Poland officially the Republic of Poland is a country in Central Europe. 

Poland is bordered by Germany to the west; the Czech Republic and 
Slovakia to the south; Ukraine, Belarus and Lithuania to the east; 
and the Baltic Sea and Kaliningrad Oblast, a Russian exclave, to the north. 

The total area of Poland is 312,679 km² (120,728 sq mi), making it the 69th largest 
country in the world and 9th in Europe. 

Poland has a population of over 38.5 million people, which makes it the 
33rd most populous country in the world.

The establishment of a Polish state is often identified with the adoption of 
Christianity by its ruler Mieszko I in 966 (see Baptism of Poland), 
when the state covered territory similar to that of present-day Poland. 

Poland became a kingdom in 1025, and in 1569 it cemented a long association 
with the Grand Duchy of Lithuania by uniting to form the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. 

The Commonwealth collapsed in 1795, and its territory was partitioned among 
Prussia, Russia, and Austria. 

Poland regained its independence in 1918 after World War I but lost it again in 
World War II, occupied by Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. 

Poland lost over six million citizens in World War II, and emerged several years later as a 
socialist republic within the Eastern Bloc under strong Soviet influence. 

In 1989 communist rule was overthrown and Poland became what is constitutionally 
known as the "Third Polish Republic". 

Poland is a unitary state made up of sixteen voivodeships (Polish: województwo). 

Poland is also a member of the European Union, NATO and OECD.
