Re: why the Czech Republic is \"Czechoslovakia\"
It was probably spelling Czech as check that threw me ;-)
The code argument is a good one. I'm not a developer, but I've worked in software long enough to know the headaches apparently 'minor' changes can cause.
The "wasting an OOB slot for a name change in a minor eastern [sic] European country" argument is less strong I feel.
"Slovakia does have a separate oob - no. 51"
Now that is good news. I have in mind setting up a scenario where recent tensions between Slovakia and Hungary escalate into an armed clash. It's unlikely, but not impossible.
Anyway, thanks for the prompt answers.
