Middle European country hamstrung by geographic location between the EU and Russia. Formerly hamstrung by geographic location between "West" and "East". Previous to that, hamstrung by geographic location between Germany and the Soviet Union. Economically reliant on agriculture, low level, unexplained "industry" and remittances. Thought to have invented University, at least in Europe. Famed in the Catholic Church as a production line of Jesuits - who as everyone knows - have the Papacy tied up.
