Ah, yes. But Slovenia was front page news when it broke away from the former Yugoslavia. Long before that, it included the great port city of Trieste (ceded to Italy in the Treaty of Versailles), where the bulk of the Imperial Austrian Navy was constructed and headquartered. It was where some of the most vicious fighting took place on the Southern Front in World War I, and later it again was part of the "Iron Curtain" separating East from West during the Cold War. The real question is, can you find something truly obscure, like say, Liechtenstein?
