Slovak Republic gained independence in 1993, after the [[Velvet Divorce]], in which [[Czechoslovakia]] split into the [[Czech Republic]] and Slovakia. Its capital and the largest city is [[Bratislava]], the second-largest city is [[Košice]]. The official language is Slovak. It has been a member state of the [[European Union]] and the [[North Atlantic Treaty Organization]] since 2004. By 2018, Slovakia's economy was performing very well, with low taxes and high productivity.<ref>Williams, Thomas D. (June 21, 2018).

==Demographics==
 +
The most reliable demographic data are provided by the official [[census]] as well as by other data collected through various government agencies by the Statistical Office of the Slovak Republic. The first modern census in Slovakia (then part of [[Austria-Hungary]]) took place in 1869, while history of feudal census in Slovakia reaches back to 1784. Following censuses in Slovakia as a part of Austria-Hungary were carried out in 1880, 1890, 1900, and 1910, and in Slovakia as a part of Czechoslovakia in 1921, 1930, 1946, 1950, 1961, 1970, 1980, and 1991. Census of May 26, 2001, for the first time used self-enumberation method, i.e. data were entered by the residents themselves.<ref>''[https://slovak.statistics.sk/wps/portal/ext/themes/demography/census/about/ Sčítanie obyvateľov, domov a bytov]'' [Census] [online]. Bratislava : Statistical Office of the Slovak Republic, 2017-05-30 (retrieved 2019-08-18) (in Slovak)</ref>

 +
It is worth noting that present-day census records all people permanently residing in Slovakia, nine tenths of whom hold Slovak citizenship. Hereinafter the permanent residents of Slovakia shall be reffered to simply as Slovaks with the exception of subchapter on ethnicity.
