Anschluss

Anschluss 🔊 (or Surprise Anschluss, or Anschluß polskan) (Which is translate to English said Connection) is a running gag in the Polandball universe used to describe a countryball becoming a rectangle with small eyes (the "Anschluss eyes") before proceeding to invade and/or annex another countryball.

Historically, it refers to the Nazi annexation of Austria in 1938. The most common example of this is Germanyball becoming Reichtangle. Anschluss can also be used to describe a countryball with dominance in a certain skill.

Countryballs usually say Anschluss in a typewriter font like  (Courier New) The phrase is infrequently followed by zeit.

Anschlussed countryballs don't die. Anschlussed countryballs are wrapped somewhere inside the body of the countryball that anschlussed them. From time to time these countryballs revolt inside the body to be free or they are rescued by another countryball that infiltrated in the body of who captured them. When that happens, the countrytangle begins to regress back to its normal form. Process known as Balkanization.

There are anschluss forms for other countries.
