Bio sheet slov.

COUNTRY INFORMATION

Official Country Name: Slovakia, Slovak Republic, Slovenska Republika ((i thought I'd point out how incredible feminine "slovakia" and "Slovenska Republika" sound to me though Slovensko totaly is a guys name XD))

Capital: Bratislava

Largest City: Bratislava

Languages: Slovak (but due to the many oppressions/similarities I'm sure she knows Czech, polish, and simple Hungarian) and Slovak is sometimes called "Slavic Esperanto" because it is regarded as the most comprehensible language for the speakers of other Slavic languages.

Government: Parliamentary republic

Current Leader: Andrej Kiska

HUMAN INFORMATION

Human Name: Anna Kovačová (for female names you would add "ova" to the end. It's both a czech and slovak name so that is why czech shares the last name.)

Nickname[s]: "the little big country" and "geographical heart of Europe (for tourism mostly though )"

Age Appearance: 18-19 (but technically 21 in 2014) she is a young but old country according to many sources and aged really slowly, so she appears younger than she actually is. This is mostly because she was of the Kingdom of Hungary for almost 1000 years. She grew the fastest durning the 900th century and durning the Ottoman Empire when the kingdom of Hungary, durning ww2, and after the dissolution of Czechoslovakia.

Gender: female ((please don't take offense in this, slovaks))

• I made her female and confirmed it because of a few reasons, most of them being personal opinions

• Slovakia sounds feminine, especially when you say the full name in slovak "Slovenská republika" and slovakia is "Slovensko" and usually girls have thier famine names shortened to masculine names like Samantha-->Sam.

• Slovakia was under Hungary's rule for a long time like I stated, and women in those days were put second, this could also stand for her place in Czechoslovakia. But she's not a MarySue come-save-me-hungary-chan!!! She has an independent atmosphere, and even saved hungary from the ottomans.

• just because she's a girl that she can't kick a$$, she saved hungry from the ottomans.

• i think because Romania is a dude, Hungary should also have a female rival. (She's surrounded by to many men).

• okay this is a joke but slovak women are stereotyped to be porn-star gorgeous and actually are four times more likely to marry outside of Slovakia then the men are. And now-a-days Slovakia is gaining a lot of attention for foreign investment. (Somebody shoot me please)

• I'm not sure about this one but it is weird a proven fact is that hitler's mothers side was very wealthy and mothers didn't breast feed their children them selves. But maidservants did and some people think that the reason why hitler got along so well with Joseph Tiso and the slovak state was because the woman who breast fed him as a child was a slovak woman. Kinda random but still a fact all the same.

Birthday: January 1st (the dissolution of Czechoslovakia)

ABOUT THEM

Personality: she's the type of nation that tends to be more sociable with her inhabitants than most mother nations. Being that slovaks are very social, they love going out with friends and such. Though at the same time slovakia tends be on the quieter side mostly because she's outspoken a lot, which is one reason of why she doesn't have a lot of confidence in her abilities. For example you probably won't see a lot of slovak flags out unless in the Olympics or events like that.

She also isn't much of a talker or the social butterfly (with other nations at least) mostly because a lot of major trading partners are inside of Europe. So she's not really outgoing unless its those around her (you can almost take that literally ). which also makes her appear to be slightly awkward at times.

Slovakia learns from her mistakes and from that she is a hard worker and has been for a long time. And this leads to her business side which is noticed and commented by a lot of tourists (especially by Germans). But even with that is said that she gets her work done but is not at all in a rush. She the type who doesn't have a system but is organized at the same time.

One of her bad tendencies is her stubbornness. She's incredibly stubborn especially when it come to Hungary, or competitions just in general. A modern instance is with the Greek debt problem, being that she didn't want to pay for a country who was in fact richer than herself. Also she definitely thinks that her hockey team is one of the best, if not the best in the world and doesn't really like it when you say (or suggest) otherwise. And she is the best at canoeing, you cannot tel her otherwise.

Another one of her characteristics is that when she does talk she's incredibly blunt. Being that there really isn't "small talk" in slovakia. But she often makes the quiet remarks in the background.

One of her most distinct features is her sense of hospitality, if you tell her your coming over there will be a ton of snacks, and drinks. And if you come unexpectedly she will offer food and snacks (a very common stereotype and fact about them). And with the American pilots that crashed in slovakia they were treated as the slovaks own family and most tried her best to protect them; like they were her own children, like most did. Where she does show her hint of her motherly nature.

But as a side note she loves parties, clubs, and beer. It runs in the family.

Hobbies: engineering (since ww2 and up), especially in the car industry, folk dancing, hiking, rock climbing, and HOCKEY, she's incredibly good at canoeing being that every year that they have been in the oylmpics shes has gotten a metal and has won many world championships, and is pretty active though hiking and other sports, also she likes to go out on weekends to clubs and bars. Slovak artists are well known for their pottery works. They also make small porcelain figurines. Throughout Slovakia there are artists selling painted Easter eggs, cornhusk figures, hand-knit sweaters, wood carvings, walking sticks, cuckoo clocks, and toys of many varieties. Popular hobbies for women are sewing, embroidering, and lacemaking. Most embroidery work is done in the winter, and many designs have special names: the "lover's eye" or the "little widow." Sewing skills are also used for making traditional Slovak costumes. Other crafts include metalworking and woodcarving.

Vices: stubborn, sassy, acts cold sometimes, pressured into stuff regularly, has a slightly dark humor, appears to be rude, low confidence, is to blunt, and keeps to her own language if she can even if others hate it, "do what it takes" attitude, overprotective (sometimes)

Virtues: quiet, hard working, hospitable, kind, gets her work done, honest, doesn't rush, not uptight, and tries to finish what she starts, she active, and humble.

Likes: the Tatras, hiking, loves engineering, hockey, forests (being that forty percent of the country is covered with them), chaimois, a bunch of other outdoor activities, loves high calorie foods, she also likes white stags (they are seen as good luck and it's bad luck to kill one of them)

Dislikes: oppression, speaking Hungarian due to magrzation, bad remarks about her intelligence (she takes those seriously), loud/annoying people, being oppressed, called the "other half" of Czechoslovakia, hostel..., hostel 2,

Fears: Slovakia's two biggest fears are loneliness and betrayal. Loneliness because - as I mentioned - she loves company, but she has huge trust issues and thus trouble to open up to people she doesn't know well. Also she's not exactly the most important nation around so her neighbours tend to ignore/not notice her. When feeling lonely she usually turns to her own people, but it's not same as "her kind". And then there's betrayal... this is the reason she has trust issues, Slov was betrayed too many times until she developed paranoia and inability to open up to and trust others (she's social and friendly person but in the same time is very private and keeps her distance). She's fine if Poland or czech flings the selfs at her (like a hug) but most people she's generally uncomfortable with touching!!

EXTRAS:

Physical Attributes

Blood Type: AB? I don't know

Height: 164cm (5'2ft) being a smaller country I think this is an ideal height besides the average height being 5'5 which is taller than the Hungarian average height but I decided to make them the same height anyway. But she shouldn't be any shorter than 5' because it's a bigger country then Belgium, Luxembourg, taiwan, Slovenia, ect.

Weight: 120 pounds adding a few pounds for her figure.

Body: I would say similar to Hungary's but with much longer legs and a shorter waist, has a slightly (barely anything) larger bust because she has the largest point in the Carpathians, is very mountainous in the "Northern" regions, and is known for the Tatras and her other mountain ranges. but still she puts little to no attention is ever on them. Also she takes physical pain very well.

Hair: light brown. Slightly darker than Hungary's with a slight red tint

Eyes: bright turquoise

Mouth: ****should I just delete this one?****

Accent: slovak (duh), so she tends to stress the first syllable and express "r" more but not as strongly as czech does. Rrrrrrrr

Outfit (Military): ((look above)) a green military uniform (other than it being historically correct 40% of the country now is covered in forests so she'd probable wear a lot of green), with two breast pockets four buttons down until the dark brown/black belt with two pockets on each side of the belt, being shorter the boots go 5 centimeters below her knees and heals are 1.5 inch, she will also wear a helmet with a blue rim and the double cross on it.

Outfit (Casual): changes regularly like normal people, but mostly because slovakia's traditional clothes really changes for what district it is from. You can also tell from what district one might be from just be looking at it. But I gave her a eastern slovak outfit with a green skirt (for the same reason as above) with a white top which is from the dance the potter's suite: m.youtube.com/watch?v=0qXbnH1N… but this outfit was based off of this: zeleziar.sk/sluzby/data/images…

Outfit (Other[s]): her traditional dress could be from all over the country but she'd have to have a lot because each traditional outfit can designate where you live. Though her outfit would most likely be from Bratislava now and before the twentieth century (before a lot of the slovaks moved there) it would be from Kosice being the second largest city. And her business outfit would have a pencil skirt with a vest with a button up and loose bow.

Tattoos: none (currently Fufufufufufufufufufu//bricked)

Scars: every country has them, but she has a noticeable scar on the right side of her neck which counts as the bombing from wolrd war two in bratslava from the RAF and the American Air Force. Another scar and the largest is on her torso which represents the burned villages from the slovak national uprising that were never rebuilt.

Jewelry: most slovaks are catholic, so a rosemary with the double cross would make sense. Or a simple necklace with the double cross that's usually tucked into her shirt.

Anything on your body that represents something in your country?: lol everything.

Family and Foreign Relationships

Ancestor: westslava, great moravia, ect

Family: direct family Czech Republic (eldest brother), Poland (middle brother) westslava (mom) great moravia (?????)

Being a Slavic country she is cousins with Ukraine, Russia, Belarus, Serbia, Bulgaria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, FYR Macedonia, Montenegro, Croatia, Slovenia, Bosnia.

Friends: Czech Republic would be by far her current best friend but she tends to get along with everybody. Even with Hungary they are slightly friends but they'll never say it.

Rivals: Hungary, and sibling rivalry would be czech

Pets: maybe the Czechoslovakian wolf dog, the national dog of Slovakia. But probably no being that she wouldn't have enough Time in the day.

Potential Love Interest: nope, nope, nope, nope!

Foreign problems: slovakia the country tends to get along with every country, except Hungary (though they are slowly improving) and Lichtenstein. I'm not kidding and I don't want this to see mary-sue or anything but she has poor relations with Lichtenstein due to land claims. But they have been improving lately just like Hungary's.

BRIEF HISTORY:

5th Century Slavic tribes settle in present day Slovakia and are eventually united under the Slavic kingdom of Greater Moravia.

10th Century Magyar tribes invade present day Slovakia and form Greater Hungary under King Stephen. A thousand years of foreign domination begins.

1526 Hungarys defeat by the Ottoman Turks allows the Hapsburgs to seize Upper Hungary (Slovakia). Pozony (present day Bratislava) becomes the Hungarian capital as Buda falls to the Turks.

1867 The dual monarchy of Austria-Hungary is formally established after the Hapsburg emperor Franz Josef compromises with the constantly rebelling Hungarian nobles. Slovakia is incorporated into the Hungarian part of this kingdom.

1918 Dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, after defeat in WWI, sprouts numerous new states including Czechoslovakia. Although nominally a parliamentary democracy, Slovaks have a weak voice in the republics affairs.

1939 - The First Slovak Republic is in reality a Nazi puppet state run by fascist cleric Josef Tiso, who collaborates with German policies that include the deportation of Jews.

1945 As a member of the defeated Axis powers Slovakias fate is again determined by foreign powers. Czechoslovakia is re-established, without the province of Ruthenia, and an unstable democratic government dominated by Czech Communists teeters onward.

1948 The Soviet Union tightens control over Czechoslovakia under the guise of restoring political stability, and thereby reduces Eastern Europes last fledgling democracy to a satellite state.

1968 Alexander Dubcek, a Slovak and leader of Czechoslovakia, introduces a new governing philosophy dubbed socialism with a human face. Threatened by his reforms the Soviets invade, depose Dubcek, and install another Slovak, Gustav Husak, as the head of Czechoslovakia. Progressive reforms are no more.

1989 Following similar movements across Eastern Europe, mass protests and demonstrations bring down the Communist regime and the resignation of Husak. The Velvet Revolution brings democracy and formerly jailed dissident Vaclav Havel assumes the Czechoslovak presidency.

1992 After coming in second in the summer elections, Vladimir Meciar becomes Prime Minister of the Slovak part of the newly reworked Czech and Slovak Federal Republics. However, he soon starts a dialogue with Prague that will lead to the disbanding of the confederation.

1993 January - The first day of the year marks the birth of the Second Slovak Republic and Europes youngest state. The peaceful split of the former Czechoslovakia into the Czech and Slovak Republics is dubbed the Velvet Divorce while Meciar proclaims himself Father of Slovakia.

1993 March Meciar resigns as Prime Minister after receiving a vote of no confidence from parliament. A caretaker government lead by Josef Moravcik starts privatization and other economic reforms in earnest.

1994 Meciars new political party manages to win the elections and he resumes his position as Prime Minister. For the next four years Meciar is often criticized for his demagoguery, corruption and hostility toward the Hungarian minority. Labeled a black hole in Europe by the US, Slovakia becomes increasingly isolated from its neighbors and the West.

1998 March - A constitutional crisis materializes after the end of the Presidents term and the parliaments failure to agree on a successor.

1998 September - The defeat of Vladimir Meciar by a motley coalition in parliamentary elections brings hope of a more democratic era. Fears in the Western media that Meciar will hold on to power by force do not materialize. The new Prime Minister, Mikulas Dzurinda, embarks on clearing Slovakia of its pariah state status.

1999 Rudolf Schuster, a member of the coalition government, defeats Vladimir Meciar to become Slovakias second president after a constitutional amendment changes the presidency to an directly elected position.

2000- Slovakia is invited to join the OECD and is formally invited by the European Union to begin the lengthy accession process.
