Macedonia

Macedonia was part of former Yugoslavia which was a Communist Dictatorship but is now a Parliamentary Democracy. Macedonia has a United Nations history of far too many wars, the latest being a Civil War in 1991 which happened because the ethnic Albanians didn’t like the Macedonian majority. The war ended when the United Nations imposed peace and imposed a solution giving the Albanians autonomy. As with most former Communist countries the Macedonian economy is growing steadily but the country is still poor. Macedonia has applied to join the European Union.
