After Czechoslovakia dissolved in 1992, the Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs recommended ''Czechia'' for the English short name. This form was not adopted at the time, leading to the long name ''Czech Republic'' being used in all circumstances. The Czech government approved ''Czechia'' as the official English short name in 2016. The short name has been listed by the United Nations and is used by other organisations such as the European Union, CIA, and Google Maps.
