Usage of nation names as teams
<p>Can I use Country's names in my online championship game to allow players to recruit themselves in for their favourite/geographical nation and play against other nations?</p>

<p>Cases:</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Is it legal to schedule a match between say, <strong>Czech Republic V Kazakhstan</strong> <strong>at 13:00 GST</strong> where players play as teams against each other.</p></li>
<li><p>Is it legal to create a olympic style leaderboard where the medals per country will be counted and displayed.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>It is up to each and every state to set the protection of their national symbols. But even if they do, enforcing this protection can be very complicated against non-citizens in foreign country. Basically, country like Kazakhstan can enact a law that prevents you from using their name, but if you do, there is nothing they can do to stop you.)</p>

<p>There are some special cases, like, if you pretend to be an embassy, but this is not your case.</p>

<p>As far as I am concerned, there is no law in the Czech republic regulating the use of the word "czech".</p>
