Personality: A nation personification who never really got to be glorious, unfortunately. It suffered both Germanic and Italian influence.

But despite being under control most of the time, he always had time for relaxation, music and fun. Even the name of his anthem tells about that.

He is sweet, a bit shy, introverted and very well-mannered. He dislikes it very much when someone's being a pig around him. But the fact is he likes to drink, especially with Serbia. Despite his fine behavior though, he likes money a lot, and does tend to do business deals with whomever as long as it has cash written on it. He also makes a good "Sweet guy" type of lover, thanks to his language.

His hobbies include mountain hiking, skiing, playing the acoustic guitar and being a great tourist guide.

He's rather grumpy toward Italy and Croatia. He gets so annoyed with Croatia that he sometimes throws things at him, even when Croatia is simply walking near his backyard. He also took every chance to chase Italy during the World Wars. He has very good relations with Austria, Germany, Bosnia and many countries from all the continents, though not so much with Croatia. He hates that his birthday is on the same day as Croatia's and doesn’t like to celebrate it together. Nowadays, thanks to Germany, they have made amends and now get along very well.

Biography: He started out as Carantania, a spiffy little tike. However, he soon fell under the rule of Bavaria. From then on, things went downhill for the little fellow. He was kept under the occupation of other nations and constantly made to do chores – especially at Austria’s house, where he resided the longest

Despite being one of Austria’s top students, he wasn’t truly happy. He wanted to unite with his brothers – the other South Slavs – and stop being a lackey to Austria and Italy.

So he set off to find like-minded people. Coincidentally, he met Serbia in Austria’s house during a visit to Vojvodina (which was also under Austrian rule at the time). Serbia was also very keen on Pan-Slavism, and Croatia joined them soon after. Before long, they began planning to live together as roommates in one house.

After World War I, the State of Slovenes, Croats, and Serbs was created. It was soon merged into the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes, which was later renamed the Kingdom of Yugoslavia – the kingdom of the South Slavs.

Slovenia felt happy, reunited with his fellow Slavs and finally living his dream. But soon, he started feeling different and somewhat distant. Much of the money he earned was controlled by their central authority, often benefiting Serbia the most, even though Slovenia was among the most economically developed regions. He was often overlooked, and once again, he felt assimilated.

During World War II, he faced serious trouble with Germany and Italy, especially Italy. His lands were divided and occupied, and there was a real threat of forced assimilation. After a great deal of hardship, he remained with the others, and more Slavs joined the house: Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Montenegro.

His discomfort grew after the formation of socialist Yugoslavia. He and Croatia were more economically developed and industrialized, closer in some ways to Austria, while other regions were less developed. Slovenia grew increasingly frustrated with the federal system, especially the redistribution of wealth.

He particularly disliked the fact that much of his economic output was funneled through federal institutions and redistributed to other republics. This contributed to his strong focus on economy and trade – something he had always been good at.

Modern era: When Yugoslavia began to fall apart, Slovenia was the first to leave, declaring independence in 1991. After that, his relationship with Croatia became strained due to territorial disputes.

At first, things seemed difficult for Slovenia. The transition period was challenging, though he still had industry and trade to rely on. However, through hard work, he stabilized and went on to join NATO and the European Union.

Today, he is one of the most successful of the newer EU members and a capable businessman. As for his neighbours, he maintains relations with Serbia, sometimes looks down on Bosnia and Herzegovina, and has had a complicated relationship with Croatia, including disputes during Croatia’s EU accession process.
