Macedonia, officially the Republic of Macedonia, is a parliamentary republic in the Balkan Peninsula of Eastern Europe. It is a landlocked country, bordered by Serbia to the north, Albania to the west, Bulgaria to the east and Greece to the south. It gained independence in 1991, when it separated from the former Yugoslavia; it is subdivided into 85 municipalities.

The Republic of Macedonia covers a total area of 25,713 km² of predominantly mountainous territory, with rugged peaks reaching as high as 2.500 m in the north and west, interspersed with deep valleys and basins. The few lowland plains are found along the valley of the river Vardar, which is also the location of the capital Skopje. The population numbers 2,058,539 (2011) and is made up of a Macedonian majority, with Albanian, Turkish, Romanian and Serbian minorities.

The official language is Macedonian and the local currency is the Macedonian Denar.

The local economy has experienced very slow growth; the country has poor infrastructure and a very high rate of unemployment. The most important economic activities are agriculture (cereals and tobacco), mining and manufacturing (iron and steel, textiles and tobacco).
