2015 estimate
Bulgaria's population of 7.2 million people is predominantly urbanised and mainly concentrated in the
administrative centres of its 28 provinces. Most commercial and cultural activities are centred on the
capital and largest city, Sofia. The strongest sectors of the economy are heavy industry, power
engineering, and agriculture, all of which rely on local natural resources.
The country's current political structure dates to the adoption of a democratic constitution in 1991.
Bulgaria is a unitary parliamentary republic with a high degree of political, administrative, and
economic centralisation. It is a member of the European Union, NATO, and the Council of Europe; a
founding state of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE); and has taken a
seat at the UN Security Council three times.
