Česko je černým pasažérem EU (obrázek) i NATO (odkaz).
A kvůli podnikání několika oligarchů se zase několik let můžeme stydět, odkud to jsme. Co s tím uděláme?

@gettie @pmjv @tomulinek I'm pretty sure they're based on the country's local name for themselves for the most part

this isn't always true, at least for the czech republic, which is CZ, but there's no Z in the local name

(same for HUngary)

It's actually almost never true. Usually it's just a random pair of letters. For example, Japans' code is "JP", but there's neither a J nor a P in 日本. It's just which ever two letters the guy at google picked that day in 1998.
