Slovakiaball, officially the Slovak Republicball is a small, landlocked Slavic countryball in Central Europe (often dubbed as the heart of Europe). It is bordered by 
Czechiaball to the northwest, 
Austriaball to the southwest, 
Hungaryball to the south, 
Polandball to the north, and a small bit of 
Ukraineball to the east.
The countryball is divided into 8 regionballs, along with the capital File:Bratislava-icon.png Bratislavarawr, which is located in the File:Bratislava Region-icon.png Bratislava Regionball, giving it a total area of 18,933 square miles, making it the 127th largest countryball in the world. With a population of over 5.4 million people, it ranks 116th in the most populous countryballs in the world.
Since the collapse of 
Soviet Unionball and dissolution of Czechoslovak Socialist Republicball, Slovakiaball, like many other former socialist countryballs, has joined the 
EUball and 
NATOball, to gain protection from 
Russiaball. It also maintains membership in the File:Visegrád Group-icon.png Visegrád Groupball because of being geographically in central Europe.
His national day is January 1.
