- anamexis 4y agoI don't disagree (and I certainly would never correct anyone who says Czech Republic), but "Federal Republic of Germany" usage was fairly common before Germany was reunited.
- smcl 4y agoPeople would say "I'm going to visit my brother in Federal Republic of Germany", or "I'm going to ... West Germany?". That doesn't sound right
