Read the following profile of the country, Bulgaria, and study the map. Next, answer the questions underneath the map.

Bulgaria is a country located at 42° N, 25° E in Europe. It is slightly larger than Cuba or Tennessee. Much of the terrain is mountainous; the Rila Mountains in the south are the highest on the Balkan Peninsula. Plains dominate the northern and central regions. To the east lies the Black Sea. The Danube River constitutes the northern border, which separates Bulgaria from Romania.

The climate is similar to that of the Midwest region of the United States, with cold, snowy winters and hot, dry summers. Northern regions tend to be colder than southern regions, and snowfall is heavy in the mountains. Weather on the coast, however, is quite mild. The average annual temperature is 51°F (11°C) in northern Bulgaria and 56°F (13°C) in southern Bulgaria.

Most Bulgarians are Christians, and the Eastern Orthodox Church claims a membership of almost 60 percent of the population. Many churches contain paintings and icons of significant historical value. Muslims are about 8 percent of the population.

Bulgaria’s official language, Bulgarian, is a Slavic language similar to those spoken in surrounding countries. Other countries with Slavic languages are Russia, the Czech Republic, Poland and Macedonia.

Many Bulgarians use the reliable public transportation system, which consists of buses, trams, trolleys, and trains. Most families own one car, although many roads are in poor shape. Taxis are plentiful in urban areas.

Medical facilities often are not well equipped. Private doctors offer better care to those who can pay for it. The major health problems affecting Bulgarians are cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. Bulgarians have a lower life expectancy than most other Europeans.

In January 2014, EU migration restrictions for Bulgarians were lifted, allowing many to travel and work in EU countries without applying for visas. Some fear that Bulgaria will lose its brightest young people as they apply for higher-paying jobs in more prosperous EU nations.

In June 2014, heavy rainfall and hailstorms damaged much of eastern Bulgaria. Hundreds were without food or electricity, and over a dozen people died.
