The Eternal Slovenia/Slovakia Mix-Up Archives

Proof that Slovenia never dies.

One thing the Internet has provided us with (besides obscene amounts of pornography) is an outlet for humanity’s little grudges to flourish. Anyone who has spent any time on a forum or in a chat room knows how quickly a discussion of, say, salsa dancing can escalate into a full-blown war of words until (inevitably) someone gets called a Nazi.

The Last Combat is a natural outgrowth of this. It lets you pit two things against each other and then mock kill one or the other, or both. Presumably there’s some kind of vicarious thrill to this, because some matches get a lot of attention. (The most popular right now is USA vs. Russia)

Slovenia is currently featured in two fights: Slovenia vs. Slovakia (with no one yet participating) and Slovenia vs. The Czech Republic. (A case of the ol’ mix-up, I believe.)

Miraculously, there is no “Croatia vs. Slovenia” although I’m pretty sure it’ll be there before the end of the year — possibly even the end of today. When it does, I can see it making the list of most active fights very quickly.

In short: The Internet is dumb. Then again, how did we ever survive without it?
