Human Rights Watch Warns of 'Authoritarian Drift' in Turkey

Why would Czechia not also refer to Moravia? Weird.

Yeah.  I understood that was the complaint against using Bohemia, but don't see why Czech/Czechia would be caught up.

SOme quick googling suggests that no, Czechia is not really becoming a thing.

Because Czechia means Bohemia and Bohemia and Moravia are different, I guess.

How did Bohemia become Czechia, anyone know?  Or alternatively, if Bohemians always called themselves Czechs, where and why did Bohemia come in?

Moravians are also Czechs though.

Eh, pretty sure Czechs and Moravians are separate people/nationalities/ethnicities.

Not according to the Moravians I know.

But even if this is true why would 'The Czech Republic' not be problematic but 'Czechia' is?

Bohemia is named after a Celtic tribe, the Boii. Bavaria is also named after them. Boii moved out, replaced by Germanic tribes then Slavs.

Cool.  Thanks.

Ok so what is the difference between Czechia and Ceska? They seem like the same thing except one has an anglicized spelling.

And Bolivia?  The Boli.
