Wikipedia sandbox about a fictionalized version of Czechoslovakia, really just made out of boredom and daydreaming. I have no idea what to fill this part of the article with so enjoy the filling text.

In this timeline, the communist regime in Czechoslovakia was overthrown in mid 1970s and was replaced by a different authoritarian government, starting the regime of new Supreme Leader. The first leader resigned in 2008 to leave the post for his daughter, who overtook leadership of Czechoslovakia the same year. Might not be realistic, but who cares. Still heavily work in progress.

This page revolves around the equipment of Czechoslovakia's army.
