Croatia - Population and Languages
The population of Croatia in 2003 was estimated by the United Nations at 4,428,000, which placed it as number 115 in population among the 193 nations of the world. In that year approximately 13% of the population was over 65 years of age, with another 20% of the population under 15 years of age.
Religion of Croatia
For many people, Catholicism is a symbol of nationality even though they may not attend mass or participate in other religious activities or ceremonies. Most young people are baptized, and most marriages are conducted in a church. Other religions include Eastern or Serbian Orthodox, Islam, Judaism, and Protestantism. Since the war, there has been a more visible presence of Protestant missionaries, including members of the Church of the Latter Day Saints and Jehovah's Witness. There is some interest in Eastern religions, such as Buddhism, among young adults.
Croatian cuisine
Croatians are very proud of their traditions especially when it comes to their cuisine. Most of their food and drink traditions were of foreign influences, particularly Italian, Austrian, Hungarian and Turkish food. Croatian cuisine is very diverse. Aside form the nice places we can see there, their food is also to die for.
