Starting with a comparison of both countries' flags and coat of arms, demonstrating their interesting differences and similarities. Then going into their territorial history and providing some historical context regarding their shared history and struggles throughout time; namely the various partitions of Poland and the more recent Polish annexation of old German Imperial territories after World War 2. Then, I compare their territory today, focusing on their size but also on their border which follows the Oder Neisse rivers. I then move onto to a brief infrastructure comparison, namely on railways and roads. Moving on to a population comparison: size, distribution, density, demographics, life expectancy, immigration. Then comparion both countries' religion paradigms and showing how Poland is mostly Catholic, while Germany is divided between Catholics, Protestants and Non-Religious people. Comparing government types and currencies (one using the Euro and the other using the Zloty), as well as the two States' military forces. Finally taking a look at their economies, GDP, GDP per Capita, Gini Coefficient, Wealth Distribution, Average Salaries, Inflation and Unemployment. As well as the Human Development Index values, briefly mentioning security and safety too. To wrap up this video I mention the two languages they speak: German and Polish respectively, and how despite being very different they also have some words of common origin.
