North Macedonia
A landlocked country in the Balkans that became independent from Yugoslavia in 1991 and changed its name from the Republic of Macedonia in 2019 after settling a naming dispute with Greece. Its capital is Skopje.
The Republic of Macedonia (1991) was a Slavic nation unrelated to Alexander the Great's kingdom but used the same name. Greece opposed this for 28 years as appropriation. In 2019, it renamed itself "North Macedonia" in exchange for NATO membership.
