Slovakia is a landlocked country situated in the heart of Europe, bordered by Austria to the west, Ukraine to the east, Poland to the north, and Hungary to the south. The country has a rich and complex history, having been part of various empires and kingdoms throughout the centuries. Slovakia gained independence in 1993 with the peaceful split of Czechoslovakia.
