When I was a kid, Yugoslavia was a country.

I used to work with a guy who was very insistent that he was Czechoslovak.

Not Czech nor Slovak but Czechoslovak !

Seemingly his Mother was one and his Father the other and he took great pride in his hybrid identity and allegiance to a country which no longer exists.

Probably loads of folk like that in the former Yugoslavia and USSR as well.
