Macedonia is a South-Eastern European country with
a population of over two million. The completely
landlocked nation borders on Greece, Bulgaria,
Serbia, Kosovo, and Albania.
For some years after its independence in the early
nineties, the country was officially known as the
Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, which did
sound unusual as a country name. For legal reasons
back then, that name had to be chosen, since there
was a conflict with Greece: That nation has a
region also known as Macedonia, and the Greeks
were reluctant to recognize the existence of an
independent state by that very same name.
