Country Details
Poland, a central European country, is situated on the southern end of the Baltic Sea.
It's an ancient land, one with a tragic history of military invasions, occupations and the brutal experience of warfare.
Since the end of World War II, and the eventual fall of Communism, Poland has moved to a free-market system. It's still struggles with a complete economic revolution, but the 21st Century has definitely arrived.
Coal production (is and was) a major industry, but Poland is also a productive farmer, (livestock, potatoes and wheat) and an offshore petroleum producer.
Tourism is on the increase in Warsaw, and hiking and skiing aficionados are now venturing into the southern mountain regions.
The Poland maps and information pages are currently being revised, and will be posted soon.
