What if Czechoslovakia never seperated?

Sometimes an inquisitor doesnt really consider how a question will be received until its already half-posed.

As it turns out, the potentially troubling hypothetical was met almost universally with a twinkle.

Ryan Dixon takes a closer look at what could have been.
