Density is where area and population interact, and it often reverses the impression the headline figures give — a large country with a small population can feel emptier than a small crowded one by an enormous margin. ## Practical differences - Different currencies: the Czech koruna and the Euro. ## Czechia Landlocked and ringed by low mountains, so almost every river flows outward — the Elbe to the North Sea, the Oder to the Baltic, the Morava to the Black Sea. Czechia drinks more beer per head than any other country, and Pilsner Urquell in 1842 was the first pale lager. ## Germany Germany borders nine countries, more than any other in Europe. The Rhine carries more freight than any other river in Europe. The country has around 25,000 castles and palaces, and the Black Forest and Bavarian Alps mean about a third of it is wooded. > Neutral facts only. Nothing here addresses politics, government, economics or which country is preferable in any respect — population is the one figure that dates, and it carries its year. ## Common questions ### Is Czechia bigger than Germany?
