The Most Honourable Marshal of the Socialist Republic Jan Kotoński (also known as Jás Kotoński), is a Ireland-born Polish micronationalist who is serving in many high positions within the Galway Micronational Sector, serving as the first Premier of the East Galway Commune, second Vice President of Ballinfoyleburg, the second Minister of Propaganda and Public Enlightenment of Roscamistan and the first Minister of Transportation of Roscamistan. He is also the “Polish Messiah”, as proclaimed by the Cult of Jan.
Early life
Not much is given on Kotoński’s early life, except he was born in 2009 to Polish parents in Ireland.
He meet the future Vice President and First Secretary of State of Roscamistan Culann Burke when he was young through a friend of Burke’s who lived close to Kotoński. Kotoński went to the same primary school as Culann Burke until Burke left that school when he was 10.
Micronationalism
East Galway
He began his micronationalism when he met Andrew Brotherton, a South African-Irish friend of Burke’s he met outside of school, and Matthew Williams, a Irish lad who lived two years in Germany, at his new school. Kotoński, Williams and eventually Brotherton had one major thing in common, the communist ideology. He, and the two others along with a few others in September 2021 formed the East Galway Soviet, comprised of the People’s Executive, the forum called the People’s Assembly, and the Supreme People’s Court. He was chosen at the first meeting of the Soviet to be the first Premier (known then as Chairman). Andrew Brotherton became Vice-Premier (known then as Vice-Chairman), and Matthew Williams as General Secretary.
On 7 January 2022, Andrew Brotherton, Vice-Premier (known as Vice-Chairman then) of the East Galway Soviet decided to create a full experiment in Communism, by proclaiming the East Galway Commune, a stateless communist society with elements of direct democracy. Kotoński became the Chairman of the East Galway Commune, short for Chairman of the People’s Executive of the East Galway Commune. On 10 January 2022, Andrew Brotherton proposed that Kotonski’s title of Chairman be changed to Premier, he agreed and became known as the Premier of the People’s Executive of the East Galway Commune. He won a confidence vote on 1 February 2022, giving him a clear mandate to continue his administration.
On 8 April 2022, the First Kotonski Executive was dissolved, and replaced by the Provisional Government of East Galway, in order to transition to a new system. On 26 April the provisional government dissolved, and a parliamentary republic was formally set up. Former general secretary of the commune Matthew Williams became President, whilst Kotoński stayed as Premier.
Roscamistan
He became a member of the Cabinet of Roscamistan when he was appointed by President Andrew Brotherton as the second Propaganda Minister on 30 December 2021, after Adam Flannery, temporary dictator of Roscamistan under the Senatus Paramount Ultimatum sacked his predecessor Matthew Williams over the declaration of independence of Ballinfoyleburg 12 days prior.
He became the first Minister of Transportation on 16 January 2022, when Andrew Brotherton created the Ministry of Transportation, giving Kotoński a secondary position within the Cabinet.
On 26 March 2022, with unofficial support from Andrew Brotherton, Kotoński overthrew Acting President Culann Burke, who himself came to power by virtue of being First Secretary of State and since Adam Flannery missed his inauguration. Kotoński later was installed as Provisional President, and a de facto military administration was set up.
On 8 April 2022, Adam Flannery returned from his inactivity and became President of Roscamistan, replacing Kotoński.
Ballinfoyleburg
Kotoński became a citizen of Ballinfoyleburg in January 2022, staying a low profile figure. He was later appointed Vice President of Ballinfoyleburg on 19 February 2022.

Kotoński is an avid player of Hearts of Iron 4, and is a self designated “Professional memer”.
