I admire Slovenia. They have created an incredibly safe country with high standards of living, good quality of education DESPITE muh communismus, being dominated and getting land-grabbed by neighbouring countries and being a tiny Slavic nation. The Slovene economy is stronger than Spain, Portugal and Italy, the country is safer than Western Europe despite being in brief state of war only 30 years ago, and everyone knows Gorenje home equipment, madlad Zizek, Planica and winter sports and based Laibach.
What are your thoughts on this marvel of a country? I think only Estonians challenge them in terms of building a country despite constant oppression and destruction by imperialistic countries
>good quality of education DESPITE muh communismus That's not despite, that's because of communism. Commies are known for good education, just not in bs tiers like gender studies but in actual sciences, literature, philosophy and engineering.

Also, average wage in Slovenia is 1200€/month which is not great, definately behind Western Europe in that regard. Also our railways are 3rd world tier. But overall, standard of living is still high, just not as high as in northwestern Europe or Australia for example,

To the west of Prekmurje the landscape is varied, with many mountains and forests. Maribor is not a big attraction. The center of Ljubljana is beautiful but it is surrounded by many commieblocks with graffities. The beach is beautiful except for Koper but small shores. The most beautiful part is the northern / western part of the country, with a clean mountain environment, villages, towns. I would live in Bled or Kranj.

we have bilingual areas at the border with italy, and we have mandatory italian classes in school for 12 years

whats the point of having non international trains in such a small country?

I'm not going to contradict the claim that communist education in science, math, engineering is good, because I wouldn't know about it. But anything in the humanities (philosophy, history, literature, etc) it's complete garbage. The reason being that communist education in these fields only teaches marxist theory - if they present other perspectives, at best they are absurd caricatures of those perspectives. But on the other hand, non-communist education does include marxist theories, alongside other frameworks of interpretation. And marxist theories are given at least a fair representation, in some institutions even perhaps too much of a positive bias for them.

Slovenians are lovely people, there are lots of them working here in Trieste, they are my favourite minority, meanwhile Serbs...
I must confess. We had an exchange student from Slovenia in my class (he was Italian citizen) in highschool and people always thought of Slovenia to be like a generic eastern bloc country like in Eurotrip.
