Around 12% of the inhabitants of Slovenia were born abroad. According to data from 2008, there were around 100,000 non-EU citizens living in Slovenia, or around 5% of the overall population of the country. The highest number came from Bosnia-Herzegovina, followed by immigrants from Serbia, Macedonia, Croatia and Kosovo as you can see in Slovenia map. The number of people migrating to Slovenia has been steadily rising from 1995; and has been increasing rapidly in recent years. Since Slovenia joined the EU in 2004, the yearly inflow of immigrants has doubled by 2006 and tripled by 2009. In 2007, Slovenia was one of the countries with the fastest growth of net migration rate in the European Union.

The official language and the general language of instruction is Slovenian. According to the last population census, it is the native language of 88% of the Slovenia population; 92% of the population use Slovenian language at home (Population census 2002) as its shown in Slovenia map. In ethnically mixed areas, Italian and Hungarian, respectively, are also recognized as official lanuages. Accordingly, members of the Italian and Hungarian national communities in ethnically mixed areas have the right to education in their respective language. In addition, Romani language is protected by law, but it is not a language of instruction in formal education. Over the past decades there have been public discussions about the collective rights of the minorities that are not specified in the Constitution, with Human Rights Ombudsman repeatedly calling for concrete measures to address this area.

The location at the junction of the Mediterranean, the Alps, the Dinarides and the Pannonian Plain and the area being traversed by major rivers have been the reasons for the intersection of the main transport routes in Slovenia. Their course was established already in the Antiquity. A particular geographic advantage in recent times has been the location of the intersection of the Pan-European transport corridors V (the fastest link between the North Adriatic, and Central and Eastern Europe) and X (linking Central Europe with the Balkans) in the country as its mentioned in Slovenia map. This gives it a special position in the European social, economic and cultural integration and restructuring.

With 101 inhabitants per square kilometre (262/sq mi), Slovenia ranks low among the European countries in population density (compared to 402/km² (1042/sq mi) for the Netherlands or 195/km² (505/sq mi) for Italy) as you can see in Slovenia on map. The Notranjska-Kras statistical region has the lowest population density while the Central Slovenian statistical region has the highest. According to the 2002 census, Slovenia main ethnic group are the Slovenes (83%). At least 13% of the population were immigrants from other parts of Former Yugoslavia and their descendants. They have settled mainly in cities and suburbanised areas. Relatively small but protected by the Constitution of Slovenia are the Hungarian and the Italian national community. A special position is held by the autochthonous and geographically dispersed Roma ethnic community.

With 20,273 km² and slightly over two million inhabitants Slovenia is a small country at the intersection of four major European geographic regions as its shown in Slovenia on map: the Alps, the Dinarides, the Pannonia Plain, and the Mediterranean. The age structure of the population has been changing due to the low and, in some periods declining, birthrate, longer life expectancy and lower mortality. These factors have led to an aging population. Based on Statistical Office and the Employment Service of Slovenia data registered unemployment rate stood at 8.2% in January 2020. That is a decrease from 10.6% in January 2010 but there had been notable fluctuation over the ten-year period. For example, in January 2015 unemployment rate was 13.5%. The share of inhabitants with Slovenian citizenship slightly decreased in the last decade, from just under 96% in 2011 to 92.1% in December 2020.

The Slovenian Armed Forces provide military defence independently or within an alliance, in accordance with international agreements. Since conscription was abolished in 2003, it is organized as a fully professional standing army as its mentioned in Slovenia on map. The Commander-in-Chief is the President of the Republic of Slovenia, while operational command is in the domain of the Chief of the General Staff of the Slovenian Armed Forces. In 2008, military spending was an estimated 1.5% of the country GDP. Since joining NATO, the Slovenian Armed Forces have taken an even more active part in supporting international peace. Their activities comprise the participation of Slovenian Armed Forces members in peace support operations and humanitarian activities. Among others, Slovenian soldiers are a part of international forces serving in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, and Afghanistan.

Officially, Slovenia is subdivided into 211 municipalities (eleven of which have the status of urban municipalities). The municipalities are the only body of local autonomy in Slovenia. Besides, there also exist 62 administrative districts, officially called "Administrative Units" (upravne enote), which are not a body of local self-government, but territorial sub-units of government administration as you can see in the Detailed map of Slovenia. The Administrative Units are named after their capital, and are headed by a Head of the Unit (načelnik upravne enote), appointed by the Minister of Public Administration. Each municipality is headed by a Mayor (župan), elected every 4 years by popular vote, and a Municipal Council (občinski svet). In the majority of the municipalities, the municipal council is elected through the system of proportional representation; only few smaller municipalities use the plurality voting system. In the urban municipalities, the municipal councils are called Town (or City) Councils. Every municipality also has a Head of the Municipal Administration (načelnik občinske uprave), appointed by the Mayor, who is responsible for the functioning of the local administration.

Since Slovenia declared independence in 1991, its Governments have underscored their commitment in improving cooperation with neighbouring countries and to actively contribute to international efforts aimed at bringing stability to Southeast Europe as its shown in the Detailed map of Slovenia. Resource limitations have nevertheless been a problem hindering the efficiency of the Slovenian diplomacy. In the 1990s, foreign relations, especially with Italy, Austria and Croatia, triggered internal political controversies. In the last eight years, however, a wide consensus has been reached among the vast majority of Slovenian political parties to jointly work in the improvement of the country diplomatic infrastructure and to avoid politicizing the foreign relations by turning them into an issue of internal political debates.

Slovenia has a developed economy and is per capita the richest of Slavic states. Almost two thirds of people are employed in services, and over one third in industry and construction. Slovenia benefits from a well-educated workforce, well-developed infrastructure, and its position at the crossroad of major trade routes as its mentioned in the Detailed map of Slovenia. On the other hand, the level of foreign direct investment (FDI) in Slovenia is one of the lowest in the EU per capita, and the labour productivity and the competitiveness of the Slovenian economy is still significantly below the EU average. Taxes are relatively high, the labor market is seen by business interests as being inflexible, and industries are losing sales to China, India, and elsewhere.

With Ljubljana at its heart, Slovenia is a country that has much more to offer than first meets the eye. For people who take the time to explore outside of the city and to head towards the north of the country, they will be rewarded with panoramic views, picturesque lakes and truly authentic experiences. The country is not one that is littered with large cities; instead, towns and villages are spread sparingly across the land as you can see in the Map of Northern Slovenia. This means that with some careful planning and preparation, you can truly escape from modern life as you venture into the beauty of Northern Slovenia.

Accommodation in the north of Slovenia is very traditional, as to be expected. During the summer, there are lots of opportunities for glamping; however, this can be an expensive option as its shown in the Map of Northern Slovenia. Using websites such as Airbnb can allow for some more unique accommodation and can also unlock some slightly cheaper accommodations. Away from Ljubljana, prices tend to fall anyway, but, your options will also become more limited. The northernmost region in Slovenia is also arguably its most cherished and adored, with alpine mountains covering the vast majority of it, providing the sort of scenery one comes to expect from such a magnificent range.

The Northern area of Slovenia is a fantastic region to explore, with so much to do and ample opportunities to get away from the hustle and bustle of normal life and relax. Whether you want to relax in a sauna or be pampered with a massage, there are a number of spas in Northern Slovenia that are set within beautiful surroundings as its mentioned in the Map of Northern Slovenia. In the north-east, there is Terme Topolsica and La Vita Spa & Beauty, and in the North East, there is Wellness Essense. At these locations, you will have the option to pamper yourself and relax with a range of services.

Known for is rolling hills, dense forests and picturesque lakes, Southern Slovenia is a region that lends itself to hiking and biking. The Ljubljana Marsh (Slovene: Ljubljansko barje), located south of Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia, is the largest marsh in the country. It covers 163 square kilometres (63 sq mi) or 0.8% of the Slovene territory as you can see in the Map of Southern Slovenia. It is administered by the municipalities of Borovnica, Brezovica, Ljubljana, Ig, Log-Dragomer, Škofljica and Vrhnika. Located south east of the town of Cerknica in beautiful hilly countryside dotted with sleepy villages and churches is Lake Cerknica - one of Slovenia strangest but also most beautiful natural phenomena. Thanks to the limestone karst landscape of the region the lake fills in Spring, Autumn and times of heavy rainfal and typically empties in Summer and Winter although sometimes the emptying and filling of the lake follows a different pattern and can be quite unpredictable.

Not to be missed while you are in Ljubljana is a visit to either the Postojna or Škocjan caves – both spectacular, and both easily manageable either as a day-trip from the capital or en route south to Slovene Istria, to Croatia or to Italy as its shown in the Map of Southern Slovenia. A trip easily combined with the caves is to Predjama Castle, near Postojna, a sombre fortress craftily embedded into the karst landscape. On the small stretch of Adriatic coastline are a number of charismatic towns, heavily influenced by a legacy of Venetian rule. Of these, Piran is by far the most rewarding, its fishing-village charm and gorgeous architecture contrasting starkly with the brash modernity of neighbouring Portorož.

Piran, at the tip of the peninsula, 4km from Portorož, could not be more different. Its web of arched alleys, tightly packed ranks of historic houses and little Italianate squares is delightful. The centre, 200m around the harbour from the bus station, is Tartinijev trg, named after the eighteenth-century Italian violinist and composer Giuseppe Tartini, who was born in a cream villa on the square and is commemorated by a weather-beaten bronze statue in the centre. Easily reached by bus from the train terminus in Koper, Portorož (“Port of Roses”) sprawls at the beginning of a long, tapering peninsula that projects like a lizard tail north into the Adriatic as its mentioned in the Map of Southern Slovenia. Popular since the end of the nineteenth century for its mild climate and the health-inducing properties of its salty mud baths, today the resort big draw is high-rise hotels, glitzy casinos and buzzing nightlife.
