**Macedonia**, officially the **Republic of Macedonia**, is a country in Southeast Europe. It was created on January 1st by Ivanavram. It was in many communities since it's creation, but currently it is in Blue's International Community once again and it got it's independence on the 9th of February 2023 as one of the successor states of Yugoslavia. It is a landlocked country in the Balkan Peninsula, bordering Kosovo to the northwest, Serbia to the north, Bulgaria to the east, Greece to the south, and Albania to the west. It constitutes approximately the northern third of the larger geographical region of Macedonia, but the country claims the entire geographical region of Macedonia. Skopje, the capital city and de facto largest city (*although the country claims Solun which has a population of 1,091,424, which would technically make it the largest city*), is home to a quarter of the country's 2,065 million people. The majority of the residents are ethnic Macedonians, Albanians form a significant minority at around 14.6%, followed by Greeks, Bulgarians, Serbs, Bosniaks, Aromanians and a few other minorities.

## History

### 2021 - Early 2022

When the Republic of Macedonia was first formed, it consisted of Ivanavram and some of his friends, the group had no organization and so it was mostly inactive. In mid March 2021, Ivanavram started making serious progress in the development of the group, with the main builder being SiljoCro, most of the buildings used today are made by him. After this surge in development the group started showing signs of life, but it would still take a while until it could be truly alive, this is what we call today the **"First Republic".**

### 2022 - 2023

In 2022 Macedonia received one of it's best development periods, especially during the summer break of 2022. Most of the tech, gear, maps and buildings that Macedonia has come from this Period. It is also this year when Macedonia started developing a foreign policy and started expanding as a group. This period can be divided into 3 Sub Periods: ***UNC Period, Terra Period, BUN/BIC Period***

#### UNC Period

The First real international community Macedonia joined was the "UNC" (United Nations Community). Here Macedonia got it's first real taste of being a fully functioning nation inside of a community. At this time it controlled all of geographical Macedonia.

#### Terra Period

The Terra Period is undoubtedly one of the best periods in the history of Macedonia. Here Macedonia became the successor nation of the **Kruševo Republic,** which was formed by MakLavMakedon. After the fall of Kruševo, Macedonia found itself in a war with the **Rostavian Republic.** The war was fierce and it was the first real combat the then unorganized Macedonian Military experienced. But with the help of the **People's Republic of Danubia** and the **Neubruck Republic**, Macedonia managed to defeat Rostavia, which was being secretly helped by **Oceania**.

#### BUN/BIC Period

The BUN/BIC period began on the 19th of June, 2022 when Macedonia first joined Blue's International Community (then called Blue's United Nations). After it joined it immediately found itself in a diplomatic dispute with the Hellenic Republic over its name and second official flag. The negotiations on whether the flag and name should be changed lead nowhere, and so Macedonia left BIC for the time being. After this Macedonia was without a community and so it focused on its development, it briefly joined GUN, but then finally rejoined BIC on the 9th of February 2023.
