Nathan, i'm no geographer, but what about this?

"North Macedonia[c] (Macedonia before 2019), officially the Republic of North Macedonia,[d] is a country in Southeast Europe. It gained independence in 1991 as one of the successor states of Yugoslavia." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Macedonia

i'll wager the question was written prior to 2019. if this is correct, the quiz answer can be fixed by adding the word "North" in front of Macedonia.

dont be confused.it is different the MACEDONIA that is actually agreek territory and different the REPUBLIC OF NORTH MACEDONIA also known as FYROM.defferent language,diffrent culture and definately FYROM has nothing to do with greece and greek history.Fyrom is ex Yugoslavia territory that declared its independence from Yugoslavia in January 2002.it is completly different things.the correct answer since we are talking about COUNTRIES and not TERRITORIES should be REPUBLIC OF NORTH MACEDONIA or FYROM.playing with the history and culture of one country inthis case greece is a very sensitive thing.the question should either removed completly or correct which as i have seen the same correction was noted before but nothing has beeen done

you can cut the irony and educate yourself first before you speak.Albania is albania.official name is not MACEDONIA but REPUBLIC OF NORTH MACEDONIA.there was been a dispute about the name with greece for years.there is not a country named macedonia but republic of north macedonia THIS IS THE OFFICIAL NAME.and since as you said you are not a geographer but at least you have to know the names of the countries before you speak or at least read the news

Macedonia (/ˌmæsɪˈdoʊniə/ (listen); Greek: Μακεδονία, romanized: Makedonía [maceðoˈni.a] (listen)) is a geographic and former administrative region of Greece, in the southern Balkans. Macedonia is the largest and second-most-populous Greek geographic region, with a population of 2.36 million in 2020. It is highly mountainous, with most major urban centres such as Thessaloniki and Kavala being concentrated on its southern coastline. Together with Thrace, and sometimes also Thessaly and Epirus, it is part of Northern Greece. Greek Macedonia encompasses entirely the southern part of the wider region of Macedonia,[5] making up 51% of the total area of that region. Additionally, it forms part of Greece's borders with three countries: Bulgaria to the northeast, North Macedonia to the north, and Albania to the northwest.

wow, you take this really personally. whatever, it's not worth arguing. i didn't write the question, but i've already explained my suspicions regarding the name change. Serbia, Bulgaria, and Albania are all also officially republics if we're using full names.

as a greek yes this is a sensitive subject.but lets clarify something about this subjsect for educational reasons.According to Prespa agreement the rebuplic of north macedonia cannot use the name macedonia and her official name is republic of north macedonia as signed on June 2018
The use of the country name "Macedonia" was disputed between Greece and the Republic of North Macedonia between 1991 and 2019. The dispute was a source of instability in the Western Balkans for 25 years. It was resolved through negotiations between Athens and Skopje, mediated by the United Nations, resulting in the Prespa agreement, which was signed on 17 June 2018. The result in the Republic of Macedonia being renamed the Republic of North Macedonia with the new name being used for ALL purposes (erga omnes), that is, domestically, in all bilateral relations and in all regional and international organizations and institutions
