Actually, it was 10% of the population and 30% of GNP.
And please don't use the term ex communist country :), if you know the situation of yugoslavia - which was one of the nonaligned movement countries, you'd know we had socialism with almost none of the communist persecution traits. (Tbh, I loved the cross europe school trips :).

Slovenia is nice :) of course taxes are high (but the current government is working on it), but you actually get something out of it.

(and don't worry about the 2,4% muslim... they can't even decide who to follow ^_^)

(I'd especially recommend the things you'll probably not see in the US category + slovenia/slovakia mixup)

Well at least I got the ratio right. I still think it was an ex communist country. Though not in the soviet style at least in it's political model. BTW my father was Slovenian and my cousins are still there in Nova groica, bovec and lubljana. Though I don't keep in touch with them as much as I should.

You should put up the slovenian flag in yopur profile and join the rest of the gang from your country http://www.freerepublic.com/perl/profiles?location=114 Maybe you can get the thing going and encourage other slovenians to join.

BTW welcome to Free Republic.

Slovenia is a very interesting country. Its a country that will contribute to the EU. I would like to visit in the future. Have you been to Ski flying world cup before?
