Is Poland a Southern or Northern European country?

Or is it in Central Europe?

Remember, there is no Eastern Europe and no Western Europe in this discussion.

Questions you may want to ask yourself to help formulate an opinion would be:
Does it snow a lot in winter?
Do Polish people wave their arms around a lot and get all emotional?
Beer and spirits or red wine?
There's no time like the present, or manana?

North-ish.

Central for me, cold winters and very hot summers.

Southern Central.

When the question was west or east, I devised a system by which the Greenwich meridian is the point by which the various compass-point derived divisions of Europe should be set. I din't post my map showing north and south because it wasn't relevant to that discussion. Now, three months on, it is time for me to show you all what is north, what is south and what is central. Again, I have used Greenwich as the central point. All countries entirely north of the latitude of Greenwich are northern, all that are entirely south of that line are southern Europe, and countries that span this line are central European countries. Enjoy.

What is Europe anyway?

Who can tell? These are two of the three maps I just got from a search of "Northern Europe"

Northern Europe?

Northern Europe?

i read an interesting article recently that used the Greenwich meridian as the same point of reference to show that all of europe, and a substantial part of north america, central and southern asia, is infact part of england. fascinating stuff

Woul Scotland be considered Northern Europe?

Nah, Scotland is definitely in the south, LOL

strange that N.Ireland is central...yet ROI is northern?...maybe someone is reading their map upside down:)

Not anymore...



Yes...



Beer and spirytus...



No idea...

So ? Northern or southern... ?

Based on your answers, I would probably say central.

Poland is a mediteranean country which lies near Baltic Sea by mistake.

well, we once had a coast on Black Sea, which is quite southern for me, but we lost those lands :(

Northern-central country.

A cold Northern European country! How can it be a Southern European country unless you are looking at it from the North Pole!

Wouldnt every country being a southern country if you were looking at it from the north pole:D

Not necesserily true if you are looking at Greenland!

Greenland is south of North Pole.

If you watch from Kremlin every country is west.

Maybe ideallogically

Not geographically

When the countries of the world are described as northern or southern, Australia is usually put into the north.

If you're in Oodaaq, Greenland everybody else is south from you.
If you're standing in the geographic South Pole in Antarctica no matter if you take a left or a right, go straight ahead or even backwards, you go NORTH.

I think it is intersting link (again wiki)

Oh please Lukasz don't start with that Eastern or Central Europe crap again. Who cares?
Some people just carry such a chip on their shoulder...

On the world map by Microsoft , Poland is a Southern part of the Baltic Sea:

Haha... That's a good one... We're all under water :D I'm afraid to open the window now... I don't want my flat to get all flooded :P

From a marine point of view, that kind of works. Britain is in the Atlantic. Italy is in the Mediterranean, so why shouldn't Poland be in the Baltic? At least it's not so unlucky as all those landlocked countries where the herrings never go.
