Slovakia together with Slovenia are the only former Communist nations to be part of the European Union, Eurozone, Schengen Area and NATO simultaneously.

The words Spišská [pronounced spish-skhaa] or Spišské that precede the names of some towns in Slovakia just refer to the region they are in. The region is called Spiš. The endings are different to reflect the gender of the town name (or somethimes singular/plural).
