Why don't YOU go slavia?

Speaking to my driver (“my driver” for 20 minutes, anyway) on the way home from the airport, I found that he was Macedonian, or, more politically correctly (assuming the UN is correct politically), he was from the "Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia". This got us talking about the disputes between the Greeks and the...people from the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia...about who is allowed to use the name of “Macedonia”.


So I’ve got an idea: How about one gets the name “Macedonia”, and the other gets “Macedon’tia”?


UN, here I come.
