Slovakia is a small European nation that can be released by Austria. It will initially only border Austria all the way around, which is a serious problem for future expansion.

Slovakia can form Czechoslovakia, if it grows strong enough. To do so one needs to be a great power, and have control over Austrian Bohemia-Moravia. Both of these are very hard to achieve.

It has good RGOs and a good sized population to start an industry, but a lackluster literacy by European standards.

Strategy

In order to form Czechoslovakia, one needs to be a great power, which is only possible if Slovakia controls more than one province. Although Slovakia is a decent-sized country it only controls 1 (namely; Slovakia) when it is first released.

The logical choice for another problem, is of course the other provinces needed to form Czechoslovakia, Bohemia and Moravia, both owned by Austria. Another alternative is to annex Krakow, Serbia or a province from Switzerland. One needs either another nation to do the fighting for Slovakia, and/or military access through Austria for all possible targets.
