I guess I live under a rock

And my point is its not a "NEW" name, just an alternate one.

The country has been traditionally divided into three lands, namely Bohemia (Čechy) in the west, Moravia (Morava) in the east, and Czech Silesia (Slezsko; the smaller, south-eastern part of historical Silesia, most of which is located within modern Poland) in the northeast.[27] Known as the lands of the Bohemian Crown since the 14th century, a number of other names for the country have been used, including Czech/Bohemian lands, Bohemian Crown, Czechia, and the lands of the Crown of Saint Wenceslaus. When the country regained its independence after the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian empire in 1918, the new name of Czechoslovakia was coined to reflect the union of the Czech and Slovak nations within one country.

My emphasis added.

That’s all fine and dandy, but it’s off on a tangent from what I originally said.
Take note. You spelled it Czechia with a CZ. I was referring to a different spelling.
CH and not CZ. Czechia vs Chechnia. Easy to see how it can be confused with Chechnya.
Had it been spelled with a CZ I would have seen something was different immediately but gathered what they meant.
In my lifetime it was called Czechoslovakia and the Czech Republic.
Czechia or Chechnia was “new” to ME. WAS new to me. But I had already familiarized myself with that before I posted in this thread.

And that was the gist of it.
keeping in line with the context of the OP.

One of those 57 states obama used to speak of.

The 57th state is called Heinz.

Figered you'd say that---Heinz is a German name, right?

I guess production of the Yugo was enough to finish off Yugoslavia.

it was a GREAT design. They even had a heated back window to keep your hands warm while you were pushing it !! (that's a Minnesota joke).
I think some car dealer back in Bloomington MN was giving away a free yugo if you bought a big oldsmobile or cadillac.

I heard that warranty claims bankrupt the company that made them.
