Prior to 1993, the Slovak Republic was a part of the now defunct state of Czechoslovakia.On 19 January 1993, after the Slovak Republic had become a separate state, the National Council of the Slovak Republic enacted a nationality law to establish "the conditions of gain and loss of citizenship" in the newly formed republic.
The official state language is Slovak, and Hungarian is widely spoken in the southern regions. Despite its modern European economy and society, Slovakia has a significant rural element. About 45% of Slovaks live in villages with fewer than 5,000 inhabitants, and 14% in villages with fewer than 1,000.
