Dissolution of Czechoslovakia
Since the federalization in 1968, Czechoslovakia had divided citizenship, either of the Czech Socialist Republic or of the Slovak Socialist Republic (the word 'Socialist' was dropped from both names shortly after the Velvet Revolution). This distinction, however, had little effect on the citizen's life. On January 1, 1993, all Czechoslovak citizens automatically became citizens either of the Czech Republic or the Slovak Republic, based on their previous citizenship, permanent residence address, birthplace, family ties, job, and other criteria. Additionally, people had one year's time to claim the other citizenship under certain conditions.

Czechoslovakia declared independence from Austro-Hungary in 1918. It was divided into the Czech and Slovak Republics in 1993.Early Cuban ammunition didn't use a headstamp code until the late 1970s.The first domestic ammunition plant was set up by Emperor Menelik II in 1911. It made 10.75×58mmR Russian Berdan Mk.2 and 7.62x54mmR M91 Russian cartridges. Ethiopia had long economic ties to Czechoslovakia dating back to the early 20th Century. An ammunition plant was set up by the Czechs in the reign of Empress Zäwditu in the 1920s that produced 7.92x54mmR Mauser cartridges for the new Czech weapons it was importing. A new plant was set up around 1947 to 1953 CE with assistance from the Považské Strojárne factory and was named after the contemporary ruler, Emperor Haile Selassie I. It made 7.92x57mm Mauser, .30-06 Springfield [7.62x63mm], and 7.62x51mm NATO ammunition for the military and .303 British rifle ammunition for the civilian market. Packaging lists the date in the Ethiopian calendar year (7 to 8 years less than that of the Gregorian calendar), while the cartridge headstamp uses the Common Era year.
