Czech republic

Czech republic is a country you can find dwelling in the Central Europe. Czech rep. is not a part of the Eastern Europe as many believe and we strictly differ ourselves from them. We have common borders with Germany to the west, with Austria and Slovakia to the south and Poland to the east. Czech rep. (hereinafter "CR") consists of 10 million habitants living on almost 80 thousand square kilometres area. In Prague, the capital of CR, live over 1 million citizens. Prague is the largest city by far, when you consider that the second largest city, Brno, has something over 300 thousand habitants. CR is divided into 14 regions, these has certain level of independence, yet only on the region's level.

The political power is divided into three parts as in almost every country in the west. Legislative, executive and judicial power.Legislative power is in the hands of Parliament, composing of Senate and Chamber of Deputies, the president and the government holds the executive power. Judicial power is in the hand of Supreme court. Only one court has more power and that's the Constitutional court, which decides if law passed by the Parliament are not in conflict with the Constitution.

CR is rich in history. Before Slavic people came, there had been the Celts and even before them some pre-historical human settlements. You can find a lot of places of interest all over the CR. Some examples that I could talk about some more are Karlštejn, Český Krumlov, Olomouc or Říp and of course many more. The history is not the only thing that we can draw attention with. We have also few cities famous for their spas like Karlovy Vary, Mariánské lázně or Františkovi lázně. In addition to this, we have greatest beer and loads of beer festivals and even more breweries. People for whom the nature is the main thing to visit, we also can offer few mountain ranges like Krkonoše or Orlické hory and some beautiful National parks and Protected landscape areas.

I could talk on and on about economy (import/export), cultural habits or other things but that would take a long time to finish...
