Accept "Skłodowska" for the nobelist - she was Polish after all and she only accepted her husband's surname as the second one

Firstly Maria Skłodowska also should work because it was her real name: Maria Skłodowska-Curie. Secondly we all Poles use names pierogi and pączki. 3rd issue I didn't know how to spell Tur in English. 4th The last king was Stanisław August Poniatowski. Stanislaw was only his first name, in Poland we call kings by their surnames. 5th Also Mikołaj Kopernik should work because it is his real name. 6th First name of Chopin is Fryderyk not Frederic. 7th Oder id Odra in Polish so it also should work. 8th I think Solidarność is more popular name than Solidarity of that trade union. But thanks for making quiz about Poland :) you probably didn't know about those facts.

Copernicus didn't have a "real name" (at least no "real" spelling): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicolaus_Copernicus#Name.

If you ask for a dumpling (singular), then the right answer is pierog - pierogi is the plural form!

Accept Odra and Wisla since those are the only names Polish people use for the rivers. Also "paczek" should also be accepted since it's the singular version of paczki.

How you expect answers if you don't accept correct spelling or non Polish keybord. Solidarity should also be accepted as Solidarnosc and Paczki you cant spell different in English you need Polish keybord

Agreed, that would be an interesting addition. And maybe those Polish soldiers who were sent to Haiti to crush the rebellion but ended up helping the rebels because they realised their struggle was just. One of my favourite stories from history, gives you back some faith in humanity.

River at the German/Polish border can be also Lusatian Neisse. You should be more precise.

If we're being pedantic, Copernicus didn't "create" (that would be whatever higher being you believe in) or even really "discover" (Aristarchus of Samos, Seleucus, and many others before Copernicus) the heliocentric model. A better clue would be "Polish astronomer who popularized the heliocentric model" or something like that.

Perhaps he didn't create or discover heliocentrism but he still did create the most accurate heliocentric model for the solar system

Is it just me, or is this quiz particularly difficult among the country quizzes? I feel some of the questions here are rather specific. Might just be that I don't know much about Poland though.

Shouldn't solidarity mean a worker union, not trade ? Also solidarity protested against polish communist government, not USSR or eastern block at all
