D8 (Croatia)
The D8 state road is the Croatian section of the Adriatic Highway, running from the Slovenian border at Pasjak via Rijeka, Senj, Zadar, Šibenik, Split, Opuzen, and Dubrovnik to the border with Montenegro at Karasovići. Most of the D8 state road remains single carriageway, though with some dual carriageway stretches. The total length of the road through Croatia is . Until recently, the road was the primary route connecting the Adriatic coastal parts of Croatia. Since the 2000s, multilane motorways have taken over most of its traffic, and yet more motorways are still being built along the coast. The motorways parallel to the road are the A7 ( Rupa border crossing – Rijeka – Sveti Kuzam), A6 (Rijeka – Bosiljevo) and A1 (Zagreb – Bosiljevo – Zadar – Split – Ploče), sections of the proposed Adriatic–Ionian motorway.

Settlements in Croatia, in Croatian ''naselje'' ( pl. ''naselja'') are the third-level spatial division of the country, and usually indicate existing or former human settlement. Each Croatian city or town (''grad'', pl. ''gradovi'') or municipality (''općina'', pl. ''općine'') consists of one or more settlements.

The Croatian Bureau of Statistics publishes their decennial census data on the basis of official settlement (naselje) data from the Register of Spatial Units by the State Geodetic Administration. , there are 6 757 settlements in ...
