Some more fun facts about Croatia:

1) Plitvice lakes are often named the most beautiful piece of nature in Europe
2) Second longest wall in the world (after The great wall in China) is in the city of Ston
3) 1/8 of entire country (500 000 people) came to welcome our football team in Zagreb upon their World cup final match, even though they lost

5) Croatia is believed to be the greatest sporting nation in the world (per capita of course). Just open any list of Croatian sports achievements, there's too much to list here, I already tried with inventions...
6) Zagreb is named the best advent (pre-Christmas) city in Europe for three years straight. It was also named the cleanest and safest European capital multiple times.
7) Marco Polo was a Croat from the island of Korčula.
8) Dalmatian dogs (the dotted ones) are originally from Croatian region of Dalmatia

10 and beyond) Croatia has: the smallest city in the world (Hum), narrowest street in the world (Vrbnik), richest finds of neandertals in the world (Krapina), oldest european calendar (Vucedol), 1200+ islands, a shape-shifting beach (Bol), 7th tallest men, and finally 4th alcohol consumption per capita in the world!


Few observations about the video:
The content is mostly right, the video is really good, but what bothers me is such a wrong usage of connectors...
For example:
1) "Although Croatia is one of the more recent countries to join the EU, they do not use the Euro". Why although? Would it be logical if they are the last to join but are already using the Euro?
2) "Believe it or not, Croatia is predominantly a Christian country". Why wouldn't we believe it? It's located in the freaking middle of Europe, what should it be? Hinduistic? Damn.

Also, you could've provided a timeline of cultural influences instead of just saying "4 cultures and many others". You forgot the ancient Greek influence which was really dominant before Romans came - they actually founded most coastal cities.

Croatia is specifically a very Catholic country.
As for the sea organ, I visited it a few years ago.
It's a southern Slavic society as well.
The coastline is absolutely stunning, with waters so clear you can watch a coin fall to the bottom of many harbors.
Then there's Dubrovnik. This magical city is known by all Game of Thrones viewers.
