Last year I think

2016 but even then I didn't know about the change until now
Bentley Butler
What the hell? It's real...
I know they discussed changing it but I thought they didn't like Czechia
Ayden Lee
?
Charles Turner
Why did they change it?
Henry Diaz
They are still Czech Republic but Czechia is now officialy recognized
Nolan Barnes
Are Czecha/Czechland bad ideas?
Bentley Collins
The Czech gov determines the English nomenclature of its own country because it's the lingua franca, but the German nomenclature is probably left to the Germans cause German is more specialised these days imo.
Adam Perez
They should be called Bohemia to be honest
Jack Jenkins

Carson Campbell
Probably because us Eastern Europeans wouldn't stop using Czechia as the natural analogue to Češka (or Česka, for all you other Slavic fgts).

czechia
Jason Robinson
No we are romans
David Fisher
Oh you liar, you :^)
Chase Thompson
Sounds pretty awkward tbqh. Bohemia is a much nicer name
You should rename it as that and make Bohemian Rhapsody your national anthem
Isaiah Parker
Czechia includes Moravia and parts of Silesia too.
That would be like calling the whole UK England or The Netherlands Holland.
Henry Richardson
>Puola
kind cute
Xavier Taylor
Call it "Bohemia and Moravia" then
Silesia is so small it doesn't really matter
Aiden Wright
Čechy is another name for Bohemia
Landon Williams
Nazi protectorate butthurt, Bohemian pepik butthurt. Would be nice but impossible now.
Czechia is OK, it shows we got rid of Germans.
Ryan Jones
What's the problem then?
Carson Powell
Too long and it brings out unpleasant memories (Protektorat Böhmen und Mähren). Everyone would call it just Bohemia then. See Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Matthew Young
There's a difference between Čechy (Bohemia) and Česko (Czechia).
That doesn't work very well in English.
Lucas Williams
>Everyone would call it just Bohemia then. See Bosnia and Herzegovina.
On the other hand is Austria-Hungary where you barely hear anyone shortening it only to Austria. Also many people incorrectly use it even for calling Habsburg empire before 1867.
Landon Cox
Oh, okay. I didn't catch that because we call Czechia "Czechy" in Polish
Jayden Peterson
Name doesnt matter t bh even after revolution it was habsburg empire
O shit dont let moravians hear that
Juan Young
this
Asher Wood
What about Czechland?
Sebastian Morales
That sounds atrocious. Even worse than Czechia.
Hunter Nelson
Czechem
Camden Ross
Didn't we kill them all during the 30 years' war? First they were too protestant, then too catholic, bad day for Böhmen.
Luis Allen
Call them KEKia
Jordan Cox
IKEA? :D
Jonathan Ward
We've always called it Tsjechië, so nice
Lucas Gray
It always was
Mason Robinson
I thought they decided against doing this. It doesn't sound good in English at all.
Jack Lee
It's still Czech Republik.
Adrian Hill
I've literally never heard someone call it that
Nicholas Mitchell
'Nobody calls it Czechia': Czech Republic's new name fails to catch on
Juan Perry
You can still call it Czech Republic. They just decided that Czechia will be another, shorter option.
I think it sounds bad only because we're not used to it.
Jason Johnson
>Czech speaking people don't use English word for calling their country!!!
more news at 11
Adrian Bell
why is it spelled with "cz" though? that's polish spelling
Nathan Green
cuz no weird letters allowed
Kayden Morgan
Wtf I hate google maps now
Daniel Reed
why not call it "check republic" then?
Lincoln Hernandez
we've been calling them Chequia since Checoslovaquia fragmented m8
catch up with the rest of the world, niggers.
Josiah Moore
Archaic spelling.
Jan Hus invented carons in the 15th century.
Jonathan James
check my republic
Jason Green
alternative suggestions:
>do a portmanteau of Bohemia and Moravia, something like Bohemoravia
>just call it "the Czechlands" like the Netherlands
Mason Myers
Looks Czech anyway
Parker Cook
Czechia is more elegant.
Brayden Diaz
they've always been called that here, as far as i recall
Christopher Mitchell
They should pick something that doesn't sound so similar to Chechnya because of the inherent danger of accidental liberation by US or Russia (whereever the Chechens blow up people next time).

tbf i didn't know check republic was a country til like 2013
Nathan Davis
Good job
Nolan Perry
A republic is not a land, therefore Czech Republic is wrong for some uses. Therefore they're always Czechy.
Czechia is too pretentiously Latin for English use.
Leo Watson
>Therefore they're always Czechy.
Čechy are just one part of the country, implementing said name would trigger the other half
>Czechia is too pretentiously Latin for English use.
I agree, it looks/sounds awful
