History
Greater Macedon was founded in the year 1845 after the great Fracturing of Byzantium and the Wars with the Slavs. The King was notably a Half German, Half Greek man who was born in Athens and moved to Constantinople to found the New Capital. Several times did the King known as Mark the Great conquer lands not belonging to him. The First Place he expanded was towards the Middle east. The Warrior King made it his mission to take the rest of the Turkish Province under his control, and to control the Valuable Tigris and Euphrates rivers. In the year 1855, the success of the Campaign showed as the King stood on the ancient border between Syria and the Turkish Provence.

In the year 1866, Mark the Great died gallantly in battle against the Mediterranean Union. His Son, Stephen, took the Throne. Stephen had an extreme hatred of the Chimer and of the Slavs. He believed they were not, nor ever could be, True Macedonians. The Stephen Purges lasted until 1890. The Price was high as shown. Many were dead and the Czech Kingdom Decided to go to war to avenge and protect the remaining Slavs in the Nation

The Slavic-Macedon War and World War One
In the Year 1891, the Czech King declared war upon Macedon as he assembled an army to go off and conquer the remaining Slavic lands in the northern part of the empire. In a Series of Decisive Victories, the Czechs took Montenegro, Bosnia, and Herzegovina. They signed the Athens Accords on June 19th, 1893. Over One hundred thousand Macedonians were killed in the conflict.

The Macedonians decided to stay neutral when the First World War broke out, but were soon dragged in when the Austrian-Hungarians moved in the north of the Nation and attacked Bulgarian Province. For the First time, The Czech Kingdom and Greater Macedon formed together to beat back the Austrians. The Holy American Empire came and assisted, and at the wars end the land was devided up to everyone in the Wars. Macedon became a peaceful state under the next four rulers

Modern Day
The Modern Greater Macedon is a hub of Culture and religious studies. Although the Ruler is quite Conservative, he usually allows outsiders the rights to study in the Grand Libraries around the Nation. The Czechs and the Macedonians still do not get along and argue constantly over land along the borders. King Milkos II has announced his ambition to reclaim the lands lost by the Macedonian Empire in India and the Bakland Peninsula.

People
The Macedonian Human The Typical Macedonian Human is not well read. This person usually works as an unskilled laborer or a buisinessman. The Macedonians are quite fiercely loyal to the King and to the religion. Many show a Hate and Distaste to the Chimer and to the Slavic peoples, the Czechs in particular. Many fights stem from Ethnic Feelings.

The Macedonian Chimer Usually looked down upon, The Chimer live in walled communities closest to the Czech Kingdom. They are generally regarded as dirty Abominations to Gods eyes. Many practice Unitarian Universalism, and are usually insulted for that. The Macedonian Chimer travel to the Czechs regularly and also partake in local festives often.

Differing Opinions The Diversity of Macedon also means alot of disputes take place. For example, one town may have a Majority of Macedonian Greeks living in the Town, but the Next town may be filled with Slavs or Chimer. Many acts of violence from the squabbles plague the nation sadly. The King has attempted to reform the Constitution to try to halt these fights and to stop the oppression of the different minority groups by the majority. These have come up to seem to waste time and valuable service in the Government
