Slovac you speak in Slovakia and Slovenian or Slovene you speak in Slovenia. To add more, the languages are both Slavic, so they have some basic simmilatities, but are also very different. They are not in any way simmilar languages.

The Dissolution of Czechoslovakia, sometimes known as the Velvet Divorce, took effect on 1 January 1993. The event saw the self-determined, peaceful split of the federal state of Czechoslovakia into the Czech Republic and Slovakia. On November 13, the Federal Assembly passed Constitution Act 541 which settled the division of property between the Czech lands and Slovakia. With Constitution Act 542, passed on 25 November, they agreed to the dissolution of Czechoslovakia as of 31 December 1992. The split was spurred by both political and financial reasons.

The name for the nation, Slovenes, was mentioned by a protestant priest and author Primoz Trubar in 1550s, describing the nation that lived in several different lands of the Austrian Empire. The origin of this name is not exactly known to me, but two possible origins spring to mind. The word is deffinetly linked to the word Slavs (Or Slovani in Slovene language), which represent a group of nations. One possibility is that the nation was named thus because it was the Westernmost nation of the southern Slavic nations, and the neighbours just called them "Slavs".

The other possible explanation is that the word "Slovo" in ancient Slavic meant "Word". The word Slav, and possibly Slovenian come out of this. People used this name for those people who could speak their "Word", their language. It is interesting that Slovenes as many other Slavic use a word "Nemci" for German people, the word in fact means "The mute ones", which indicates that they did not speak the same language. It must be stressed that the word "Nemci" is in no way insulting, it is the official word for Gemans still.

The name Slovenia for the land where Slovenes live is derived from the name of the nation and it came much later. Slovenes in Austria lived in several different lands, Carniola, Styria, Istria, Gorizia and Carinthia. In 19th century, when awarenes of nationhood arised, authors started to use the word Slovenija to describe the entire territory where Slovenes live, thus uniting the nation under one banner. Officialy the word was first used in print by a Slovene poet Jovan Vesel Koseski.

You need a passport. You might need a visa, depending on what country issued you the passport. Most Europeans or North Americans need no visa for short term visits for tourist purposes. Working permits/working visas are another story. You must check with a Slovakian Consulate about that.

It is not on any sea. Slovakia is landlocked.

Since Slovakia is a member of the European Union it has good political relations with numerous countries of the Union, including Germany, France and the UK. On the other hand it, similiarly to their Czech neighbours, Slovakia has open relations with Russian Federation as well, despite EU sanctions against Russia. Slovakian membership in NATO and its strategic geographical position also mean that it maintains good relations with the USA as well, despite the fact that large amounts of the population consider themseleves eurosceptic and pro-Russian.

Slovakia has a especially good relations with 3 of its 5 neighbours - Poland, Czech Republic and Hungary, despite certain disagreements with Hungary (especially from members of radical right) .
