Masovian
The flag of Masovian Voivodeship features a white eagle on a red field, representing the historic Duchy of Masovia. The Masovian eagle is a variant of the Polish eagle, reflecting the deep connection between this central region and the Polish state. Masovia (Mazowsze) is Poland's largest and most populous voivodeship, encompassing the capital city Warsaw. The Masovian Piast dukes ruled this territory independently until it was incorporated into the Polish Crown in 1526. The flag honors this long ducal tradition while also serving the modern administrative region that drives Poland's economy.
Masovian Voivodeship produces over 22% of Poland's GDP, making it economically larger than many European countries, and Warsaw's skyline is the most skyscraper-dense in central Europe.
