Tito died in 1980. Sloba has pronounced FRY in 1992, after four member states have left the previous federation. Given that 1991 was the year of secession war in Croatia, let's say that SFRY survived a full eleven years after Tito's death.

In 1990, there was an effort to reform the country. The then government of Ante Marković started building a mixed system, where private enterprise coexisted on the market with the society-owned ones. The country was blooming - 1990 was the year when everything looked very rosy, the currency was strong, business was doing fine, new shops were getting opened everywhere... and then they announced elections with multiple parties.

Now that may have been a chance to have the best of both - a socialist system which wouldn't be ruled by a single party. Two bad things happened right away: not a single party was registered at the federal level, they were all only state-level. The second was that the communists understood they'll lose power soon, but they didn't unite to keep the country together. They started helping each other stay in power on their own turfs. Sloba helped Franjo and vice versa.

By the end of 1990, it started approaching the fan... and the rest is just more history and less geography for everyone.
