Croatia is a former Yugoslav republic on the Adriatic
Sea. It is about the size of West Virginia. Part of Croatia is a barren, rocky
region lying in the Dinaric Alps. The Zagorje region north of the capital,
Zagreb, is a land of rolling hills, and the fertile agricultural region of the
Pannonian Plain is bordered by the Drava, Danube, and Sava Rivers in the east.
Over one-third of Croatia is forested.
