Talking about this issue, who changed the correct name "Czech republic" to 
"Czechia"? "Czechia" is a nonsense - the legal and correct name of our
country 
is "Czech republic". This has a simple reason: we are all Czechs, we speak
Czech 
but even in our language, there is not one single word to describe what you
call 
"Czechia". Our country is historically divided into regions of Bohemia,
Moravia and 
Silesia... There is no "Czechland" :-)

Hans-Petter, please correct it...

btw, a czech equivalent to "Czechia" is sometimes used, but is not
correct...
