Hope I’ve helped.
(Do not confuse the ancient Greek kingdom of Macedonia or Macedon (which was the birth place of Alexander and it is also known as authentic Macedonia of Greece) with a modern Balkan state that uses the name Macedonia. The confusion has started a few years ago because that small state started to use the name “Republic of Macedonia” causing a great confusion with real Macedonia in Greece.}

This is for Capricious.
Sorry but you are deeply mistaken..
The international community does NOT recognise the country that you refer to as Macedonia but rather it is recognised as FYROM.
This is because that name that this NEW BORN country chose to call itself (and it is officially called like that only by itself and another 2-3 countries on the planet) clashes with a name that was already been taken by somebody else, a few thousant years back!!
This is like creating a country in the north pole and calling it Inca! And then try to claim that incas lived on the north pole. This is hilarious!!

The Macedonia of popular thought and the Macedonia of ancient Greece are different geographical regions, (Greece-Iraq) although with Alexander's conquest of both regions it becomes a moot point.

what is the matter with you people!
do you have to twist every ******* question about Macedonia and turn it into a ******* argument about weather it's a region or a real country..!
people want real answers, not to listen to your miss understood quarrels.....
anyway for the Greek people...
Macedonia is internationally known as a country....no matter what you say, or believe that will remain a fact
PS

If Alexander doesn't fit, then it could be Antigonus or Amyntas
