Institutions of the EU include the European Commission, the Council of the European Union, the European Council, the Court of Justice of the European Union, the European Central Bank, the Court of Auditors, and the European Parliament. The European Parliament is elected every five years by EU citizens. The EU's de facto capital is Brussels." [European Union. Wikipedia]

"The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), also called the (North) Atlantic Alliance, is an intergovernmental military alliance based on the North Atlantic Treaty which was signed on 4 April 1949.

NATO's headquarters are in Brussels, Belgium, one of the 28 member states across North America and Europe, the newest of which, Albania and Croatia, joined in April 2009." [NATO. Wikipedia]

"The 2013 enlargement of the European Union saw Croatia join the European Union as their 28th member state on 1 July 2013.
Croatia is the second former Yugoslav republic to join the European Union after a decade-long negotiation process. The country applied for EU membership in 2003, and the European Commission recommended making it an official candidate in early 2004. Candidate country status was granted to Croatia by the European Council in mid-2004. The entry negotiations, while originally set for March 2005, began in October that year together with the screening process." [2013 enlargement of the European Union. Wikipedia]

"A thematic map is a map that focuses on a specific theme or subject area, whereas in a general map the variety of phenomena - geological, geographical, political - regularly appear together. The contrast between them lies in the fact that thematic maps use the base data, such as coastlines, boundaries and places, only as points of reference for the phenomenon being mapped. General maps portray the base data, such as landforms, lines of transportation, settlements, and political boundaries, for their own sake." [Thematic map. Wikipedia]
