## History

### Early Formation

The Orthodox Republic of Macedonia was started on the 1st July 2023 in a revolution, the Macedonian Liberation War, started by AquariusMallard against the Selucid Empire. A treaty was signed, the Treaty of Thessaloniki, on the 2nd. On the 3rd, they revealed the F-71 Turdus, the C-149 Mobula, MQ-31 Remora, and the F-26 Delphinus. On the same day, they recovered Radion-class battleship (and improved it the next day to create the Cascadia-class super-battleship) and Meilynx-class PT boat blueprints in conjunction with the New Republic of North America. They declared war on the Selucid Empire the next day (breaching the embargo period in the Treaty of Thessaloniki), the war ending on the 5th of July.

### Start of an Empire

On the 5th of July, Macedonia annexed Pakistan, creating Pakistani Macedonia. They also repurposed the Adriatic Seamoth-class submarine and Cyclops-class submarine. On the 6th of July, they celebreated Ailurus Day (the birthday of AquariusMallard's irl sister). and unveiled the HQ-74 Triakis helicopter. They also bought the Afghanistani Wakhan Corridor from the Iranian-Russo Commonwealth and created the Cretean NIZ. On the 8th, Macedonia bought the East Thrace from Iran after a short territorial dispute with Blackwood.

## Geography

Macedonia is sea to the south, and mountains to the north. It is bordered by the Democratic state of Blackwood

## Politics

Macedonia is a semi-democratic republic. The country is ruled by a monarch-type leader called the Царот/Carot (Emperor). Then, there are three First Ministers directly elected by the public. Then, there are Second Ministers which govern regions, and Third Ministers who govern constituencies. Macedonia uses an alternative vote (AV) system, sometimes called direct runoff voting.

## Military

Macedonia is working on a strong navy, designed to take on the Potato Union and United Kingdom in paticular, the former being the controller of the Strait of Gibraltar and the Suez Canal, and the latter being the strongest naval power in the world at that time. It also has a strong air force, spearheaded by the F-26.

## Economy

Macedonia has a thriving capitalist economy. It primarily uses the Macedonian Drachmae (MDM) and the Macedonian Dinar (MKD), but also uses the World Pi, First Cascadian Zollar, and Euro. The Macedonian Drachmae uses a 10>1 system instead of an 100>1 (10 lepton is 1 drachma). It therefore matches the World Pi at a rate of 0.1>1.

## Anthem

Macedonia's anthem is Денес над Македонија (Today, over Macedonia), describing how Macedonia is free country with its own rights (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CU9coU4CiC4&ab\_channel=Ingen). The anthem was formerly Μην παραχαράζετε (Don't Misrepresent), describing how Macedonia is Greek, rather than part of the Selucid Empire (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LP4ZQaLrutE&ab\_channel=Ingen)
