What the fuck? Since when did the Czech Republic become Czechia?

When justice and truth reentered the world (circa Trump)

>>70162596
Last year I think

2016 but even then I didn't know about the change until now

>>70162737

Why did they change it?

They are still Czech Republic but Czechia is now officialy recognized

Are Czecha/Czechland bad ideas?

>>70162810
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.

>>70162596
They should be called Bohemia to be honest

>>70162822
Probably because us Eastern Europeans wouldn't stop using Czechia as the natural analogue to Češka (or Česka, for all you other Slavic fgts).

>>70163053
>t. Nemačka

FCZSKRCZ (The Former Czechoslovak Republic of Czechia)

>>70163053

>Cz

Oh you liar, you :^)

Sounds pretty awkward tbqh. Bohemia is a much nicer name

You should rename it as that and make Bohemian Rhapsody your national anthem

>>70164819
Czechia includes Moravia and parts of Silesia too.

That would be like calling the whole UK England or The Netherlands Holland.

>>70164543
>Puola
kind cute

>>70165003
Call it "Bohemia and Moravia" then

Silesia is so small it doesn't really matter

>>70165125
Čechy is another name for Bohemia

>>70165125
Nazi protectorate butthurt, Bohemian pepik butthurt. Would be nice but impossible now.

Czechia is OK, it shows we got rid of Germans.

>>70165172
What's the problem then?

>>70165125
Too long and it brings out unpleasant memories (Protektorat Böhmen und Mähren). Everyone would call it just Bohemia then. See Bosnia and Herzegovina.

>>70165211
There's a difference between Čechy (Bohemia) and Česko (Czechia).

That doesn't work very well in English.

>>70165227
>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.

>>70165282
Oh, okay. I didn't catch that because we call Czechia "Czechy" in Polish

>>70165322
Name doesnt matter t bh even after revolution it was habsburg empire

>>70165341
O shit dont let moravians hear that

>>70163053
this

>>70165322
What about Czechland?

>>70165394
That sounds atrocious. Even worse than Czechia.

>>70165394
Czechem

>>70163053
Didn't we kill them all during the 30 years' war? First they were too protestant, then too catholic, bad day for Böhmen.

Call them KEKia

>>70165514
IKEA? :D

We've always called it Tsjechië, so nice

It always was

I thought they decided against doing this. It doesn't sound good in English at all.

It's still Czech Republik.

>>70165782
I've literally never heard someone call it that

'Nobody calls it Czechia': Czech Republic's new name fails to catch on

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/oct/25/nobody-calls-it-czechia-czech-republic-new-fails-catch-on?CMP=fb_gu

>>70165692
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.

>>70165838
>Czech speaking people don't use English word for calling their country!!!

more news at 11

why is it spelled with "cz" though? that's polish spelling

>>70166046
cuz no weird letters allowed

Wtf I hate google maps now

>>70166146
why not call it "check republic" then?

>>70162596
we've been calling them Chequia since Checoslovaquia fragmented m8
catch up with the rest of the world, niggers.

>>70166046
Archaic spelling.

Jan Hus invented carons in the 15th century.

>>70166209
check my republic

alternative suggestions:
>do a portmanteau of Bohemia and Moravia, something like Bohemoravia
>just call it "the Czechlands" like the Netherlands

>>70163128
Looks Czech anyway

>>70166569
Czechia is more elegant.

they've always been called that here, as far as i recall

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).

Good job

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.

>>70167488
>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
