Poland's influence and potential
Poland might not be a Continental hegemon like Germany, France or UK but it sure has some advantage and influence that sets it apart and may grow to be an economic heavyweight in the future
With a GDP of 900 billion it stands as the 7th largest economy in Europe surpassed by only few heavy weights like
Germany
United Kingdom
France
Italy
Spain
Netherlands
The polish economy has also experienced massive growth over the last few years.
Being also a neighbor to Russia Poland has its own fair share of military strength With over 216,100 active personnel that's in 2024, this means the Polish Armed Forces are the third largest military in NATO, immediately after Turkey and the United States. Which means it surpasses Britain, France and Germany.
In a few days from now Poland will decide who will be their leader.
Will they vote for a more conservative and nationalist leader that may hinder their slowly growing influence or will they go for a liberal leadership.
