Location
 
The Czech Republic is in the surrounded by 2 mountain ranges which surround the country that keep civilians in and invaders out. The USSR controlled the former Czechoslovakia under dictatorship, in-fact that was how the Czechs beat the Russians and split from Czechoslovakia a former country that when it was in power.
 
Mountains that border the country:
 
The Czech Republic has mountainous lands. These mountains create unusual weather from the inside. It also helps creates a barrier from outside Thunderstorms. The mountains surround this very small country. The Krkonoše Mountain Range, which outlines the North Range and then slopes downward. This kept the country difference from Poland. Its highest geographical point is Praded Peak. And the Hrubý Jeseník Mountain Range boards the West boarder. The Czech Republic has some of the highest points in Europe. The 3 major rivers cross each other and one river twice. This makes the cities pretty resourceful. About ¾ of the lakes are natural created by waterbeds and erosion.
 
Government
 
Since the Revolution in 1993, The Czech government switched to a democratic form of government. This sort of thing makes us proud to be what we are. When they were still apart of the Soviet Union, the comrades that where against that sort of thing naturally created their own fellowship. I was sure different from the strict silence that the Russians had, yes-sir-ree. What is different about it is the Prime Minister (foreign relations) is in command when the president is out of the country. The Prime Minister takes both military and Vise President roles in the Czech Republic Meanwhile if the president is in the country … he will work for the people and balance the country's finances. I also take that the President uses advise from a form of Secretary of State over there. Such examples are commending taxes, vetoing laws, going to dinners, budget tax money, creating government programs and so on. As you read on you'll see one of the Czechs government, even though strong, is not completed and is dependant on Peace from other countries. The country can win a battle but can't fight a war.
 
The court system is lacking only since there are only few places in the country to legally sue somebody. But the court system does get by one way or another.
 
LAWS AND FREEDOM OF THE PEOPLE
 
Basically it sounds like the laws are this the same as ours. Same police/ fire department management. But the country is also different like the old Russian Government in that people pay heavy taxes but get decent medical help, education, power (GDP), water, transit and welfare. Yes your water comes from the government! So pay your taxes and live a good life, or don't, and have a very hard time getting through it.
 
People
 
Czech Republic gets its revenue from people working in industries. The country has a free market but businessmen who are sick of the smoke in the country. The number one reason that people are leaving, besides that its government, education is great. And since Czech Republic is aging in technology and is only head of Russia only since the contractors built factories much later. The country is loosing about 4% of the population each year. Their senate is trying to find ways to bring people in the country, but they can’t upgrade their factors without owing back. Right know the Republic is generating 50 million dollars a year in taxes and interest.
 
People die in this country then are born. From WWII time when it was still under soviet control. From the 1940s the country had 200,000 births a year but in 2000 they have about 85,000. But taking that the country has only 12 Million people. About 1/6 of the population is born are citizens if the figures are true. The average person lives a life until he is 65 then he dies. About ¼ of the population dies from lung cancer. The birthrate and death-rate are the same. What’s cool in this country is that I’ve heard you can marry someone when your 15, and you are considered an adult then. You can enter the work force before college and earn a full wedge. If you don’t want too, you can continue High-school until your 18. Then continue to college but 1/5 of the Czechs that enter the education system get that far in life. This makes me fell good. Only ½ the population is employed. This also excludes people going to school.
 
People who live in the Czech Republic are not really different from the United States. The official language there is English. They have the same music, trends, snow-boarding, education as many Americans. Except that these people may not have 40 video-games in their house. But other then that the average person there is like us.
 
One ½ of the country says that there is a GOD. About 1/3 of the country is Catholic. Centuries ago, Czechoslovakia was worshiped by the Eastern Orthodox but two monks changed that forever and brought Christianity to the Slavs in A.D. 360.
 
Attractions
 
In Europe, the Czech Republic is becoming a center for Independent European Films. The country has many Relics still standing from the Byzantium Empire in 400 AD. Some of these include national cathedrals and palaces. But the smog in the city is what condemns it's beauty.
