WHERE I HAVE LIVED ALL MY LIFE ?

I believe I am not product of political systems. I do not mind, if I live in a kingdom, republic or whatever. There were several changes of political systems and names in my country during my life. I was born in the Czechoslovak Republic, and I was living gradually in Czechoslovak Socialist Republic, Czechoslovak Federal Republic, Czech & Slovak Federal Republic and Czech Republic, but all that time it was the same country and I can say without doubts, that all the time I live in Czechia

 

Thus,

I am from Czechia,

not from "the Czech Republic"

 

So, dear fellow foreigners, I would like to point out that there is another name of our country besides “the Czech Republic”. It is “Czechia”. In the Czech language, we usually do not say “Česká republika” (“the Czech Republic” in English), but we commonly use a short form “Česko” (“Czechia” in English). The name “Czechia” denominates our country in universal context, "the Czech Republic" only state formation which has been existed only since 1993. Please, do the same thing and use “Czechia” as the name of our country. 

 

Historical names of the country, 

its territorial parts & their meanings

Political and geographical names of the country in recent century

ONLY GEOGRAPHICAL NAME, WHICH IS UNIVERSAL AND POLITICALLY NEUTRAL CAN BRIDGE ALL POLITICAL AND SOCIO-POLITICAL CHANGES IN THE COUNTRY DURING CENTURIES AS IS USUAL IN EVERY WELL ESTABLISHED STATE 

THUS, IN OUR CASE ONLY "CZECHIA" !
