  2. Our country consists of 16 counties

  3. Zachodniopomorskie (West Pomerania Province) It was established on January 1, 1999, out of the former Szczecin and KoszalinVoivodeships and parts of other neighboring voivodeships, pursuant to the Polish local government reforms adopted in 1998. It is named for the historical region of Pomerania (Polish: Pomorze). In spite of the name ("West Pomeranian"), the voivoideship does not include the most westerly parts of historical Pomerania, which lie in Germany's Vorpommern(see Western Pomerania).

  4. Pomorskie (Pomerania Province) The voivodeship was established on January 1, 1999, out of the former voivodeships of Gdańsk, Elbląg and Słupsk, pursuant to the Polish local government reforms adopted in 1998. It is bordered by West Pomeranian Voivodeship to the west, Greater Poland and Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeships to the south, Warmian-MasurianVoivodeship to the east, and the Baltic Sea to the north. It also shares a short land border with Russia, on the Vistula Spit.

  5. Warmińsko-Mazurskie (Warmia-MasuriaProvince) The Warmian-MasurianVoivodeship was created on January 1, 1999, from the entire Olsztyn Voivodeship, the western half of SuwałkiVoivodeship and part of ElblągVoivodeship, pursuant to the Polish local government reforms adopted in 1998. The province's name derives from two historic regions, Warmia and Masuria.

  6. Podlaskie (Podlaskie Voivodeship) Itwas created on January 1, 1999, out of the former Białystok and ŁomżaVoivodeships and the eastern half of the former SuwałkiVoivodeship, pursuant to the Polish local government reforms adopted in 1998.

  7. Lubuskie (Lubuskie Province) It was created on January 1, 1999, out of the former Gorzów Wielkopolski and ZielonaGóraVoivodeships, pursuant to the Polish local government reforms adopted in 1998. The province's name recalls the historicLubusz Land (Lebus or Lubus), although part of the voivodeship in fact belongs to the historic region of Silesia.

  8. Wielkopolskie (Wielkopolska Province) It was created on 1 January 1999 out of the formerPoznań, Kalisz, Konin, Piła and LesznoVoivodeships, pursuant to the Polish local government reforms adopted in 1998. The province is named after the region called Greater Poland or Wielkopolska. The modern province includes most of this historic region, except for some south-western parts.

  9. Kujawsko-Pomorskie (Kujawy-Pomerania Province) The Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship was created on 1 January 1999, as a result of the Polish local government reforms adopted in 1998. It consisted of territory from the former Bydgoszcz, Toruń and WłocławekVoivodeships. The area now known as Kuyavia-Pomerania was previously divided between the region of Kuyavia and the Polish fiefdom of Royal Prussia. Of the two principal cities of today's Kuyavian-Pomeranian voivodeship, one (Bydgoszcz) was historically located in Kuyavia, whilst the other (Toruń) was an important town of Royal Prussia.
