What is Poland B as opposed to Poland A and the otherway-round. [45]
poland A and B :) as a inhabitant of "A" i would love to hear how we are ahead, compared to those form "B" part. and yes - we have more industry, more motorways (at least southern poland), better salaries, etc. but i have family living in city of przemyśl and in the bieszczady region, and i can assure you, that they have better life. they aren't so poor as it seems from pure statistics - i think that there is a large-scale economical "grey zone" - which is invisible to official statistics - e.g. they are going to ukraine for cheap petrol, etc. in mine opinion much more poor than e.g. podkarpackie (south-eastern corner) is warmińsko-mazurskie (middle-north) which is poland "A"
i will give you an example how poland "B" from przemyśl, krosno and surroundings is poor:

so, division between "A" and "B" part has a strong historical background, but today it's not so simple to say witch part of poland belongs to A or B...
edit -> i almost forgot about possibility to exclude warszawa from mazowieckie, because mazowieckie compared to city of warszawa is just poor. warszawa raises the income statistics of whole region, which makes more difficult to obtain financial support from the union for the mazowickie region. ha. mazowiecke was always counted as "A" :)
