I'm from there so I was just wondering how many ppl here would actually know, bc most people have never heard of it.
So I'm not really expecting many answers.

I know. It used to be part of Yugoslavia. It's just north of Croatia, south of Austria, east of Italy. The capital is Ljubljana - which used to be called Leibach. There is great skiing there. ELAN skis are from Slovenia. I went to Maribor a long time ago.

Take a little bit of Bavaria, a sliver of Mediterranean Riviera, a stretch of the Danube, a touch of Venice and a slice of the Balkans -- and you have Slovenia, one of Europe's best-kept secrets. This charming little country, which declared independence from Yugoslavia in 1991, walked away relatively unscathed from the turmoil that engulfed the rest of the region. It took along with it some of everything that travelers enjoy in this part of the world: mountains and lakes, castles and alpine forests, vineyards and meadows, beaches and island resorts. Lying at a natural hub of European routes at the eastern tip of the Alps, its lovely baroque capital, Ljubljana, is just a two-hour drive from Venice and a three-and-a-half-hour drive from Vienna. Although the country may not be as large as Austria, Italy or Greece, it is certainly less crowded and less expensive. With a culture that is both modern and traditional and with the country as part of the European Union, a trip to Slovenia is worth your while, especially since it's both easy and pleasurable to travel around the country.
Would this be correct? Happy Thanksgiving !

Its a small central european nation that gained independence in the 90's. Was it part of yugosalvia? I'm trying to do this from memory and not just google it.

An eastern european country. It's beside Italy and above Croatia. I sent a letter there last week, it cost me about a dollar, but it was a heavy letter.

My friend, Ben, owns a vineyard there but it remains to be seen whether he'll produce any wine. His mother's side of the family is from there. Difficult language if i ever heard one..
