CROATIA - GEOGRAPHY
Croatia is located in Southern Europe.
Croatia has a shape that resembles a crescent or a horseshoe which helps account for its many neighbours: Slovenia, Hungary, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, and Italy across the Adriatic. Its mainland territory is split in two non-contiguous parts by the short coastline of Bosnia and Herzegovina around Neum.
Its terrain is diverse, containing:
plains, lakes and rolling hills in the continental north and northeast
(Central Croatia and Slavonia, part of the Pannonian plain);
densely wooded mountains in Lika and Gorski Kotar, part of the Dinaric Alps;
rocky coastlines on the Adriatic Sea (Istria, Northern Seacoast and Dalmatia).
The country is famous for its many beautiful national parks.
Croatia has a mixture of climates. In the north and east it is
continental, Mediterranean along the coast and a semi-highland and
highland climate in the south-central region.
National Geographic Magazine in 2005 named Croatia as the most beautiful country in the world. Croatia offshore, has more than 1,000 islands varying in size.

Demographics
The
population of Croatia has been stagnating over the last decade. The
1991–1995 war in Croatia had previously displaced large parts of the
population and increased emigration. Some Croats who fled the country
during the war are returning. The natural growth rate is minute or
negative (less than ± 1%), as the demographic transition has been
completed half a century ago. Average life expectancy is approximately
75 years, and the literacy rate is 98.5%.
Croatia is inhabited
mostly by Croats (89.9%). There are around twenty minorities, Serbs
being the largest one (4.5%) and others having less than 0.5% each. The
predominant religion is Catholicism (87.8%), with some Orthodox (4.4%)
and Sunni Muslim (1.3%) minorities. The official and common language,
Croatian, is a South Slavic language, using the Latin alphabet. Less
than 5% of the population cites other languages as their mother tongues.
There is also a sizable German and Austrian minority. There is an increasing Chinese population in the bigger cities, most of whom reside in Zagreb. There are an estimated 1500 - 3000 Chinese nationals living in Croatia today.
