Yea, Croatia is the only place it got widely used. Is it some kind of historical elective course in Croatian schools? Been a coupe of times in Croatia, never seen Glagolitic in the wild, though. Maybe wasn't looking good enough.

Is it some kind of historical elective course

No, there was a poster showing correspondence with Latin on the wall, somewhere. The symbols are almost 1-1 with modern orthography, so it takes only about a week of practice. And I was really bored.

It's about as distant from modern use as runes are for germanic speakers, but maybe with different connotations. Decorative nonsense.

But I did submit essays written with that when I wanted to fail with style. :)

I also met a guy in college who used it to keep notes. That guy was also bored.

I guess I'll just add you guys to the "overzealous Witcher fans" and consider my point valid.
