    North Macedonia[  (before 2019, Macedonia), officially the Republic of North Macedonia, is a

    country in the Balkan Peninsula in Southeast Europe. It gained its independence in 1991 as one of


    the successor states of Yugoslavia. A landlocked country, North Macedonia has borders
    with Kosovo[e] to the northwest, Serbia to the northeast, Bulgaria to the east, Greece to the south,
    and Albania to the west. It constitutes approximately the northern third of the larger
    geographical region of Macedonia. The capital and largest city, Skopje, is home to roughly a quarter
    of the country's 2.06 million inhabitants. The majority of the residents are ethnic Macedonians,
    a South Slavic people. Albanians form a significant minority at around 25%, followed
    by Turks, Romani, Serbs, Bosniaks, and Aromanians.
    The history of the region dates back to antiquity, beginning with the kingdom of Paeonia, presumably
    a mixed Thraco-Illyrian polity.[9] In the late sixth century BC, the area was incorporated into
    the Persian Achaemenid Empire, then annexed by the kingdom of Macedonia in the fourth century
    BC. The Romans conquered the region in the second century BC and made it part of the much
    larger province of Macedonia. The area remained part of the Byzantine Empire, but was often raided
    and settled by Slavic tribes beginning in the sixth century of the Christian era. Following centuries of
    contention between the Bulgarian, Byzantine, and Serbian Empire, it was part of
    the Ottoman dominion from the mid-14th until the early 20th century, when, following the Balkan
    Wars of 1912 and 1913, the modern territory of North Macedonia came under Serbian rule.
    During the First World War (1915–1918), it was ruled by Bulgaria, but after the end of the war it
    returned to being under Serbian rule as part of the newly formed Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and
    Slovenes. Later, during the Second World War (1941–1944), it was ruled by Bulgaria again, and in
    1945 it was established as a constituent state of communist Yugoslavia, which it remained until its
    peaceful secession in 1991. The country became a member of the United Nations in April 1993, but
    as a result of a dispute with Greece over the name "Macedonia", it was admitted under the
    provisional description the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia [f] (abbreviated as FYR
    Macedonia and FYROM). In June 2018, Macedonia and Greece resolved the dispute with an
    agreement that the country should rename itself "Republic of North Macedonia". This renaming
    came into effect in February 2019.
    A unitary parliamentary constitutional republic, North Macedonia is a member of the
    UN, NATO, Council of Europe, World Bank, OSCE, CEFTA, and the WTO. Since 2005, it has also
    been a candidate for joining the European Union. North Macedonia is an upper-middle-income
    country[12] and has undergone considerable economic reform since independence in developing
    an open economy. North Macedonia is a developing country, ranking 82nd on the Human
    Development Index, and provides a social security, universal health care system, and free primary
    and secondary education to its citizens.
