On this day, the 15th of February 1991. The Visegrád group, also known today as V4, was created by the leaders of Czechoslovakia, Hungary and Poland. Establishing cooperation to move toward free-market systems after the end of communism. It still stands today as a strong bond between its 4 members.

Not so strong, as a Slovak…I would like to leave it, Poland and Hungary are kind of undemocratic lately
Different thing with Havel, Walesa…I don’t care for V4 anymore.
It could have been strong group, but with politics of Hungary and Poland not much

Ugh, this again. No, it doesn’t. It served its purpose (NATO + EU ascension) and had its slight resurgence during migrant crisis, but otherwise it’s pretty much dead entity (and it’ll be formally dead once Czech Republic or Slovakia leave). Even something like *Three Seas Initiative* is far more relevant than V4 for the regional cooperation.
Can someone here describe the population, area, GDP, etc. of the country that would be created by the 4 members merging? That would be interesting to know how high it would rank among other EU countries.
