Is Slovakia the most underrated european country?

Slovak men are super hot. It’s one of my destinations for sex tourism

Polish men crave Czech women, walking with their noses in the air to their avances. Polish women are more succesful in Slovakia with their men.

Linguistically Slovak is very easy to understand to a Croat and they are considered "central Slavic" language thus can well connect to both east, south and other west Slavs. Genetically Slovaks are among most Slavic ethnic groups overall, and that is rarely recognized or mentioned.

We have small Slovak minority in Croatia and they assimilated to Croats due to closeness of culture and faith. Slovakia even had president with Croatian origin. Some of us fled there during Turkish incursions and equally well assimilated. Ethnic Slovak Juraj Haulik played crucial role in Croatian history, becoming first Archbishop of Zagreb and completing separation of Croatian catholic church from Hungarian domination, and later being a cardinal and ban of Croatia two times.

The Slovak and Croatian people are strangely similar in their centuries-old hard struggle and in their painstaking past. In the NDH, there was a strong effort to establish closer ties with Slovakia because of similarity and cultural connection. Furthermore, the First Slovak Republic was the second to recognize the Independent State of Croatia. Both nations have survived thanks to the fact that Catholicism has preserved the foundations of their national identity.

Much has been said and written about the similarity and closeness of the destinies of the Croatian and Slovak people, and this view has been popularized in broad sections of both nations. Josip Andrić wrote about Croat-Slovak political similarity.

Hlinka's struggle for a free Slovakia is similar to Croatian national aspirations... Hlinka at first only wanted autonomy in order to achieve freedom. After the first step, they didn't give up and achieved full independence. All of this reminds me of the Croatian national aspiration, which at first wanted autonomy which was achieved by the Croatian-Hungarian settlement in 1868 (Austria-Hungary) and later in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia by establishing Banovina of Croatia until Croatia became completely independent in a free Europe.

So, we share a similar destiny with Slovaks.

Slovakia is a nice country thats true.
Bratislava is pretty clean and people would look at you very bad if youve threw something on the ground.
Its one of few capitals where you feel sometimes like its not capital, its not crowded besides the old town which is pretty smal.
Tatras are one of most known skiing destination, with a decent infrastructure, I broke my hand there on snowboard and since then I never went again
One of the downsides people from Bratislava especially those with age of 30+ are standoffish, look depressed and may look very arrogant. Those from eastern Slovakia are much more friendlier. The worst trait of Slovak people is envy, besides that they are pretty chill and dont give a fuck about anything but at the same time they have opinion on everything.

I'm a Moravian Slovak and 1/4 actual Slovak and sometimes I forget it exists too.

Slovenia is the only bigger underdog in Europe.

Slovaks are the only Western Slavs I like en masse and feel +- compatible and comfortable, nothing personal/political, but mentality. They have good things from Ukrainians without being Ukrainians and having no their flaws. Slovaks are simple in a good meaning of this word, lots of them. Met some in my life. I think they're only of Western Slavs who have this old sentiment, sympathetic towards Russia (but again, it's not a reason, but a bonus).

I think Croatia is more similar to Czechia. Both had own independent kingdom before the foreign occupation, they had own nobility, both country were very westernized for example renaissance or german influence. Slovakia is more similar to Slovenia, new countries with relatively new ethnic identity.

If you meet Czechs who aren't addicted to sucking Western cock, most of them like Russia. Unfortunately most of the ones on social media do the we wuz Germans n shiet routine and hate everything Eastern, despite everyone associating us with Eastern Europe and Russia (for logical reasons). Not me though I'm built different. If you ever go to our country you are most likely going to find pro-Russia people in rural and Moravian areas.

I do agree that more Slovaks have the "old sentiment" in regards to many things not just Russia, it's why I like to be around them.
