Where it is
Poland is grouped in Central Europe, within Roam’s Europe region. Its land-border list includes 7 countries in this atlas: Belarus, Czechia, Germany, Lithuania, Russia, Slovakia, Ukraine. The source classifies it as not landlocked.
Poland has a recorded area of 312,679 square kilometres. Among the 6 countries assigned to Central Europe in this dataset, it ranks 1 by area, from largest to smallest. Hungary is immediately below it, at 93,028 km². This comparison uses the source’s area figures and subregions, not a ranking of all territories.
The marker shows the atlas location. Small countries may be too small for an outline at this scale. Map boundaries are illustrative.
People, languages and currency
The World Bank records 36,435,861 people for Poland in 2025. This is the latest non-empty annual observation in Roam’s committed 2020–2025 download, rather than a live population counter. Dividing that population by the source area gives approximately 117 people per square kilometre. This calculated average does not describe how evenly people are distributed.
The language entries in the source are Polish. They describe the dataset’s listed languages, not every language spoken by residents. The currency listed for this date is Polish Zloty (PLN). Currency assignments are selected from Unicode CLDR’s date ranges for 23 October 2026; the three-letter codes identify currencies, not countries.
