How about "Czechovia"?
"Czechistan" seems a little harsh.

The Czechs themselves call it Cechy (pronounced "chechy", the second "ch" being hard as in "challah" bread). I suppose Bohemia would do.

I have no idea. But this is something I'm really confused about.
It's always Czech Republic - on TV, in newspapers, everywhere. And sometimes this part "Republic" doesn't fit.
Like my country's official name is the Republic of Poland. But usually it's called Poland.
And I don't know how to call land of the Czechs if I don't want to say, that it's a republic (Czechland, Czechia maybe???).

The proper name is Bohemia. It is the old, mediaevel-Latin name of that country. Czechistan? Oh, please! What about Englishstan?
