Explain this meme about the Czech Republic
This meme humorously renames the Czech Republic as "Shrekia," playfully depicting the country's outline as a cartoonish representation of Shrek, the famous animated ogre. The joke hinges on the visual pun of transforming a recognizable map shape into something whimsical, blending geography with pop culture. It pokes fun at the country's name by associating it with the beloved character from the "Shrek" movies.
Has the Czech Republic changed name recently?
Yes, in 2023, the Czech Republic officially adopted the short-form name "Czechia" for informal use, though the full name "Czech Republic" is still widely used. This change aims for simplicity and ease of use in international contexts.
