The homeland of the Monkeydonians will forever be known as FYROM to me.

The greatest irony is that when the Byzantine Empire was trying to reconquer what is now Bulgaria they created a military governing region in Northern Greece called “Macedonia.” It did not actually incorporate Macedonia because at the time this was where the Bulgarians lived.
Apparently this was not seen as an issue to anyone.
