The tie that men wear around their necks is in many languages called a cravate or similar. France had a cavalry regiment called the Royal-Cravate Cavalerie, The word Cravate was derived from the word Croate, and members of the regiment had ties of cloth bound around their neck. Other poeple liked and copied this fashion and called it à la croate/cravate.

We also have a border with Montenegro. It's a small border of only 12 miles long, but in Croatian schools the teachers will always remind you.

One clue: "Hrvatska" is an adjective! It actually just means "Croatian". It's a short version of the term "Hrvatska država/zemlja" which means "Croatian land", in which the "ska" is suffix for adjectives. That's also the case with Polska. It's like when you want the Cesar Salad, but you just say "Cesar". It's implied that it's a salad, so you don't say the word salad. That's why you can say just Hrvatska instead of Hrvatska država. That stuck for the last 1400 years!

There is a legend in Croatia about the name Hrvati and Hrvatska. In the 7th century when Croats migrated to land of Croatia (Dalmatia) there were 7 tribes of Croats with 5 brothers and 2 sisters as chieftains, and the oldest of the chieftens names was Hrvat. Because of that the people choose the name Hrvatska for the land.

[@macedonian75]

and in the Macedonian language it is pronounced Hrvatska (Хрватска), Pozdrav od Makedonija do Hrvatskiot narod.
