Macedonia

Based on France 1993

Locals humble, not ones to brag
But scream and lose their rag
When their artists drop the flag
Macedonia

Most people fly into Skopje
Plenty to do (unless you’re gay)
Macedonia

Formed on the banks of the Vardar
Paying by cash? Use the dinar
Macedonia

Takes just a day to drive right through
Lake Prespa offers pleasant views
Think this sounds lovely? There are flaws

Macedonia
“The former Yugoslav Republic”, Greeks say
Macedonia
And home to an Albanian minority
Macedonia
It borders a state that’s not recognised by Spain
Macedonia
When Tito died they left without force, but didn’t do great

Honestly Bitola’s quite bland
Small town surrounded by farmland
Macedonia

Arrival by land underwhelms
Tetovo bus halt - gate to hell
Macedonia

Had a bad start to ESC
26th place with Samo Ti
Macedonia

Cultural sights considered dross
“Ohrid Lake? Couldn’t give a toss!”
So say informed folks in Kos

Macedonia
The toilets at Sveti Naum border post stink
Macedonia
And emblems deemed to be offensively Hellenistic
Macedonia
Some folks insist they are Bulgarian (in Plovdiv)
Macedonia
No sea access – they’re landlocked of course. A naval lightweight

Rebrand should be sought
Why not start with ‘North’?
