Settled in four distinct areas (Styria, Carniola, Carinthia and Gorizia) since the fifth century, Slovenia was later variously dominated by the Bavarians, the Frankish Empire of the Carolingians, and the largely Germanic Holy Roman Empire, which lasted in one form or another from the ninth to the 19th century.
Slovenia is the only one of the ex-Yugoslav republics to have a substantial, as opposed to a merely nominal, multi-party democracy, although it is on the road to permanent coalition politics with three parties (the customary European mix of center-right, center-left and liberal) as the main contestants.
Slovenia’s only major outstanding problem in its foreign relations is a long-standing border dispute with Croatia, an aspirant to EU and NATO membership (which Slovenia has tried to veto), which has so far defied solution.

The first part is an agreement between the Duke of Styria, Ottokar IV from the dynasty of the Otakars and the Duke of Austria, Leopold V from the Babenberg dynasty.
The childless and deadly sick Ottokar (he had contracted leprosy on a crusade) was to give his duchy to Leopold and to his son Frederick under the stipulation that Austria and Styria would henceforth remain undivided.
The territory of Styria back then went far beyond the modern state and included lands not only in modern Slovenia (see Styria, Slovenia), but also in Upper Austria, more precisely the Traungau (the area around Wels and Steyr).
