    Albania (/ælˈbeɪniə, ɔːl-/ ( listen) a(w)l-BAY-nee-ə; Albanian: Shqipëri or Shqipëria;

    Gheg Albanian: Shqipni or Shqipnia also Shqypni or Shqypnia),[6] officially the


    Republic of Albania (Albanian: Republika e Shqipërisë, pronounced [ɾɛpuˈblika ɛ
    ʃcipəˈɾiːsə]), is a country in Southeast Europe on the Adriatic and Ionian Sea within
    the Mediterranean Sea. It shares land borders with Montenegro to the northwest,
    Kosovo[a] to the northeast, North Macedonia to the east, Greece to the south and a
    maritime border with Italy to the west.

    Geographically, the country displays varied climatic, geological, hydrological and


    morphological conditions, defined in an area of 28,748 km2 (11,100 sq mi). It
    possesses remarkable diversity with the landscape ranging from the snow-capped
    mountains in the Albanian Alps as well as the Korab, Skanderbeg, Pindus and
    Ceraunian Mountains to the hot and sunny coasts of the Albanian Adriatic and Ionian
    Sea along the Mediterranean Sea.

    Historically, the area of Albania was populated by various Illyrian, Thracian and
    Ancient Greek tribes as well as several Greek colonies established in the Illyrian
    coast. The area was annexed in the 3rd century by Romans and became an integral
    part of the Roman provinces of Dalmatia, Macedonia and Illyricum. The autonomous
    Principality of Arbër emerged in 1190, established by archon Progon in the Krujë,
    within the Byzantine Empire. In the late thirteenth century, Charles of Anjou
    conquered Albanian territories from the Byzantines and established the medieval
    Kingdom of Albania, which at its maximal extension was extending from Durrës
    along the coast to Butrint in the south. In the mid-fifteenth century, it was conquered
    by the Ottomans.

    The modern nation state of Albania emerged in 1912 following the defeat of the
    Ottomans in the Balkan Wars.[7] The modern Kingdom of Albania was invaded by
    Italy in 1939, which formed Greater Albania, before becoming a Nazi German
    protectorate in 1943.[8] After the defeat of Nazi Germany, a Communist state titled the
    People's Socialist Republic of Albania was founded under the leadership of Enver
    Hoxha and the Party of Labour. The country experienced widespread social and
    political transformations in the communist era, as well as isolation from much of the
    international community. In the aftermath of the Revolutions of 1991, the Socialist
    Republic was dissolved and the fourth Republic of Albania was established.

    Politically, the country is a unitary parliamentary constitutional republic and


    developing country with an upper-middle income economy dominated by the tertiary
    sector followed by the secondary and primary sector.[9] It went through a process of
    transition, following the end of communism in 1990, from a centralized to a market-
    based economy.[10][11][12] It also provides universal health care and free primary and
    secondary education to its citizens.[5]

    The country is a member of the United Nations, World Bank, UNESCO, NATO,
    WTO, COE, OSCE and OIC. It is also an official candidate for membership in the
    European Union.[13] In addition it is one of the founding members of the Energy
    Community, including the Organization of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation and
    Union for the Mediterranean.
