Due to the many similarities in name, flag and language, Slovenia and Slovakia are still regularly confused in the world. Did you know that Slovenian and Slovak share 1100 words? Lately, because of Melania Trump, the "all-knowing" Americans have also become more attentive to Slovenia, who, in order to avoid changing countries, have prepared a contribution in which they present the history of the two countries that incidentally gained independence in the same period, thereby providing additional confusion, and explain where the reason for similar names comes from. You probably didn't know that either, or that to smoke in Slovak means to poop or to go to great need.
You know why they have Slovenia and Slovakia so similar names? Did you know that the Slovenian and Slovak representatives of the embassies have to meet once a month just to exchange wrongly addressed mail. We Slovenians have been mistaken for Slovaks (and vice versa) in the world countless times, especially athletes, with whom she often stood out Slovak flag.

Many people think it is the name is Slovenia of more recent origin, but in reality it dates back to the least in the 6th century AD or even further back.
