Fun fact, a lot of european medieval artists (monks mainly) had no idea what a lion properly looked like. This got better after the crusades and more christian influence was present in North Africa, but there are many examples of lions being drawn strangely and in a "dog-like" manner, probably explains your confusion with the white lion... just a clergical artist who was described that a lion "looks like a big dog with fur around it's head" :D

@@morroghaiky6580 Please THINK ;) my comment was about use of term 'binge drinking'., not overall consumption... as you should know, "binge drinking" means concentrating your consumption into short periods of time - meaning drink yourself to oblivion WHEN you drink.(regardless whether you drink often or rarely) So if person A does 15 half liters of beer once a week, then person A is a 'binge drinker' When person B does two half liters of beer every day, then Person B has same consumption as Person A, but Person B is not 'binge drinking'- hope you get what I mean;) Binge drinking is just not the culture here. Regular consumption of beer is. There is a difference between the two;) P.S. As I wrote , I spent some time in Belgium(exchange student), and that culture of 'let's get really drunk when we go out' kind of surprised me coming from the CZ. Another interesting aspect of Belgium's drinking culture i noticed (at least among students) is 'getting ready' before going clubbing by drinking at home (cheaper supermarket alcohol as compared to more pricey alcohol in clubs/pubs)- not done here either

1:00 actually there was a Czech state before, it was called Great Moravia (Veľká Morava) and it concurred Slovakia, parts of Poland, today Hungary and more to the south, but I’m not sure how much, but then Hungarians came from the east and win against Great Moravia, Slovakia became a part of Hungary and the duchy of Bohemia was created.

[@aphrenia]

Wrong, it was not a czech state. It was moravian, what was different tribe, then czechs. Also territorial extent was much smaller, basically it was today Moravia, western and central Slovakia and small parts of Austria and northern Hungary. Other territories were just paying tribute and was not part of Great Moravis (well, Svatopluk was duke of Bohemia for very short time).

[@thealphasam7350]

Well I’m not an expert, you can be right, but I googled Veľká Morava after you wrote this comment and at its peak it was pretty much what I was saying, but yeah I don’t understand it that well, so I won’t play the smart one here

Czech, Moravian, Slovakian and Sorbs are tribes that in time of creation of Great Morava were culturaly in union (Tribes leaders saw themselfs as one Tribe union and with christianity later it translated into full cultural union where only subtle differeces persist.) Slovaks were then cut from it by Hungarians and Sorbs by Germans and where asimilited into respective culture. Sorbs more then Slovaks.

To je také i důvod, proč cyrilice (dnešní azbuka), je hodně podobná řecké abecedě. V té době se ale u nás psalo hlaholicí. Tato abeceda se, bohužel, nedochovala celá, nevíme tedy s jistotou, jak se hlaholicí psalo.

The history of the lion rampant is a bit murky. According to legend (meaning the Chronicle of so-called Dalimil) it was awarded to King Vladislav I. by Frederick Barbarosa as a reward for bravery in the Italian campaign, and the split tail was an "upgrade" for yet more battle honours. In reality this does not seem to have been the case. This is related to one mistake you made about the status of Moravia; it used to be an independent state (Great Moravia) but was destroyed by Hungarians, leaving only its former dependency (Bohemia) intact. Bohemians were later able to reconquer Moravia around 1000AD and it has always been an integral part of the Czech state (though it was under foreign occupation for a few brief periods). During this time it usually served as an appanage for the heir apparent (much like the Principality of Wales, although the Přemyslid heir would actually rule in Moravia). The promotion to a Margravy was an attempt by Barbarosa to split the Czech state in two by granting sort-of independence to the Moravian prince Konrád Ota. But Konrád ultimately didn't bite, made up with prince Bedřich of Bohemia and they affirmed the indivisibility of the realm and permanent union between Bohemia and Moravia. Getting around to the coat of arms itself, a few decades later Moravia was held as an appanage by Přemysl Otakar II., who after he became king is the wirst ruler to have used the split-tail lion rampant as his coat of arms. Historians today believe that a simple lion rampant was orignally the coat of arms of Moravia that Přemysl was using as a prince, and he simply kept it when he succeeded his father Václav, adding the crown to symbolise his royal title and split tail to signify him being the ruler of two indivisible lands. They then had to come up with a new coat of arms for Moravia (the current one), but nobody seems to know where that came from. Lots more detail on this here: chronicaboemorum.com/

C'mon, we fought for our republic in 1918, 1938, 1968, 1989 and many people died for it, so it is not so difficult to say CZECH REPUBLIC instead of stupid czechia. BTW., what we gave to the world: word ROBOT, word PISTOL, hedgehogs agains tanks, machinegun BREN, cars Škoda and Tatra, Pilsner Urquell, shoes Bata etc, etc, etc.

Ilegálního na tom nic není. Je to porušení jednoho bodu dohody o rozdělení federace, ale to je asi tak vše. Byl to takový slovenský naschvál. Sami jste o tu vlajku zájem neměli, ale strašně jste se snažili, aby jsme ji nemohli použít. Paradoxně řešením, které by ten bod dohody naplňovalo, přitom by fakticky nic nezměnilo, byla třeba jen změna tónu jedné z barev. Kdybysme zvolili zářivější modrou, nemohli byste říct ani bž :-)

[@Aedar]

Cool vid :) And the pronounciation wasn't that bad :D I have to admit I was hoping you would mention the greater coat of arms of the first republic (also used on the presidential flag at the time) it looked similiar to the one you used, so called middle coat of arms, but it had three more arms on it for other, smaller regions, and it was held by two lions on the sides with our national motto "truth prevails" underneath it... Personally that's my favourite one :) Also, the coat of arms for the "Lands of the Bohemian Crown" (aka lands traditionally ruled by the king of bohemia) was pretty cool :) And finally, as for the lion, according to one legend I heard, from my history teacher I think, was that the lion was supposed to be king Přemysl Otakar I. A very powerful king in his time, and the tails were supposed to represent the pope and the emperor, following his will. Due to his impressive military power, he was able to influence the imperial politics and papal opinion enough for the King of Bohemia be proclaimed a hereditary title to be passed on to his descendants as well as get some other cool perks such as being excused from "Reichstag" (basically parliament) unless it was close to czech lands... If the Emperor decided to hold the Reichstag in Hamburg for example, czech kings didn't have to come, unless they wanted to. (More in the Golden Bule of Sicily issued in 1212) This was a pretty big deal, since there were no other kings in the HRE. Technically the emperor was a "king of the germans" however this was mainly a "temporary" title for the emperor to use before his coronation as an emperor, which was supposed to be performed by the Pope himself... And even for the rest of HREs history, there really weren't other kings in HRE. Austria was an Archduchy, so basically like a half step from duchy to kingdom, and Prussia was outside imperial borders so the kings were called "kings in prussia" instead of "kings of prussia". Sorry I kind of started rambling a long and boring history lesson... If you read this entire comment, kudos to you :)
