The same is true of Slovakia. It was part of Czechoslovakia.

I use Soviet country to mean, a country which political structure is build on Soviets as opposed to a representative democracy.

I'm aware of Slovakia's origin, having visited Czechoslovakia. I'm not sure where I implied anything different.

Sorry for being pedantic.

(why the downvote, whoever? Was it belief I was lying about visiting Czechoslovakia? Believe it or not, the country did exist under that name during my lifetime. Was it suspicion of my being sarcastic in my apology? I was not.)
