Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania (German: Mecklenburg-Vorpommern) is a Bundesland (federal state) in northern Germany.

It has an area of 23,170 km² but has only 1.7 million inhabitants, making it the most sparsely populated German state. The Baltic Sea's beaches and islands, as well as the many lakes in the interior, attract many tourists every year. There are two universities and a number of universities of applied sciences (Fachhochschule).

The largest cities are Rostock, Schwerin, Neubrandenburg, Stralsund, Wismar and Greifswald. All have a population of less than 200,000.
