North Macedonia.
The facts behind the story.
Explore recorded businesses, places, travel years, and international connections. Read what the figures mean, then choose a research path that fits your next business conversation.
YOUR QUESTION COMES FIRST
What would you
like to explore?
Choose a question below. Each path uses the evidence available for North Macedonia, with its own dates and coverage.
Where should I look more closely?
GeoNames includes 2,773 location records, such as cities, towns, villages, and city sections. Open a place to review its location, time zone, and available population information.
Find a city or village →How can we start a useful conversation?
The country reference lists 5 languages. Agree on a meeting language, then explore international networks and available U.S. community connections.
Prepare for an introduction →What can the travel years tell me?
The latest available observation is 260,883 trips abroad in 2021. Compare the recorded years to choose changes worth investigating.
Read the available travel history →Start with a lead, then ask a business question. A recorded place can help you identify someone to research. Confirm customer demand, supplier fit, and operating details with the people involved.
Two collections.
Two ways to understand a place.
Foursquare describes recorded businesses and other gathering places. GeoNames helps you find named locations such as cities and villages. Keep their totals separate because they describe different things.
Historical business and place records
Explore recorded shops, services, restaurants, cultural attractions, and other places. Category fields describe the place types where that information is supplied.
See what makes up the collection →City, town, village, and related location records
Find a named place and review the available geographic facts. The collection also includes city sections and some historical locations.
Explore named locations →Use these as historical research references. Records were collected in 2026 and include source status information. Check a place’s details before planning a visit or making an introduction.

Foursquare Open Source Places
99,600 business and other place records. Historical source records, including source-classified closed and review records. Not a census of businesses.
GeoNames populated-place reference
2,773 populated-place feature records. Every feature-class P row in the complete downloaded allCountries file. No country, population, ready-lead, or top-N filter. Includes villages, city sections, and historical or abandoned populated-place features; inspect the feature type. Not a list of formal city governments or sister-city partners.
Prepare the conversation.
Start with language.
Language shapes the first meeting, written material, and follow-up. Ask your host which language works best and whether an interpreter would help.

Know the networks.
Plan the conversation.
International organizations and forums provide context for cross-border conversations. Follow the official links below to explore the programs, policy information, and regional connections that fit your business question.
| Organization | Country’s relationship | What you can explore |
|---|---|---|
| UN ↗United Nations | Member state | Explore the country’s diplomatic participation and published UN information. |
| NATO ↗North Atlantic Treaty Organization | Member state | Understand the country’s security-alliance setting before researching a relevant sector or program. |
| WTO ↗World Trade Organization | WTO member | Research trade commitments and policies before choosing a market-entry route. |
Choose a program or rule to investigate. A listed membership explains an international relationship. Check which requirements, services, or opportunities apply to your own plan.
Which organizations were checked, and what does membership mean?
Reviewed lists: UN, NATO, APEC, G20, ASEAN, EU, and WTO. Reviewed October 23, 2026. This selection is not a complete list of every international affiliation.
APEC lists member economies. Observer relationships retain their source status. A regional organization’s membership is kept separate from the membership of its individual countries.
Membership alone does not establish a tariff preference, access to a particular program, or a completed business deal.
Read the value.
Understand the comparison.
The measures below describe this historical place collection. Use them to understand how much recorded information is available and how you might explore it.
A snapshot position is not an overall country score. Each position compares the named measure within its stated group of countries and territories. Read the actual value as well as its position. Near-complete mapping coverage can receive a low position when other geographies have slightly higher percentages.
| Measure | Recorded value | What it helps you understand | Snapshot position |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mapped and categorized place recordsRecords with a usable map location and a place category, outside the source’s closed and review groups. | 93,342 | Use these records when you need both a map location and a recorded place type. | 62 of 248 |
| Place records retained for explorationRecords outside the closed and source-review groups when this historical collection was built. | 94,275 | These records were outside the snapshot’s closed and source-review groups. Confirm operating details before making contact. | 63 of 248 |
| Records with a websiteThe share of all country place records with a website address. | 2.02% | A recorded website gives you a route to further research. A blank field does not establish that a website is absent. | 200 of 237 |
| Records with a categoryThe share of all country place records with a category name or identifier. | 98.97% | Use the categories to explore the recorded businesses and gathering places that fit your question. | 26 of 237 |
| Records with valid coordinatesThe share of all country place records with valid latitude and longitude. | 100.00% | Nearly all recorded places can be located on a map. The percentage describes this collection’s mapping coverage. | 1 of 237 |
| Records retained for exploration: shareThe share of all country records outside the closed and source-review groups. | 94.65% | This is the share outside the closed and source-review groups when the snapshot was built. | 173 of 237 |
| Records marked for source reviewThe share of all country place records with unresolved source flags. | 0.18% | These records need another source check. A higher position means a larger share flagged for review. | 219 of 237 |
| Records with a closure dateThe share of all country place records with a closure date recorded in the source. | 5.16% | These records contain a closure date. This is not an annual business-closure rate. | 39 of 237 |
Comparison groups, missing values, and source-status definitions
Count positions cover the geographies in the source’s count comparison group. Percentage positions use the group that meets the source’s minimum record-base rule. The size of each comparison group appears beside its position.
“Not supplied” means a value is absent. “Not ranked” means no position is published for that measure. Neither is changed to zero.
“Retained for exploration” means the record was outside the source’s closed and unresolved-review groups when the snapshot was built. A closure date or source-review flag describes the stored record; it does not measure a country’s annual business performance.
Very high coordinate coverage can receive a low relative rank when comparison geographies also have near-complete coordinates.
