Good lord, I have to get me this game. Seems rather awesome. Aaaanyway...

On the military sector, have you considered an alliance with Finland and Sweden and then a strike against poland? It wouldn't be too capable to resistance, and it should be quite easy to foster dislike against it. It'd place you in a position where you could easily expand south and then strike either against the middle east or central europe. (This shall be known as operation Typewriter).

As for financing this shizz...

I'd expand my intelligence and research sectors, while implementing long-term supply-side policies. That is to say, invest much of the government's budget into further infrastructure improvements. The downsides of higher taxation will be offset by the multiplier effect (every dollar that the government spends will be spent again by the consumer receiving it, generating wealth continuously)...

As for your inflation? If anything it should be going down, since you're taxing the country, resulting in less income and thus in less demand. If you wanna raise it again, interest rates are good...
Alternatively you could implement some labor reforms, decrease the amount of workers, possibly by just raising unemployment benefits or lowering the minimum age for retirement. That'll raise your approval ratings again, counteracting any increases in taxation.

Back to grand strategy, once your infrastructure is awesome, your economy is stable, your research is advanced, your alliances are secure and poland's image is wrecked, (Should take a while), then you start building up your military and initiate operation typewriter.

...

But that's just my two cents.
