Czech Republic consists of 14 regions. We can also divide our country into three historical regions – Moravia, Silesia, Bohemia. The head of the state is the President. He is elected for a five-year long term. Real power, however, has mostly parliament and the government. The Czech flag was first adopted in 1918 as the flag of the newly established Czechoslovakia. It consists of a horizontal white band above a red band (traditional colours of Bohemia and Moravia) and a blue triangle. The blue triangle originally represented Slovakia, but it was kept as a part of the Czech flag even after the split of Czechoslovakia.

Our republic is traditionally an industrial country – chemical, food, textile but mostly engineering (machine tools, locomotives, tractors, agricultural machines). In animal production, cattle-breeding and pig-breeding are most important. Fish-breeding, especially carp-breeding has a long tradition in South Bohemia ponds.

Important inventions include modern contact lens made by Otto Wichterle or the production of Semtex – plastic explosive. The word robot was used for the first time by Czech author Karel Čapek. Typical Czech drink is beer or Kofola. Our country is rich in minerals. Black coal (Ostrava Coal Basin, area of Kladno) and brown coal and lignite (North Bohemia Coal Basin), sand for glass-making, iron ore, uranium, kaolin, etc., are mined in the Czech Republic. Our country is also attracted by many tourists. The Czech rep. has many spas. Spa services have a long tradition. They are visited by healthy and also sick people from our country and from abroad. The most famous are – Carlsbad, Velké Losiny etc.

Places of interest

Besides Prague, which is in the centre of tourists’ attention –there are many other interesting places which are worth visiting in the Czech Republic. Kutná Hora is a nice historical town with a Gothic Cathedral of St. Barbora. Český Krumlov in southern Bohemia as well as Telč or Slavonice in southern Moravia are towns where we can see fine examples of the Renaissance architecture. There are also many castles in our country, for example Karlštejn – founded by the King Charles IV in 14th century, Hluboká, Konopiště, Křivoklát and so on. In the west there are Karlovy Vary and Mariánské Lázně – our well-known spas. The Krkonoše mountains are one of our national parks of the country. Here you can go for a hike on one of many marked paths. The mountains are lovely in every season of the year.
