Poland, officially the Republic of Poland, is a country located in Central Europe, covering an area of 312,696 km of land. It has a population of nearly 38.5 million people. The capital of Poland is Warsaw, and other major cities include Krakow, Lodz, and Gdansk.
90% of people in Poland identify as Christian, with 6% of people saying they do not identify with any religion, 3% choosing not to answer and only 1% of people belonging to various other religions.
