A. THE COUNTRY

The Slovak Republic is a landlocked country in central Europe.
This parliamentary republic is characterized by a wide spectrum of
parties.  Reform of state administrative sectors lags far behind
economic reforms, creating significant infrastructure problems.  It
is one of the strongest-growing economies in the EU, being boosted
by increasing privatization and foreign investment.  Unemployment is
a problem, especially among the older generation.  Slovakia is a
nation in the midst of significant change.

B. THE PEOPLE

The population is ~5,412,000 and the official language Slovak.
~79.7% are Slavic, ~20.3% Other (Hungarian, Romani).
Increasing wealth (for some) is accompanied by the new influences of
materialism and moral relativism.  Depression and suicide rates are
among the highest in Europe.
