The Republic of North Macedonia benefits from being located at a critical intersection of transportation routes, particularly the north–south route from the Danube River to the Aegean Sea and the famed east-to-west trade routes connecting the Black Sea and Istanbul with the Adriatic Sea. This pro-Western state encourages a civil law system for both natural-born citizens and citizens by investment.

North Macedonia is mostly mountainous, with Mount Korab (2,752 metres) on the Albanian border being its highest point. The region is covered in green forest areas closer to the Šar Mountains in the northwest. The abundant lush valleys provide a fertile investment landscape.

Agriculture and trade are currently the mainstays of North Macedonia’s economy. Bulgaria, Germany, Greece, Italy,, Serbia,  Romania and the United Kingdom are the state’s leading commercial partners. The main exports of the nation are food, apparel, and accessories.

Since then, this strategy has resulted in the creation of over a dozen distinct geographic FEZs, with the additional perk of a 10-year tax break. Due to the nation’s beneficial FEZ policy and low tax rates (10% personal and corporate income tax and 18% general VAT rates), foreign investors are drawn to the country and help to grow the economy.
