History

The present-day Polish village Krasne Pole and the present-day Czech village Krásné Loučky, directly across the Czech side of the border, were once a single village. After the Silesian Wars, the newly-drawn border divided the village in two. The division continued through the Communist era of 1945–1990, and the border was not easily crossed until the two countries joined the Schengen Area in 2007.[2]

gollark: Have you considered the PinePhone?
gollark: It's better than no replaceability option.
gollark: It's not just that. You can *replace* batteries if they're removable.
gollark: I have an old phone with a removable battery lying around, but I can't actually charge it due to what seems like a defect with the USB port in all units of it.
gollark: I hate it when phones decide to randomly cut down on external interfaces (µSD, headphone jacks, removable batteries) for no good reason.
