Yeah, that's actually it :-) I was born only a year after Slovakia gained its independence from the former Czechoslovak republic, so me and my generation are something like the first de facto Slovaks. A big majority of our current population was born (and raised) as a Czechoslovaks, so our relations with Czech Republic (or Czechia, just choose whatever name you want) still remains close. That's still very important (especially for me) since the AoT manga wasn't to this date even translated to Slovak language, so I'm currently using the very good Czech version.
