Bohemia, sometimes Chequy ([ˈt͡ʃɛki]; Bohemian: Čechij) and officially the Lands of the Bohemian Crown (Země Koruny české), is a country situated in central Europe. Landlocked, it is bordered by Austria to the south, Saxony to the north, Poland in the northeast, and Slovakia in the southeast. In modern-day Europe, it is recognized as one of the only extant ODN-aligned Slavic states alongside Illyria. As the contemporary Bohemian state is a renovated continuation of its medieval form, Bohemia is formally comprised of two equal and federal Crown entities — the Kingdom of Bohemia and the smaller Margraviate of Moravia.
