Historical Facts: What is Macedonia/North Macedonia?

     If you're like me and know history from the ancient world to the present, the term "Macedonia" might sound confusing to you. That's because Macedonia is a region once contested by foreign powers, yet is now also a country. If you don't know what Macedonia (or now, North Macedonia) even is, don't worry. Today, we'll talk about what it is.      If you studied history chronologically, you probably first heard the term "Macedonia" when you studied Alexander the Great. His empire controlled a significant part of Europe and Asia, with its capital at the ancient city of Babylon. However, in 323 BCE, Alexander died, and his empire was split. The Balkan part of the empire became known as the Macedonian dynasty.      Starting in around 170 BCE, the Roman Empire conquered Macedonia. For several years, it was under Roman rule. However, the Ottoman Empire conquered Macedonia towards the end of the Middle Ages.       Macedonia woul...

History of Enotita

       Okay, this will be a long one. This is the entire history of Enotita. While the nation has only existed for around 110 days, it has a very complicated history that is half-joke, half-real. So this is the history of Enotita.      Now, to be clear, Enotita was not the first nation I ruled. Even a few days after I proclaimed Enotita, I was the king of Triberia, which was a nation contesting Liberland, another micronation in the same land. The territory, however, was so far away from the Philippines. It was located on the Danube River, but not claimed by Croatia or Serbia. So I decided to abandon Triberia. I didn't really get an heir to continue leadership in the former Triberia, as Liberland was already in control.      November 26, 2023 was a historic day. That was the day that Enotita was proclaimed in my bedroom. It wasn't really an organized state at that time. I knew my dad and I would rule, but I wasn't sure about how we w...

Mario's Empire - Part 1

     Sorry for delaying "Mario's Empire!" Well, welcome to the series, even though I'm late. This is a good mix of my previous gaming blog and this history blog. If you haven't seen my trailer on the series, please click here . With that out of the way, let's go!     Mario was 7 years old in 1994 when he founded Super Mario Bros. Plumbing (SMBP) with his brother, Luigi. They used an abandoned house across their home as their base. He was only available during summer, as he still went to school. He only got around 7 customers per day, but none knew what he was about to do with the nation of Italy.      When he turned 23, Mario disbanded SMBP to join a professional plumbing company. At this point, he already had an interest in world history, especially the Roman Empire. But he was just a worker living in Rome.      However, in 2016, he was given an address that sounded familiar. It was the Italian parliament. It was there that he real...
