It was just a harmless comment. You don't have to get snippy about it. I actually like this article. I just have one issue. The article is pretty much empty! I like the premise and all, but there is no substance.

I kind of got stuck on this. I originally planned to base the Republic in Bohemia around Plzen, before I found out the Soviets put a bunch of SS-20 missiles nearby. I've since been working on Bavaria and Swabia-Wurttenburg and left this alone. Can anyone help me with where I should put the capital? Jnjaycpa 04:22, June 23, 2010 (UTC)
I wasn't getting snippy about it, I just made a sarcastic comment. But it would be cool if the Bohemian Rhapsody was the national anthem! Arstarpool 03:01, June 23, 2010 (UTC)
As cool as that would be, the Czechs probbably have a more appropriate song in mind. I doubt that there are enough Czech Queen fans to make them want to choose "Bohemian Rhapsody". My initial comment was just a pun on the nation's name.

Hey, if noone minds, I'd like to take over this article. There are some changes I'd like to make. In addition, I'd like a source about the nuclear missles - I can't find anything about them. Czechophile 21:53, November 22, 2011 (UTC)
That is not in the least how you do any of that. I have reversed all of your edits. Without permission from the caretakers of this article, you may not edit it. Nor, even with permission, are you allowed to change anything already there. I encourage you to look at both the rules of this timeline, and that of the wiki itself.

Sorry - I definitely should have read the rules and waited. I hope it wasn't too much work to reverse the updates. ~Czechophile
Hello, this alternate history timeline is definitely cool. I simply revel to reading about various countries after doomsday (especially breakdown of the USA is fascinating). As a Czech I would like point out some inaccuracies in article about Bohemia. Czech affinity with Czechoslovakia too strong to not persist after Doomsday. So I do not believe that czech survivors in western part of Bohemia simply declared independent state of Bohemia. I rather presume that local administration would declare either provisional state of Western Bohemia (if they believed that some kind of central government in Prague survived) or simply declared itself as succesor of defunct czechoslovak government with aim to restore Czechoslovakia. I am convinced that governemnt in Karlovy Vary would seek any possible contact with Slovaks in order to restore former czechoslovak unity. On the other hand I do not believe that discrimination of Germans in Bohemia would be serious issue. So called Sudeten Germans were almost completely expulsed after World War II. Only in Hlučín area significant german population remained. But Hlučín area is situated in eastern part of Czech republic, which was severely destroyed during the nuclear exchange. ~anon
Well I think that changes to that effect would turn the article into a piece of Czech-wank. Before you get offended that in wiki terms means "any article so dedicated to the betterment of a nation or culture that it tends to ignore the issues of plausibility". Doomsday is a dystopic timeline, and many more nations of the world (even some not struck) were fragmented due to the events of Doomsday. Besides there's the issue of governments. Bohemia is a somewhat democratic state, and Moravia has kept it's communist government. You have to deal with the fact that in this timeline reunification isn't the first thing on either Bohemia or Moravia's agenda. And while you are right that they expelled the local German population, you have failed to recognize that there could have been quite a few refugees coming from former Germany in the years after Doomsday.

I simply reflected common czech feelings during post World War II period. Read something about idea of czechoslovakianims. This idea was wrong, but still vital as late as 1980s. It has nothing to do with alleged betterment of czech nation. Czechs traditionally considered themselves as Czechoslovaks, contrary to Slovaks who always considered tehmselves as distinctive nation. By the way, czech desire to restore czechoslovak unity is potentialy as dengerous as prussian expansionism or socialist siberian demands (both states desire to regain their former teritory). I do not believe that refusal of existence of distinctive Slovak nation is much flattering to Czechs.
I just noted, that establishing of residual Czechoslovak state by local administration in western Bohemia would be more plausible (based on historical facts) than declaration of independent Bohemia. By the way, if there is discrimination of ethnic Germans in Bohemia, relations between Karlovy Vary and german speaking Beireuth should be far less cordial than you presume. I only express my point of view. Nothing more.

Well, I have to say that you're probably exaggerating the affinity of the Czechs for the duel state. In the early 1990s, the same percentage of Czechs as Slovaks, some 37% for both - meaning, a larger overall number - wanted dissolution. Nor would any real contact be something possible for a very long time with points eastward. Add in the passage of time, and the picture is sound.
As Yank said, German refugees. A lot of them. Who by and large have nothing, and get seen as a burden by the locals. Pretty likely that the average person wouldn't be happy with it. But, that's not the government, or their policy, so it wold have little effect, barring some sort of major outburst, on foreign affairs.
Plus, they've had decades on their own. By this point, they are Czech. Not Czechoslovak.

One question: Did anyone realize that there is no reported target in Slovakia? Or didn't I see it? If Slovakia survived, definitely I'll make an article.
