Poland is the 9th largest country in Europe

Poland is a parliamentary republic. Its official name Rzeczpospolita Polska (Republic of Poland) dates back to the early 16th century. A "small constitution" which came into force in December 1992, was to define the powers of, and relationship between the Head of State, the Government and parliament, pending the completion of a full revision of the existing Constitution. Under the 1952 Constitution, as amended since 1989, legislative power is vested in the bicameral National Assembly, which is elected for a four - year term, subject to dissolution, and comprises the 100-member Senate (upper chamber) and 460 member Sejm (lower chamber and former unicameral legislature).
