Horvaatia

Horvaatia is a fictional sovereign state located in a region bridging Central and Southeast Europe. It operates as a parliamentary republic with a varied landscape of coastal lowlands and inland hills. The capital is Novograd. The official language is Horvaatian; Croatian and Hungarian are spoken by minority communities, and English is common in business and diplomacy.

Horvaatia coalesced from regional principalities in the late 19th century and achieved formal independence after World War I. It adopted a republican framework in the mid-20th century and was reestablished as an independent republic in the 1990s after political reforms. Since then it has pursued regional cooperation and European-style integration while maintaining a distinct national identity.

Horvaatia has a constitutional framework with a largely ceremonial president and a prime minister who leads the government. Legislation is debated in the National Assembly, which has 180 members elected by proportional representation for four-year terms. The judiciary is independent, and local governments administer municipalities and regions.

The economy is mixed and export-oriented, with services as the largest sector. Key industries include tourism in historic towns and along the coast, manufacturing of consumer goods and auto parts, information technology, and agriculture such as wine and fruit production. Horvaatia maintains regional trade links and participates in market initiatives.

Roughly six million people live in Horvaatia, with a Horvaatian majority and minorities such as Croats and Hungarians. Culture blends Central European and Balkan influences, visible in cuisine, music, and festivals. Education and health services are highly developed relative to regional peers.
