Catholic countries normally don't get any colonists. However, Spain, Portugal and France have something called 'colonial dynamism' which gives them a lot of settlers. The same goes for orthodox Russia.

Lutheran nations get 1 settler every year. Reformed protestants get 3. Shipyards (werft) give an extra settler, although you won't get more by building several shipyards.

So, the only ways Poland can get settlers are building a shipyard or reforming.

The colonist related values in the text files appear to have no effect on the game. At least, I have not managed to change the settler rates by tinkering with colonist.csv and 1492.inc. I would guess that this is now hardcoded into the present code.
