    Yup, Czechia is the preferred name, but either can be used. Inside the country, it’s like 5% pro-short-name, 5% pro-long-name, 30% don’t speak English, and 60% don’t care.

    We use “Česko” all the time even though it’s “Česká republika” (ČR) in all official documents. The historical lands (Bohemia, Moravia, part of Silesia) have nice short names already but “Czech” was a nationality before it was a country, which is why putting it in line with the others feels off. (Yes, there was a country that encompassed all of Czech Republic and more, called Království české (Kingdom of Bohemia) but Moravians didn’t complain because české means either Bohemian or Czech in Czech.)
