Albania
Albania is a small country in Southeast Europe, located on the Balkan Peninsula with coastlines along the Adriatic and Ionian Seas. The capital and largest city is Tirana. Its landscape features rugged mountains and fertile lowlands, while the population is about 2.7 million, mainly ethnic Albanians.
The nation declared independence from the Ottoman Empire in 1912 and experienced monarchy, occupation in both world wars, and decades of communist rule before becoming a parliamentary republic. Albanian is the official language, and most of the population is Muslim, with sizable Christian minorities.
The economy is classified as upper-middle income, driven by services, tourism, and manufacturing. Albania is a candidate for European Union membership and has seen steady growth in tourism in recent years.
