What do you call the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia?

Macedonia

If I'd live there I'd kind of like "Skopje Republic" though. I like pretentious names like that. My favorite is Uruguay (of which the official name is "The Oriental Republic of Uruguay" meaning "The Republic to the east of the Uruguay River. Meaning officially the republic is basically nameless.)

But I'd never say FYROM unless I'd also be referring to Greece as Lewis put it. I wonder if anyone in Macedonia does refer to Greece that way.

It's kind of like if Missouri demanded Kansas change it name because of Kansas City.

LMAO@eRepublik right now. They've announced the introduction of new countries on the 6th (the day after the presidential elections for all current countries), including the Republic of Macedonia. Spelled that way. Well all the Greeks are outraged and many are threatening a massive walkout of eRepublik unless the name is changed. There's a news item with a couple hundred comments, most of which are just Greeks with anti-Macedonia avatars now spamming "MACEDONIA IS GREECE AND ONLY GREECE!"

I'm considering moving to Macedonia just so I can fight against the inevitable war of Greek aggression that will soon happen. Wishing I had moved to Serbia, they just kicked Croatia's ass.
