They computed it by taking the center of the minimal bounding rectangle.
To me a more natural approach would be to take centroid of the country, i.e. its center of mass.
So I set out to download all borders from Natural Earth, that provide 10 meter approximations to country borders as polygon(s).
As it turns, Croatia's mainland's center (below in blue) is located inside Croatia, but if we include enclaves and islands, it pushes the center (yellow) a few kilometers south, to Bosnia.
A few other countries do not include their own centroid. One of them is Israel, whose center lies near Hebron:
A full list is given below.There's a somewhat interesting issue concerning locating the centroid of a large country, especially near a pole.
At first I just located the centroid of the resulting Mercator projection of the borders (i.e. x = lon, y = log(tan(PI/4 + lat/2))).
This projection distorts areas -- the closer you are to either poles, the larger you seem to be.
A more accurate approach would be to calculate the centroid of spherical polygons; I used this result.
The difference between the two approaches can be huge when countries include areas near the pole.
An example to that would be the US; after 2D projection, Alaska's area explodes disproportionally and pushes the centroid away (below, red); the true spherical centroid (blue) is somewhere around South Dakota.
Here's a full list of all the territories Natural Earth gives.
Click on one of them to get the map and its spherical centroid.
