Poland
Poland is a parliamentary republic with a prime minister who is the head of government and a president who is the head of state. The government structure is centred on the council of ministers. The country is divided into 16 provinces (voivodeships), largely based on the country’s historic regions. Administrative authority at provincial level is shared between a government-appointed governor, an elected regional assembly and an executive elected by the regional assembly.
