Hello, this is my country and below I will write a little about it.
Croatia (Hrvatska) is a country situated in Central Europe. Croatia, officially the Republic of Croatia is a sovereign state situated at the crossroads of Central and Southeast Europe, on the Adriatic Sea. It's capital is Zagreb, which forms one of the country's primary subdivisions, along with its twenty counties. Croatia has a total area of 56,594 square kilometres (21,851 square miles) and a population of 4.28 million, most of whom are Roman Catholics. Croatian is the official language of Croatia.

Croatia has many mountains, and its highest peak is on Dinara Mountain. The highest point of the Dinara peak at 1,831 metres (6,007 feet) near the border with Bosnia and Herzegovina. Insular Croatia consists of over a thousand islands and islets varying in size, 48 of which are permanently inhabited. The largest islands are Cres and Krk, each of them having an area of around 405 square kilometres (156 square miles). And the longest island is Pag. It's length is 269,2 kilometers.

The hilly northern parts of Hrvatsko Zagorje and the flat plains of Slavonia in the east which is part of the Pannonian Basin are traversed by major rivers such as Danube, Drava, Kupa, and Sava. The Danube, Europe's second longest river, runs through the city of Vukovar in the extreme east and forms part of the border with Serbia. The central and southern regions near the Adriatic coastline and islands consist of low mountains and forested highlands.

Most of Croatia has a moderately warm and rainy continental climate as defined by the Köppen climate classification. Mean monthly temperature ranges between −3 °C (27 °F) (in January) and 18 °C (64 °F) (in July). The coldest parts of the country are Lika and Gorski Kotar where snowy forested climate is found at elevations above 1,200 metres (3,900 feet). The warmest areas of Croatia are at the Adriatic coast and especially in its immediate hinterland characterised by the Mediterranean climate, as the temperature highs are moderated by the sea.
If you like mountains, rivers, lakes, plains, then the Croatian is the right place for you!
