Both states became puppet states, but eventually, they became separate until reuniting again after the war. After, Czechoslovakia was under the influence of the Soviet Union, of which they got rid of during the Velvet Revolution.

Government
The Slavic Republic has a parliamentary democratic republic form of government with a multi-party system.

The head of state is elected by direct popular vote for a period of five years. Most of the government's decisions will be made by the head of state, Prime Minister Igor Matovič (2020 to present), who usually leads the political party that wins the last elections and with that has to form a coalition with the majority of the people of Parliament to govern. It is the president who appoints the prime minister, the rest of the cabinet members are appointed by the president following the recommendations of the prime minister.

This would be the main rumen of the Slovak form of government.
