Info by Gwidon S. Naskrent , 15 Dec 2000
On July 18, 1998, the Sejm, which is the lower house of Polish Parliament,
approved legislation transforming Poland's 49 provinces into 16 new ones,
a process which is part of an administrative reform. The Sejm voted 326-45-41
for the measure, one of many in a package of legislation aimed at doing
away with the communist era administration and shifting power to local
governments. On July 27, 1998, President Aleksander Kwasniewski signed
into law a bill dividing Poland into 16 new provinces. On August 7, 1998,
the government decided there will be 308 counties (powiaty) in Poland.
A number of cities (65 of them) will have county rights. The decentralization,
being a result of territorial reform which will take effect on January
1, 1999, has broad support. These decisions ended the argument concerning
administrative reform.

Why do some Polish counties have a triangular fly and others do not? Do
they represent some specific region, and therefore the shape is indicative
of this situation?
Blas Delgado Ortiz , 30 Oct 2001
County flags have been designed only since the regional reorganization
of 1999, so it's quite early to look for common patterns. So far there
are two regional patterns:
Malopolskie vojvodship : some counties,
but by no means all, use the civic Malopolskie
flag with the CoA of the county in the center.
Wielkopolskie vojvodship : the Wielkopolskie
flag has the trapezoid pattern, now taken over by several (but not
all) counties.
