What is this Slovak betrayal you're talking about? What did they do? I've just taken a real interest in Czechoslovakian history.
What sounds better: Czechia or Bohemia?

In fact I was very diplomatic but I have to admit that some Slovaks should use another word.I'd love to have a Slovak explain it. I feel he/she would have very different words than betrayal

They arranged Hitlers puppet and split from rest (Munich agreement) of Czechoslovakia.

Oh. I thought it was the western part that gave in to Hitler? Because of the German population the Sudetenland?
Munich agreement - agreement about giving sudetenland
After some months Slovakia split from the rest of Czechoslovakia. Bohemia and Moravia was occupied by Germans. Slovakia was German ally and later participated in WW2. It was something like Vichy France but with loyalty and participation in holocaust and war.

OK here is some Slovak explanation (you asked for it )
about "BETRAYAL":
on 13. march Hitler called Tiso (ex-PM of slovak autonomous governement deposed by czech military intervention) into Berlin and told him that he wants and will annex Czech lands but isnt really interested in Slovakia. He gave Tiso 2 possibilities: 1. He will procaim "independent" Slovak state and Germany will guarantee its independence or 2. Hitler will let Hungary and Poland to split slovak territory between themselves.
14.3.1939 Slovak assembly proclaimed "independent" Slovak state
15.3.1939 German troops marched into Czech lands and created Protektorat Bohmen und Mahren. GB and France just watched sillently.
As you can see, from slovak (well to be precise from mine
) point of view it was just rescueing from a sinking ship...into rotten and repulsive ship called Fashist Slovak state, but there just werent other possibilities (and no, being occupated by Hungary and Poland isnt IMO better possibility)
Its very difficult toppic and i put it here very short because Im allready OT, but if anybody interested we still have history forum
Back to the topic: Im for Czechomoravia - it has the cool sound of Czechoslovakia+you have Morava included (I know Silesia is missing, but who cares
)
P.S. Sorry if its pain to read, but here its midnight

In my humble opinion, Bohemia sounds much, much nicer than Czechia. I don't like the name Czechia, but Bohemia.... Well I might be a little biased, as boem means something very poetic in my language, taken from the French "Boheme"...
Which sounds better, Romania or Wallachia?

Neither. Cumania.Which sounds better, Romania or Wallachia?
I think a better analogy would be Greece-Macedonia...

Then find me a proper name for China...... 
Greece-Macedonia would create problems
Attica-Macedonia-Epirus-Thrace-Achaia-Sparta-Elis-Chalkis-Crete etc would be better
You're forgetting a Morea in there.
More Morea? I gave it three different provinces
Bah! If you're going to have more than one name for Greece, then include Morea so you can have part byzantine heritage!
Pokurcz
Emperor
Czechystan!
