Yes it borders the Black Sea at its eastern seaboard, and Macedonia lies to its west and Romania to its north. and it is the oldest country in Europe. The capital Sofia is a modern European city, but there are many villages in the mountains that have hardly been touched by Westernisation. And many mountain roads are potholed and impassable in winter.
Many English people, attracted by low property prices are buying up properties in the ski resorts of Pamporovo and Banko, and in the Eastern seaside resorts. So the country is unevenly developed, with pockets of wealth and large areas of deprivation and dependency on a rural economy.

The Bulgars, a Central Asian Turkic tribe, merged with the local Slavic inhabitants in the late 7th century to form the first Bulgarian state. In succeeding centuries, Bulgaria struggled with the Byzantine Empire to assert its place in the Balkans, but by the end of the 14th century the country was overrun by the Ottoman Turks. Northern Bulgaria attained autonomy in 1878 and all of Bulgaria became independent in 1908. Having fought on the losing side in both World Wars, Bulgaria fell within the Soviet sphere of influence and became a People's Republic in 1946. Communist domination ended in 1990, when Bulgaria held its first multiparty election since World War II and began the contentious process of moving toward political democracy and a market economy while combating inflation, unemployment, corruption, and crime. Today, reforms and democratization keep Bulgaria on a path toward eventual integration into the EU. The country joined NATO in 2004.

I do!
I did a report on your country in school when I was 10 years old. I got low marks because I made the Soviet Union too big on the map I presented to the class.
