For centuries the Slovakian people were subjected to domination by stronger political entities, including the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Habsburg Empire.
Long a part of Czechoslovakia, Slovakia became and independent nation on January 1, 1993.
Farming, forestry, mining and manufacturing are important industries, as well as a flourishing tourism business.
The country is two-thirds mountainous, and ski resorts in the Ore and Carpathian Mountains are growing in popularity.
The Slovakia maps and information pages are currently being revised, and will be posted soon.
