I agree totally, and in fact, in a recent post, I stated that if the name of the state should be anything other than Republic of Macedonia, it should be simply Macedonia.
In the name of the blood and the sun, the dagger and the gun, Christ protect this soldier, a lion and a Macedonian.
Risto, What about Macedonian Republic or Makedonska Republika?
МАКЕДОНЕЦ си кога кавал ќе ти ја распара душата,зурла ќе ти го раскине срцето,кога секое влакно од кожата ќе ти се наежи кога ќе видиш шеснаесеткрако сонце,кога до коска ќе те заболи кога ќе слушнеш ПЈРМ,кога немаш ни за леб,а полн си во душата затоа што ја сакаш МАКЕДОНИЈА. МАКЕДОНИЈА во срце те носиме.
If I was drafting the Constitution of a Macedonian state (we currently don't have a Macedonian state, but a vassal state that is a bizarre federation of politically privileged Albanians and other citizens of the Republic of Macedonia), I would choose the name Macedonian Republic (I am a strong believer in republican constitutional principles). But I wouldn't negotiate or change anything in the constitution under pressure from a hostile foreign country.
All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident. Arthur Schopenhauer
I insist the "Republic of Macedonia" should change its name to "Macedonia".
How is that for a novel idea?
Does have a nice ring to it

The last suggestion comming from the State Department was " State of Macedonia", what do you think?
Is there any difference between Republic and State in front of the name?
The Greeks will not like that either.
It does sound good, but Republic sounds more correct.
I have never heard of a country reffering to its self as a state except the United States of America, and they are not soverign states on their own.
I insist the "Republic of Macedonia" should change its name to "Macedonia".

This should have been our only choice in the first palce.
I have a suggestion to make as well, what about "The Kingdom of Macedonia", we could import one of those Bavarian Princes which are quite numerous, so to give our Kingdom a Monarch from one of Europe's finest Royal Houses.
