Great job!
Even Giu would be proud on you.
I really like your level of research about out tiny little pocket country.
If I sit in my car I can drive to any of the regions you mentioned in less than 2 hours (I live in 7). Actually I am out of the country in 2 hours whether I turn N, S, E or W. Total population is 2 mil. people.
For our kids Texas is easy (except that we do not have letter X in our alphabet), but New York is very difficult. Indeed.
But you did miss the point about our history.
Yes, we only have independent sate from 1991 (More or less independent as being part of EU is almost as bad as being part of Yugoslavia).
But we had a Bible translated into Slovene language before anyone in US could read or write (this is a low one as it was in Columbus times).
And boating related: Did you know that a boat propeller was invented in Slovenia? The guy (Ressel) was born elsewhere, but he worked in Slovenia and is buried in Ljubljana (where I am from).
And yes, your boat is bigger. But you only because no-one wants to buy her.
I would but don't have the $$$ - better a French boat than no boat.
