	Slovakia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 2004 Slovakia had a fertility rate of 1.25 (i.e., the average woman will have 1.25 children in her lifetime), which is one of the lowest numbers among EU countries.
		Slovakia is a member state of the European Union since May 1, 2004 and of NATO since March 29, 2004.
		Slovakia is among the most attractive countries in the EU for foreign investors mainly because of its low labour costs (a 2005 survey by the prominent consultant firm Deloitte shows that Slovakia has the lowest labour costs in the European Union) and low tax rates.

	Slovakia - MSN Encarta
		Slovakia became the center of Hungarian culture and politics, with Bratislava (then called Pozsony) serving as the Habsburg capital.
		Havel was chosen as president of Czechoslovakia, and Marian Čalfa, a Slovak, became vice president.
		Because Slovakia had industrialized during the Communist period, it inherited an inefficient, defense-oriented industrial base; the transition to a market economy thus resulted in greater unemployment and economic hardship in Slovakia than it did in the more economically advantaged Czech lands.

		Slovakia slipped into constitutional hiatus on March 2, 1998 when the last president, Michal Kovac, finished his term of office and parliament, under authoritarian premier Vladimir Meciar, was too divided to agree on a successor.

		Slovakia became independent when Czechoslovakia split apart in a peaceful divorce in 1993 but in the years that followed Meciar's government was accused by the domestic opposition and the European Union of backsliding on democratic reforms.
