis, Vlachs, Armenians, Italians, Scots, and the Dutch (Olędrzy), who were either categorised as merchants, settlers or refugees fleeing religious persecution.[215]
