It would probably be worth creating a fu'ivla for "Croatia". I don't know
how "Croatia" is pronounced in Croatian, but using the English
pronunciation, you would get something like "gugdrkro'eyca", which like most
fu'ivla, I find pretty unpronouncable! Perhaps someone with the required
arcane knowledge could come up with a stage 4 fu'ivla.

By the way, I've been wondering if the word "cravatte" (tie) and its
equivalent in other languages comes from "Croat", since apparently it was
brought to England by an English soldier who saw Croatian irregulars wearing
it.
