Slovenia, officially the Republic of Slovenia, is a country in Central Europe, bordered by Italy to the west, Austria to the north, Hungary to the northeast, Croatia to the southeast, and the Adriatic Sea to the southwest.

The territory of modern Slovenia has been part of many different states throughout history, including the Roman Empire, Byzantine Empire, Carolingian Empire, and the Holy Roman Empire. In 1991, Slovenia gained its independence from Yugoslavia and became a sovereign state. The country joined both NATO and the European Union in 2004, adopted the euro in 2007, and became a member of the OECD in 2010.

Slovenia covers an area of 20,271 square kilometers (7,827 sq mi) and has a population of approximately 2.1 million people. The capital and largest city is Ljubljana, with about 300,000 inhabitants in its metropolitan area. The official language is Slovene, while Hungarian and Italian are co-official languages in their respective ethnic areas.

The country is known for its diverse landscape, which includes the Alps, the Mediterranean coastline, karst plateaus, and the Pannonian Plain. More than half of Slovenia's territory is covered by forests, making it one of the most forested countries in Europe. The highest peak is Mount Triglav, reaching 2,864 meters above sea level.

Slovenia's economy is highly developed, with a GDP per capita of around $55,000. The country has a strong industrial sector, particularly in automotive parts, pharmaceuticals, and electronics. Tourism is also a significant contributor to the economy, with popular destinations including Lake Bled, Postojna Cave, and the coastal town of Piran.

The country has a rich cultural heritage influenced by its location at the crossroads of Germanic, Latin, and Slavic cultures. Slovenia is known for its high standard of living, excellent education system, and strong environmental consciousness. It consistently ranks among the top countries in various quality of life indices and is considered one of the safest countries in the world.
