Why do two voivodeships have two capitals?

Lubusz and Kuyavian-Pomerania have the governor in one city and the assembly in another, so both are marked: Gorzów Wielkopolski and Zielona Góra, Bydgoszcz and Toruń.

Is there a worksheet version?

Yes — choose the numbered style: the voivodeships are numbered and pupils write each name and capital, with the answers on page two.

Do the small ones get names?

Yes. Where there is no room inside, the name is set outside with a thin line to it, so none is left off; A3 paper gives them more room.

Why are some dots without a name?

Łódź, Lublin and Opole share their voivodeship’s name, which is already on the map, so their dots stand alone. The other 15 dots are named, Warsaw with a ring as the national capital.

Is anything uploaded?

Example

All 16 voivodeship capitals on A4, both seats of Lubusz and Kuyavian-Pomerania marked

A student revising for a geography quiz on Poland prints the page as it opens: A4 landscape, the 16 voivodeships named and 18 capital dots, Warsaw ringed. 15 dots carry a name; Łódź, Lublin and Opole are dots alone, as each city has its voivodeship’s name. Every name fits inside the map with no leader lines, on A4, US Letter and A3 alike.

To self-test, “Numbered, to write the names and capitals” gives poland-capitals-worksheet.pdf: the map numbered in the table’s order with the dots, two lines each, the answers on page two.
The answers give one seat for the two shared ones, where the governor sits: Bydgoszcz for Kuyavian-Pomeranian and Gorzów Wielkopolski for Lubusz. Count Toruń and Zielona Góra as right too.
