The Czech Republic or Czechia first became an independent nation as Czechoslovakia in 1918 when it cut ties with the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Then, in 1993 Czechia and Slovakia parted ways amicably to become two independent nations within Europe. Czechia is landlocked and is surrounded by other Central European countries (Austria, Hungary, Poland).

The local currency is the Czech Koruna so you need to convert prices, salaries and other financial information into euros. At the time of writing, 1 Czech Koruna is equal to 0.04 euros.
