Prague is the capital of what country?

Prague is the capital of the Czech Republic.

Prague, called Praha in Czech, is the country’s largest city and its political, cultural, and economic center. It sits on the Vltava River in the historic region of Bohemia and is home to the national government, Parliament, president, and major courts. The city is also one of Central Europe’s most important historic destinations.

Prague became the capital of the independent Czech Republic when Czechoslovakia dissolved peacefully on January 1, 1993. Before that, it served as the capital of Czechoslovakia from its creation in 1918, apart from periods of wartime occupation. Its historic core includes Prague Castle, Charles Bridge, and the Old Town Square.

A common naming issue concerns “Czech Republic” and “Czechia.” Czechia is the country’s shorter geographical name, while the Czech Republic remains its official formal name. Therefore, both can identify the same country, but “Czech Republic” is fully correct for this question.
