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 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. Slovakia and Czech Republic split and was independent in 1993 correct? Also you must seem to be very fluent to the Czech language right?  However that was very interesting backstory to hear from you. I always heard Czechs and Slovaks got along very well until due to politics and ethnical reasons, they decided to split.
