Gregory's Server8/ The border shifts leads to some odd situations like a Polish 🇵🇱 train line that crosses back across a strip of Germany 🇩🇪 between two Polish stations.

 10/ Final bit of #geoweirdness: Polish 🇵🇱 postal codes consist of five digits, but there is a dash between the 2nd and 3rd digits (example: "12-345"), which is good fun for software that assumes postcodes contain only alphanumeric characters. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postal_codes_in_Poland See our guide to common misconceptions about postal codes: https://opencagedata.com/guides/how-to-think-about-postcodes-and-geocoding |
9/ While Poland 🇵🇱 has no territorial exclaves, there is a massive Polish diaspora, especially since Poland joined the EU 🇪🇺 in 2004.
As an example Polish is the second most spoken language in 🇮🇪 Ireland, with Poles making up >2% of the population.
