About Slovakia

Austria to the west, Poland to the north, Ukraine to the east and
Hungary to the south. Slovakia and the Czech Republic used to be a united country known as Czechoslovakia until the peaceful 'Velvet Revoloution' in 1989. By 1991, Slovakia had declared itself a new sovereign state with a new capital: Bratislava.
