Hello! Is there a diplomatic option for form the Intermarium in game? As Poland or other intended members. This would form an interesting power in Eastern Europe, as is based upon a real concept advocated in the interwar period.
Does the Intermarium exist in the game?

You will surely be able to form it diplomatically. But you won't have it as an option in a focus tree in any of the countries, because they are minors and won't have special focus trees from release. Maybe later when they make dlc's. I would guess that focus trees for eastern european nations would be highly interesting to many people, as they were very influential in the war.

I am totally dedicated to a WW1 & Interbellum scenario. In which you'll be able to play Poland after WW1 and make that happen.

I agree. I would assume a Polish focus tree would be the first choice for an expansion with minor focus trees; hopefully in this, there are decisions to make it happen. Obviously it needs to be difficult, as it didnt happen in real life due to fear of becoming a minor part in a new Polish commonwealth. Still if the threat is large enough, and governments compliant enough, there should be a chance!
I'm a huge Victoria 2 fan, and obviously WW1 falls into the realm of that franchise; I am however sort of dissapointed that there are no real depictions of it in the games. I would actually love an expansion , or even standalone for HoI4 that tackles the first World War. I would however also love an expansion for Victoria 3 with the same theme.
IIRC the minor focus tree has a part of the tree where you can create your own custom faction, which you can name. So you might actually be able to do this.
You just don't have all the historical flavor that the majors get in their trees.
Minor focus trees would be welcome additions most certainly in the future.
I have fond memories of the Historical Plausibility Project in HoI3. Austria begging for help could cause a German-Italian war early on. Sometimes WW2 could start because Poland and Lithuania get into a row over the city of Wilno/Vilnius and the Soviet Union decides to join in, etc.

It is totally not realistic at all. Only the Polish wanted it, everyone else basically opposed it. Also many Poles opposed it as well. Only Piłsudski was crazier than Hitler and Stalin combined.

All I can say is that realism in this sense shouldn't be a factor; there are plenty of other decisions in game that are mere fantasy. It would be a fun feature, and hopefully difficult.

Of course realism should be a factor. Also by the beginning of the game the Polish drastically reduced their ambitions to include a triple alliance between Poland, Hungary and Romania. But Hungary and Romania were basically arch enemies and it was a doomed idea from the beginning. The Polish did manage to get a treaty with Romania but not Hungary. Hungary was much closer to Germany and while it had good relations with the Polish, the Polish could not offer Hungary anything. Hungary wanted back the territories that only with German help that Hungary could get back. Hungary profited from both the First and Second Vienna awards.
