The country declared independence from Yugoslavia in 1991 and changed its name to North Macedonia in 2019 after resolving a dispute with Greece.

The population comprises Macedonian and Albanian communities, each maintaining their languages, traditions, and religious practices throughout the diverse regions.

The capital Skopje connects the nation through its central position, international airport, and extensive transportation network linking major cities and neighboring countries.

Lake Ohrid, one of Europe's oldest lakes, contains multiple endemic species and features medieval monasteries recognized as UNESCO World Heritage sites.
