Croatia



Croatia is another of the former Yugoslav Republics, only unlike the others it is a true Western Democracy with enlightened Capitalist ideals and belief in the One True Faith. Croatia credits a visit by Pope John Paul II some time shortly before the fall of the Berlin Wall and the end of Communism with freeing their country from the evil clutches of Godless Communism.

Croatian History
Croatia invented the necktie. Cravat = Croat. Thanks, Croatia.

Croatian Geography
Croatia is Austria's Mexico and Serbia's Canada.

Croatian Culture
They're Catholic. Really, really Catholic. Not as into the whole ethnic-cleansing thing as the Serbs or the Bosnians, and not as crazy as the Slovenians. Way more fun than the Austrians, but unpredictable like the rest of the Balkans.
