Czechia instead the Czech Republic

Hello, could you rename the Czech Republic to Czechia. It is "new" official name of our country. Also at Google Maps we are Czechia.

Thanks

All the names are collected here:

On default map we render "name" tag (currently it's "Česko") and it's up to Czech community to choose which one should it be.
