What should Macedonia (FYROM) be called?

« on: February 28, 2018, 03:54:15 AM »

Macedonia has officially presented four compromise solutions to the country's naming dispute. These are Republic of North Macedonia, Republic of Upper Macedonia, Republic of Vardar Macedonia and Republic of Macedonia (Skopje). (Guardian)

The ongoing dispute with Greece has prevented the country from joining NATO, and its resolution is required in order for the country to have a shot at EU membership.

Land of the Trolls

The trolling is well evident in the various monuments to Alexander the Great and Philip II in the country. Now they've toned it down a bit though, with the Skopje airport no longer called "Alexander the Great Airport".

This map shows East Roman (Byzantine) provinces around the time of Justinian I. FYROM roughly corresponds to "Macedonia II" so I don't know what's the big problem with calling the country "North Macedonia".
