Warmian-Masurian Voivodship
Warmia i Mazury (officially, the Warmińsko-Mazurskie Voivodship) is an administrative region or voivodship of north-eastern Poland. The capital is Olsztyn.
It was created on 1 January 1999 out of the former Olsztyn and parts of Suwalki and Elblag voivodships as a result of Local Government Reogranization Act of 1998. The voivodship's name recalls the region's two historical lands of Warmia (German: Ermland) and Masuria (Mazury).
The territory is just south of Russia's Kaliningrad Oblast. It was once the southern part of East Prussia.
