 | Polish is the main representative of the Lechitic branch of the West Slavic languages. |
| Polish became far more homogeneous in the second half of the 20th century, partly due to universal education, but also because of the mass migration of several million Polish citizens from the eastern to the western part of the country after the east was annexed by the Soviet Union in 1939, during World War II. |
| Polish is highly inflected and retains the Old Slavic case system: six cases for nouns, pronouns, and adjectives, plus a seventh case for direct address, the vocative for nouns and pronouns (very often replaced by nominative). |
| Monarchy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (2704 words) |
| The economic structure of such monarchies is often of concentrated wealth, with the majority of the population living either as agricultural serfs, or, as in Gulf Monarchies, a paternalistic model showering benefits on the citizens (while politically they may remain subjects) and importing cheap foreign labor. |
| The hellenistic kings of Macedon and of Epirus were elected by the army (a body that was very close in composition to the ecclesia of democracies, the council of all free citizens; military service was often linked with citizenship) among the male member of the royal house. |
| Currently, there is some controversy over the succession laws of some monarchies in the European Union (EU), such as that of the United Kingdom (UK) or the Scandinavian monarchies, which require their Monarch to be of a certain faith (in the UK under the Act of Settlement 1701). |
