Disclaimer: This is only an FYI (For your information) type posting. I'm only making people aware of something I came across. I'm also posting this in case Red51 considers adding 'River Monitors' into Rising World during early modern era in Rising World to protect ourselves from potential hostile naval threats, IF we get that far in the game. Everything is up to him while I simply make note of things. I was jokingly Googling if Slovakia had a navy of any sort, even river types. They had.

The President Masaryk - River Monitor:
QuoteThe President Masaryk was the largest warship of the Czech-Slovak navy. Its construction began in 1929 in the Slovak town of Komárno. The ship touched the surface of the Danube on October 19, 1930 for the first time, when First Czechoslovak President Tomáš G. Masaryk visited Slovakia.

My Thoughts:
I'm dying laughing because I was searching as a joke trying to find out if Slovakia has claimed any naval identifications similar to HMS, RNS, HMCS, IJN, USN, etc. I found out Slovakia had a few river monitors, one of which is 'The President Masaryk', a River Monitor build at Komarno, a Slovakian settlement making it a Slovak build vessel. Techincally it's Czechslovakia, I'm being bias because of its birth place of Komarno. 
Having had family and relatives from Slovakia, and all I want to hype of Slovakia for my positive experiences from there.
Again, it is up to Red51 to consider if we shall have warships or not, I just want to make people aware these existed because these are easily prone to be forgotten in history. I even had a good laugh finding out Slovakia actually had warships for their Danube river patrols. 
Not mocking, just proud and happy. Surprise. I also am well aware of Skoda so I view it fondly from my experiences in Slovakia.
I don't care. IF (and a big IF).... IF we do obtain these River Monitors I'm putting my own flag, Canadian, and Slovakian flag on it . Czechs & Hungarians may fight me saying it is theirs, I won't care. It's more Czech and especially Slovakian than it is anything else. Rising World is also a game so it be wise to keep politics out. I'm just simply highly amused and hyped up right now haha. Slovakia actually had a warship. Nice. I hope we can see it reincarnated into Rising World, Red51 willing.
