Bulgaria is a country in
Southeast Europe. It occupies the whole eastern part of the
Balkans, and is bordered by Romania to the north, Serbia and
North Macedonia to the west, Greece and Turkey to the south,
and the Black Sea to the east. Bulgaria covers a territory
of 110,994 square kilometers and is the sixteenth-largest
country in Europe. Sofia is the nation's capital and the
largest city Bulgaria is a developing country, with an upper-middle-income economy, ranking 56th in the Human Development Index. Its market economy is part of the European Single Market and is largely based on services, followed by industry—especially machine building and mining. Widespread corruption is a major socioeconomic issue; Bulgaria ranked as the most corrupt country in the European Union in 2018. The country also faces a demographic crisis, with its population shrinking annually since around 1990; it currently numbers roughly seven million, down from a peak of nearly nine million in 1988. Bulgaria is a member of the European Union, NATO, and the Council of Europe; it is also a founding member of the OSCE, and has taken a seat on the United Nations Security Council three times. ![]() |
