We would like to draw your attention to the fact that CZECHIA has become the
official geographic (short) name of the Czech Republic and included in the
United Nations’ UNGEGN World Geographic Names database on July 5, 2016

http://unstats.un.org/unsd/geoinfo/geonames/

https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#iso:code:3166:CZ

For this reason, we kindly ask you for the inclusion of the name Czechia into
your vocabulary as it is no longer necessary to use the political name „the
Czech Republic“.

Thank you
