Those are the statistical regions, correct. Only used for statistics and corona prevention mesures, by the way. But it is the best way of splitting.
The English names are somewhat stupid, but again, these are the correct ones.
Yeah, was thinking the same thing about the English names. Our translations are kinda okay, definitely not as far from the original as Slovenian ones are… Weird.
True, these are the right statistical regions with weird English names, but we’ll not invent something new here, I suppose.
I’m not really keen on dividing our huuuuuuuge country, but if all countries will be regionalized then ok. I just hope that someday dividing will not go any further as we have more than 200 municipalities, which is a complete nonsense.
550+ cities and municipalities here, uneducated “cousins” (most belonging to a certain party, often but far from exclusively immigrants from the Balkans to Croatia) needed to be employed to play Solitaire on taxpayers’ money and keep said party in power.
Don’t doubt that the motivation for that was not dissimilar there.
On a more serious note - you guys have more breweries than us I’d guess (heck, at some point you had more active brewpubs just in southern part of Primorska than Croatia had in its entire territory), so there’s definitely more than enough breweries there to warrant a split - and unlike in some countries we wouldn’t have to invent regions.
I’d be against this division into traditional regions. One of the things is, where to put Ljubljana. Also, the current 12 statistical regions is much better, because it divides Stajerska into two parts (even 3), as people prefer.
