Living in Poland
In 1999 Poland became a part of NATO and in 2004 it
joined the European Union.
Poland formerly played host to many languages, cultures
and religions. However, the outcome of World War II
and the following shift westwards to the area between
the Curzon line and the Oder-Neisse line gave Poland
an appearance of homogeneity. Today 36,983,700 people,
or 96.74% of the population considers itself Polish
(Census 2002), 471,500 (1.23%) declared another nationality.
774,900 people (2.03%) didn't declare any nationality.
The officially recognised ethnic minorities include:
Germans, Ukrainians, Lithuanians, Jews and Belarusians.
The Polish language, a member of the West Slavic branch
of the Slavic languages, functions as the official language
of Poland. Most Poles adhere to the Roman Catholic faith,
and 75% count as practising Catholics. The rest of the
population consists mainly of Jewish, Eastern Orthodox
and Protestant religious minorities.
Climate Poland
Poland enjoys a temperate climate, with cold, cloudy,
moderately severe winters and mild summers with frequent
showers and thunder showers.
