FORMER YUGOSLAV REPUBLIC OF MACEDONIA




This country became independent in 1991. The capital is Skopje, and the population, is about two million people and it´s a Republic with twenty five thousand square kilometers of area. The currency is the denar.
The President, Gjorge Ivanov, has limited powers, and he´s elected for a five year term. The parliament has one hundred members.
Macedonia is a candidate for the European Union.

The country has mineral resources including iron, lead and zinc. Textiles represent the most significant sector.
The local cuisine includes specialities such as caraway pork with cabbage.

The people who live in Macedonia are the Macedonians, and they speak Macedonian.

I wouldn't like to be a Macedonian, because I prefer a larger country, with more interesting things.
