  7. Economy? • Banking, telecommunications, real-estate, and transportation make up 60% of the GDP

  8. Physical Geography • Mountains surround them, so they don’t trade much via highways and foot traffic. • Macedonia is landlocked, so they don’t trade much by boat. • Bisected by the Vardar River, so it is a link in the transportation line from Western and Central Europe to the Aegean sea and Southern Europe to Western Europe.
