Slovakia is a landlocked  German Reich Reichskommissariat in Central Europe. It borders the  German Reich to the northwest,  Hungary to the south, and  Poland to the north and east.

Historical Background

The idea of Slovakia was firstly born during the First World War in  Austria-Hungary by Czechoslovakian separatists. Today, Czech and Slovak are considered two different (but similar) languages, despite their high level of mutual intelligibility. However, in the Interwar period, the official ideology of  Czechoslovakia embraced the idea of these two ethnic groups being in fact two branches of the same nation. Despite this, Slovaks view Czechs as a different ethnicity.

Interwar  Czechoslovakia had a sizeable German minority of around 3 million people living in a region bordering Germany, known as Sudetenland. After Munich agreement in late September 1938, these areas were awarded to Germany, and subsequently, parts of Slovakia were given to Poland and in particular, to Hungary. Weakened  Czechoslovakia was ultimately split in March 1939, with Czech lands being annexed to Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, and Slovakia forming  (First) Slovak Republic (also known as the Slovak State) under German overlordship.

National focus

Generic national focus tree.

 Slovakia, lacking a unique focus tree, uses the Generic national focus tree instead.

The generic focus tree has 5 main branches:

• Army Effort gives army experience and research bonuses to army research.
• Aviation Effort gives air experience, builds air bases, and research bonuses to air research.
• Naval Effort gives navy experience, builds naval dockyards, and research bonuses to navy research.
• Industrial Effort builds civilian and military factories (usually even if building slots are already full), infrastructure and grants extra research slots.
• Political Effort gives the country choices on which political path they will take.

Strategies and guides

The below is one of many player suggested strategies for Slovakia. Bear in mind, due to the dynamic nature of the game, it may unfold differently for other players.

If you want to free yourself from Germany before the start of the war, you'll have to start a civil war, and win it quickly, usually a week. You must win it quickly otherwise Germany will get called in. To start the civil war, hire a communist revolutionary, do Anti-Democratic Raids, Prepare for Civil war, then Ignite Civil War. (You can also do Democratic Reformer and Anti-Communist raids) You must hire the Army Maneuver Expert and push for the enemy capital, Presov, with both units (infantry and tank). If you manage to take their capital before Germany is called in, you will win the civil war, and you will be a free nation.
