Bring back Czechoslovakia

I'd like to go to Prague, the capital city of the Czech Republic.

I wish, though, that the country was still known as
Czechoslovakia. Not because I don't think the "Velvet Divorce" was the right thing to do.

My reason is selfish: I spent a lot of time learning how to spell
Czechoslovakia when I was little. My sister even invented a song to help me remember it.

And yet on Jan. 1, 1993, that skill became useless.
