Generalgouvernement


Explanation:
Wobec mnogości możliwości proponuję oryginalną nazwę niemiecką również używaną przez źródła anglojęzyczne:

The western and northern parts of Poland were annexed to the Reich, the southern and eastern part received the status of a colony, named Generalgouvernement (ruled by Hans Frank)
