so this map is part of a bigger project (as you can see in the second slide). I take the original borders of todays countries and convert them to fantasy maps. But as I am not from the Czech Republic, I need your help with the details:
* the names: as I don’t speak czech most of the names are probably aweful… I used Google Translate to try and make some puns, but you can probably come up with better ones
* Landmarks: especially the area around Prague still feels a bit empty… any landmarks I missed? any ideas how I could transform the landscape? Swamps, deserts and the like?
* Memes: any memes about certain areas of Czechia? For example in the Netherlands the city of Urk is apparently very similar to Mordor… any stereotypes that would fit the map? e.g.: there being a gaping hole in the east or sth of the like?
* Legends & Folklore: any local folklore that would make some regions more lively? For example I added a giant in the *Krkonoše*.
Thank you in advance!
Disclaimer: I did not paint this! I used a map making tool that I will not name here since it says “no advertising” and I wanna keep to that. If you’re interested in the tool or in the project as a whole you can just visit my profile or DM me

I would rename Bryes to Díra. Thank me later.
Město Chmele makes no sense, as hops are not grown down there, and if it was a reference to Budvar, it is rather weak, as city of Pilsen (Opilost) is the actual beer city. So name like Pivojovice (Pivníky, Pivosaje, or even Škodovo if you are i to engineering) fits better than Opilost.
For Město Chmele name like Budevíce or Přemyslo, or even Cimrmany or Švejky is a better pun.
Tvarůžek would be better as Syrečky
Not sure what Hora říše or Stříbrné Jablko was supposed to be.

Hey everyone,
so this map is part of a bigger project (as you can see in the second slide). I take the original borders of todays countries and convert them to fantasy maps. But as I am not from the Czech Republic, I need your help with the details:
