Czech Republic
Capital: Prague
Beer, bohemia, and a thousand-year-old heart of Europe.
Daily life
Czechs drink more beer per person than any country on earth — usually in a pub (hospoda), the social hub. Sundays are for family lunch, walks in the woods, and weekend cottages (chata). Punctuality matters; small talk doesn't.
Food
- Svíčková (beef in cream sauce with dumplings)
- Vepřo knedlo zelo (pork, dumplings, sauerkraut)
- Trdelník
- Smažený sýr (fried cheese)
- Pilsner Urquell beer
Family values
Families are small but tight; grandparents often raise grandchildren. The 'chata' weekend cottage is a near-universal tradition.

Religion & spiritual life
One of the most secular countries on earth — most Czechs identify as non-religious, though Catholic and Hussite Christian heritage shapes the calendar.
