North Macedonia is an aeternitas of the history of european integration that will have influence on the future of Europe. The name given by the inhabitants is REPUBLIKA MAKEDONIJA with the official national language of Macedonian (belonging to the group of Slavic family) spoken by the citizens who today live in the parlamentary Republic of North Macedonia, together with the minorities of Albanians speaking Albanian.

North Macedonia is situated in southern Europe in the central side of the Balkans: it confines on North with Serbia, at West with Albania, on South with Greece and at East with Bulgaria. Its territory is mostly mountainous made of ripid high valleys sourrounding the Vardar river, that originates in the Sar chain and crosses the whole country before to erupt into Aegean Sea. In North Macedonia are present 3 great lakes on the borders: divided with Albania are the Lake Ohrid, one of most great and ancient of Europe and so rich of animal species to be enlisted in the UNESCO Wordl Heritage, whose tributary is a subterranean river coming from the others, the great Lake Prespa important world centre for biodiversity and the Doiran Lake on the edge with Greece. The climate is temperate hot and dried all year, with intense snowy precipitations and fresh summers.

The history of North Macedonia began with the settlements of Illyrians (as you can read in this article), who had been followed along the ancient times by the Albi Gens and the Ghegs tribes of Albanians. They were included in the Macedonian Kingdom ruled by the Argeadi dinasty (supposed to be descending from the greek hero Hercules), that in IV century B.C. conquered the whole Greece and leaded by Alexander "the great" defeated the Persian Empire. When he died, North Macedonia became part of the Diadochi Kingdom of Macedonia ruled from 334 B.C. by Antipatridi and Antigonidi dinasties until in 168 B.C. when Romans conquered the whole Greece.

Within the reform of Augustus (see Roman Empire), North Macedonia was included in the Macedonia province that with the reform of Constantine I (see Christian Empire) became part of the Macedonia diocesi. At the falling of Western Roman Empire, North Macedonia remained within the Byzantine Empire posessions, inserted into the Thessalonike theme as part of the Moesia diocesi until it was conquered by Bulgars in IX century A.D. and annexed to the Bulgarians Empire under Kzar Simeon I until 1018 A.D..

Once reconquested by the Byzantine Empire, North Macedonia was annexed to the Regnum Serbia in 1083 A.D. until the conquest of Turks (1371 A.D.): at the end of the 'Balcanic independence wars' it was included into the Kingdom of Serbs, Croatians and Slovenians ruled by the Karageorgevic dinasty and succeeding Kingdom and federal Republic of Yugoslavia. At the end of its dissolution process, North Macedonia got independent in 1993 A.D. as former jugoslavic Republic of Macedonia with capital in Skopje and as flag the "Virgo Star" used by Alexander. There has been a great diplomatic conflict with Greece about the name and the history of this new nation, so what's the difference between Macedonia and North Macedonia?
