Czechia (Czech Republic) is a central European country without access to the sea, surrounded by Poland to the northeast, Germany to the northwest and west, Austria to the south and Slovakia to the southeast. Grouping together the historic regions of Bohemia, Moravia, and part of Silesia, the Czech Republic has been independent since 1 January 1993 on the occasion of the split of the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic, in other words Czechoslovakia, which thus included Czech Republic and Slovakia.
