  "account": "Kevin Wörner, a 33-year-old German, has moved to Warsaw, Poland, where he runs his social media content company, Channel Craft. He is among 4941 Germans who have emigrated to Poland in 2025, making it the country with the highest number of German emigrants, ahead of the UK, Italy, and the Netherlands. Wörner cites Poland's attractive tax environment, modern infrastructure, and digitalized bureaucracy as reasons for his move, noting that he pays only 9% corporate tax in Poland compared to at least 30% in Germany. Poland's economy has grown by 3-4% annually over the past 20 years, and its infrastructure, including transportation and digitalization, is developing rapidly.",
