Macedonia is a province on the northern Greek peninsula that coincides with the ancient Greek kingdom of Macedonia.
FYROM has nothing to do with Macedonia. FYROM is a country that was ancient Paeonia/Dardia that was occupied by Slav tribes that invaded in the 6th century AD.
FYROM is actually a pseudo-country and they rename it to Macedonia in order to make claims on the historical Macedonia of Greece.
Regarding the Former Yugoslav Republic, north of the historical Macedonia
If you named a lion a duck would the lion magically become a duck? Would someone changing their name to Elon Musk magically become the rightful owner of Elon Musk's achievements, property and wealth? Would Slovenia renaming itself the Republic of Venice become historical Venice and the Slovenians "ethnic" Venetians? Of course not.
Macedonia as a region
There is no such thing as a "Greater Macedonia" and a "Macedonia Region" and in particular one that was divided. This is Propaganda by the Former Yugoslav Republic whose aim is to distort historical reality and create a false narrative to all those readers not familiar with Balkan history.
The illusion is that before the Balkan wars (1912-13) a sovereign state entity with the name Macedonia existed, inhabited by an alleged "Macedonian" ethnicity, that was attacked, defeated and consequently partitioned by the allied Greeks, Serbs and Bulgarians.
However, the three areas which comprise this imaginary unity, that is, modern FYROM (Vardar), Greek (Aegean) and Bulgarian (Pirin) Macedonia has never constituted an ethnological, historical, cultural and linguistic united territory. Even the name Macedonia itself (expanded as an administrative unit while under foreign occupation) was not applied to the whole area (especially the greater part of today´s FYROM that lies north of the Prilep-Strumica line).
Therefore, the terms Vardar Macedonia, Macedonia of Pirin and Aegean Macedonia used by the citizens of the FYROM were tricks by the former Yugoslavia to serve effectively its aggressive and political purposes.
The ancient Greek kingdom of Macedonia was a Hellenic (Greek) kingdom on the northern Greek peninsula.
Freed from foreign Ottoman occupation in 1912, the modern Greek province of Macedonia is a Hellenic (Greek) province still on the northern Greek peninsula.
FYRO"M"'s Name Violation
The interim accord was signed under the auspices of the United Nations, obligating the Republic of Former Yugoslavia to choose for itself a name that does not violate Greece's right to identify by its historical identity and that does not imply a territorial expansionist agenda on Greece's historical northern province.
Instead of honoring its agreements, the former Yugoslav Republic continues to violate the interim accord and Article 2 of the UNESCO Declaration on Cultural Diversity, relentlessly creating propaganda, distorting the history and historical perception of Greece and continues to meddle in Greece's domestic affairs.
The Former Yugoslav Republic constantly makes territorial provocations on Greece's historical northern province and continues on unimpeded with its expansionist agenda to change people's perceptions and validate a lie.
Greece is in economic crisis at the moment but it is not a poor country by a long shot.
Yugoslavia
Ivory Coast is a very poor country.
poor
There are poor people in pretty much every country. Some countries develop extensive welfare programs to fend for the poor, while other countries leave the poor to themselves.
Lies, lies... It is not a poor country, Chad is a petroleum country and member of (OPEP) it's far from been a poor country. And oh yeah it's one of the 10 fastest growing economies countries in the world. Google it for more details
Well,not really.most people are middle class but some are poor
Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia
Well it all depends on what are you comparing it to? Compared to western countries the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia is quite poor. It used to be the poorest part of Former Yugoslavia. Salaries are higher in the capital Skopje about 500-600 euros/month and much lower in the rest of the country about 250 euros/month.
Historical Macedonia is a province on the northern Greek peninsula. The unrelated Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia is a newly founded country.
Athens, in Greece, is the city just south of the country of Macedonia and the country of Albania.
When people pay taxes, but not many do. That's why its such a poor country. Most people are farmers, or have there own businesses. But they open them illegally, therefore they make money for themselves. Not for macedonia.
