Poland
In this centrury it seems that Poland has come in a full circle. It started out as an average European country and eneded up as the same: a country with a healthy acconomy, stable social structure, and viable government. The most interesting part of history is not the parts that are described like that. It is the same with Poland: the most interesting historical events have thrown the country into turmoil, even into war. They have, as a country, had to recognize such problems as racism and unfair prejudice based upon faith and ethnicity. They have also had to overcome being conquered, several changes in government, and political upheaval. In the process, the people have had to change their ideological practices, if not change their beliefs. Sometimes they embraced ideas and systems thankfully and gladly. Other times they had to be forced. Such times as those could be tragic or celebratory and, on ocassion, they were both.Historically, Poland has been an area of conflict because of its flat terrain and the lack it has of natural borders on the northe
The president of Poland, Aleksander Kwasniewski, has been in office since 1995, and Prime Minister Jerzy Buzek has been in office since 1997. 95 percent of the people (and about ¾ of those people are practicing) are Roman Catholic. Elections for president are held every five years. There are 16 provinces: Dolnoslaskie, Kujawsko-Pomorskie, Lodzkie, Lubelskie, Lubuskie, Malopolskie, Mazowieckie, Opolskie, Podkarpackie, Podlaskie, Pomorskie, Slaskie, Swietokrzyskie, Warminsko-Mazurskie, Wielkopolskie, and Zachodniopomorskie. Poland has been in history a country very proud of its ethnic and purity, taking its xenophobia to an extreme and putting the smack down on the local jews. It is a mix of Continental (Napoleonic) civil law and holdover communist legal theory. Gradually changes have been and will be introduced as part of broader democratization process. The people reflect this in their collective identity. The upper house (with 100 seats) is called the seate, or Senat. Of those people, the average lifespan is 73. In conclusion, I would state that Poland is fascinating country and doing this report has barely satiated my curiosity about the country. My report is about Poland, the country today. Poland is a nation of many faces, with mostly Polish people, there are also a very few German, Ukranian, and Byelorussian in residence.
