Economy
Slovakia uses euro as its currency and it is $1.11 in the United States. I choose this background because most of Slovakia's major exports are made out of steel like cars and doors. The gdp per capita is 18,047. Compared to the United States Slovakia would be poor because 18,047 is way less than 53,042.
