The Slavs were known as the three barbarians of Europe along with the Germans and Celts during the Roman Empire, and are also one of the representative peoples of today's Europeans.
Compared with the European race, the Slavs have always been considered to be economically unfit.
Per capita GDP in the Czech Republic was $22,973 in 2018, Slovakia at $19,547, Russia at $11,289, Montenegro at $8,761, Serbia at $7,234 and Croatia at $14,869.
Almost all of the ten poorest countries in Europe are in Eastern Europe.

But Slovenia is an exception, slovenia's per capita GDP in 2018 was $26,234, 2.3 times that of Slavic boss Russia and 1.76 times that of neighbor Croatia.
Why did Slovenia become the richest country the Slavs had founded?
First, the population is small and the country is small.
Slovenia is located in southern Central Europe, bordering the Alps, Italy to the west, the Adriatic Sea to the southwest, Croatia to the east and south, Hungary to the northeast and Austria to the north.

The country covers an area of 20,273 square kilometers and has a population of about 2.05 million people.
After the collapse of Yugoslavia in 1991, Slovenia was also in chaos for a while, but with the completion of the privatization process, the country's transition period ended and the economic environment improved.
At present, Slovenia is a highly developed country with a good industrial and scientific and technological foundation.
Slovenia has joined NATO and the European Union.

Second, the location is better.
Slovenia is at the junction of four major geographical regions in Europe: the Alps, the Dinara Mountains, the middle Danube Plain and the Mediterranean coast. Many international railways, roads and air lines cross the border, and electrified railways and modern roads account for a considerable proportion.
If you want to be rich, first build roads, Slovenia is in a transportation hub location, and it is difficult not to be rich.
Third, there is no tossing, there is a peaceful and stable environment.
On 23 March 2010, Slovenia and Croatia peacefully settled the border dispute.

There are many small countries in Europe, and it is impossible to become a great power, but the opportunity to become a rich country is abundant, as long as there is a pillar industry, life is not bad.
