Poland is the largest of the four Visegrád Group countries by total area, covering about 312,696 square kilometres.
The Visegrád Group consists of Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Slovakia. The four Central European countries cooperate on regional political, economic, and cultural issues. Their partnership was formed in 1991 in the Hungarian city of Visegrád.
Poland is geographically larger than each of the other three members and has the group’s largest population. Its territory stretches from the Baltic Sea in the north to the Carpathian Mountains in the south.
The group’s name is sometimes written V4. The comparison concerns the four member states themselves, not every country historically associated with Central Europe. Poland’s size also makes it the largest European Union member in the group.
