| Czechia | The Czech Republic |
Czechia is a country in Central Europe. Its neighbors are Poland, Slovakia, Austria and Germany. The Czech Republic was officially created on January 1 1993. From 1918 to 1992 (except several years during WWII), it was a part of Czechoslovakia. The other part exists now as the Slovak Republic. |
Czechia is the official one-word name of the Czech Republic. In 1993 the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic in its memorandum to all Czech embassies and diplomatic missions recommended to use the full name "Czech Republic" only in official documents and titles of official institutions. In all other cases, the one-word name Czechia should be preferred.
