Greece and Macedonia reached an agreement Tuesday to
end a bitter 27-year name dispute that had kept the smaller and younger
country out of international institutions such as NATO, the two
countries’ prime ministers announced.

Greece’s
Alexis Tsipras and Macedonia’s Zoran Zaev said the former Yugoslav
republic’s new name for both domestic and international purposes would
be Republic of Northern Macedonia. Macedonia will also amend its
constitution to reflect the change as part of the deal.

The
nationality of the country’s citizens will be listed on official
documents as “Macedonian/citizen of the Republic of Macedonia.”

Greece
had long demanded that its northern neighbor change or modify its name
to avoid any claim to the territory and ancient heritage of the region
in northern Greece named Macedonia — birthplace of ancient warrior king
Alexander the Great.

Peace reigns!

Republic of Northern Macedonia?? I mean sure, better than “Mountain Greeks”, but seems to open up the rest of “Southern Macedonia” for conquest.

Ќе дојде нашиот ден!!!

I’ve got one of those “pawn shop” cheesy history channel shows playing in the background while I work on some stuff and one of the guys came across a human sized statue of a frog in a royal guard outfit and is freaking the fuck out over it. I’ve never heard a man so happy to see a frog

UPDATE: He bought it for almost 400 dollars

UPDATE 2: upon taking it out he realized it had a plug attached to it and got super psyched to plug it in and see what it does and it just…… does jackshit for like fifteen seconds and there’s dead silence before its VERY SLOWLY opening its mouth and letting out the saddest, shittiest slowed down croak I have ever head in my life and just….. he loves it. His face is lit up like a child on christmas morning. I’ve found purity in the most unexpected place
