It is interesting, however, that the terms offered as equivalents to
"Czechia" in other languages ("Tschechien in German, Tchéquie in French,
Chequía in Spanish, Cecchia in Italian")  on one of the pages (
http://www.p.lodz.pl/I35/personal/jw37/EUROPE/cesko2.htm ) seem to be well
accepted, at least if you believe their frequency as returned from a Google
search.
