Croats are Southern Slavic people. They live in Europe in the area of the western balkans, southern central europe, at the eastern coast of the Adriatic Sea and the Pannonian Plain.

Although, Croatia is usually labeled as a balkan state, this is somewhat misleading.
In fact, about 50% of the actual territory of the Republic of Croatia is geographically on the Balkan peninsula, whereas the other half is just to the north of it, including it's capital Zagreb.

Croats make up about 89% of the population of the Republic of Croatia.
About 87% of Croats are nominally Roman Catholic.
They also have a large diaspora, living in the neighboring Bosnia and Herzegovina, Usa, Canada, Germany, South America etc.

Croats speak Croatian language, belonging to the Western branch of southern Slavic languages.
