'''Slovakia'''<ref>In Slovak: ''Slovensko''</ref>, officially the '''Slovak Republic'''<ref>in Slovak: Slovak: ''Slovenská republika'', abbreviation: ''SR''</ref> is a landlocked country in [[Central Europe]], bordered by [[Poland]] to the north, [[Ukraine]] to the east, [[Hungary]] to the south, [[Austria]] to the west, and the [[Czech Republic|Czechia]] to the northwest. Slovakia is a name of an independent state established in 1993 as well as a name of the territory historically occupied by Slovaks, which is slightly smaller than the territory of present-day Slovakia.

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).
