Available only with the Poland: United and Ready DLC or the No Step Back DLC enabled.
Poland gets a unique national focus tree as part of the free DLC Poland: United and Ready. It was then updated with the 
No Step Back DLC. If certain DLCs are not enabled, only part of the focus tree will be available.
Polish national focus tree. Clicking on the branches leads to the appropriate section.
The Polish national focus tree can be divided into 10 branches and 9 sub-branches:
- The Four Year Plan Branch
- The industrial branch gives Poland factories, research slots, railways and infrastructure. It also removes and delays the Peasant's Strike penalties.
- Develop Polish Ship Building/ Clamp Down on Danzig Branch
- This allows either the subjugation of Danzig or transfer of industry to Gdynia. It also boosts Poland's naval capacity by building dockyards and giving it naval tech bonuses.
- Prepare For The Next War Branch
- This gives bonuses to army and airforce technologies. It also allows the modification of foreign materiel designers to not require consumer goods factories.
- Plan East/ Plan West Sub-branch
- This allows Poland to prepare for a future invasion from the
Soviet Union and/or the 
German Reich depending of the side of the sub-branch. Until the player has completed one side of the sub-branch, the other side cannot be started.
- Complete the April Constitution Branch
- The historical branch forces Poland balance between the Sanation Left, Sanation Right factions in the government with the risk of a civil war.
- The Sanation Left Sub-branch
- The upper part of the sub-branch gives concessions to the Sanation Left faction whilst making the Sanation Right side unhappy. The middle focus aligns Poland to the Sanation Left, thus removing the possibility of chosing other Sanation Right or the Castle focuses. The lower focuses allows the creation of a Baltic Alliance and allows for a
Democratic Poland.
- The Sanation Right Sub-branch
- The upper part of the sub-branch gives concessions to the Sanation Right faction whilst making the Sanation Left side unhappy. The middle focus aligns Poland to the Sanation Right, thus removing the possibility of chosing other Sanation Left or the Castle focuses. The lower focuses allows the creation of a Baltic Alliance and allows for a
Fascist Poland.
- The Castle Sub-branch
- The upper part of the sub-branch appeases both the Sanation Left and Sanation Right and keeping
non-aligned support. The middle focus keeps the Castle as head of the government, thus removing the possibility of chosing other Sanation Left or the Sanation Right focuses. The lower part of the sub-branch is allowed to be selected if the other Sanation factions are chosen. It allows Poland to align with the Allies and asks or demands alignment from 
Lithuania or 
Romania
- Restore the Sejm Branch
- This branch allows Poland to choose either Democratic, Fascist or
Communist ideologies. It is only available if the DLC No Step Back is disabled.
- Organize the Peasant's Strike Branch
- This allows Poland to side with the Peasant Revolt and either go Democratic or Communist after a civil war. The Communist path gives Poland the choice to align with the Soviet Union or go independent. If Poland chooses to go Democratic, it has the choice to join the Allies or form a new faction with
France. It also allows Poland to gain colonial holdings in 
Liberia or Madagascar.
- Assemble the Regency Council Branch
- This branch allows Poland to form a Monarchy and elect a King.
- The Habsburg Sub-branch
- This elects Karl Albrecht I as King of Poland and allowing him to become a field marshal. It creates a
Personal Union with 
Czechoslovakia with the possibility of annexation and coring. It installs Otto von Habsburg as King of 
Hungary giving Poland a choice to make an alliance. It also gives cores and a war goal to several German states.
- The Hohenzollern/ The Commonwealth Claimant Sub-branch
- This elects either Michael I of Romania or Friedrich Christian as King of Poland. The Hohenzollern side allows Poland to create a Personal Union with Romania and
Hungary with the possibility of creating the 
Kingdom of Poland-Romania. The Commonwealth side mirrors several focuses from the Lithuanian national focus tree and allows Poland to form the 
Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth
- The Romanov Sub-branch
- This secret sub-branch is only available if the player elects "Anastasia Romanov" as King of Poland through events. It gives war goals against the Soviet Union and
Yugoslavia. It also allows the creation of the Slavic Union formable nation.
- The Cossack-King Sub-branch
- This elects Pavel Bermondt-Avalov as King of Poland, allows him to become a field marshal and switches the ruling party to Fascism. It gives war goals for the Baltic and Slovakian States and gives the player the choice between getting claims on and going to war with Germany or becoming its
Reichsprotectorate for claims on the Soviet Union. Completing 
"Complete the Bermontian Mission" focus allows the creation of the 
Don Host and the 
Kuban Host as independent nations or puppets of Poland.
- A Nationalist Constitution Branch
- The Fascist branch allows Poland to become a Reichsprotectorate of Germany and give them land for a chance to gain territory in a future war with the Soviet Union and it may allow Poland to declare a war for independence. Part of this side is shared with the Cossack-King Sub-branch. The player may also chose for Poland to be independent of Germany and make its own faction with other Falangist nations.
- The Between The Seas Concept Branch
- The Międzymorze branch of the tree allows Poland to ally
Finland, 
Denmark, 
Sweden, 
Norway, 
Estonia, 
Latvia, Lithuania, Czechoslovakia, 
Austria, Hungary, Yugoslavia, 
Greece or 
Turkey, and 
Italy.
- Prepare for the Inevitable Branch
- These focuses allow Poland to continue the war effort even if it has capitulated with off map factories and manpower increases. It is available if the
Man the Guns DLC is enabled.
- Expand Polish Intelligence Sub-branch
- These focuses allow the expansion of the Polish intelligence agency. It is available if the
La Résistance DLC is enabled. If the Man the Guns DLC is disabled, this sub-branch is still available as a separate branch.

Develop Polish Ship Building Danzig is hopelessly lost to the vile regime of the Nazi party, and Polish trade must find a way to subvert the effective embargo the Nazis hold over our economy. We may never recover Gdańsk, but perhaps we may be able to turn Gdynia into a great seaport to rival Gdańsk in grandeur. |

Clamp Down on Danzig Officially, Danzig is a free city under Polish protection, but as of late, the city has fallen into Nazi control and is a puppet to Adolf Hitler in all but name. This blemish on our Northern border is nothing but an obstruction to Polish trade and we must reassert control over the city, or risk crumbling to the Germans. |

Common Organization of Society Sławek has long had the ambition to replace the BBWR with a power structure he calls the “Common Organization of Society”. This structure would uniquely grant great local autonomy to Poland’s states and townships, while centralizing the government in a strong authoritarian regime ready to interfere in local governance in times of war. With the Left in power, Sławek may at last fulfill his ambition. |
