Macedonia is regarded as being Great for a few reasons:

-Took down the Persian Empire
-Conquered half the known world; the most densely populated areas mainly
-Alexander's Empire helped spread Greek philosophy, culture, science etc... that inspired many people [civilizations], the most famous ones being the Russian Empire (?-Present day) and the Romans (Empire: 300BC roughly-1453 exactly).
-Alexander was the son of a God (suck on that Napoleon, and William The Conqueror) and he was one of the best, if not the best, strategist ever.

Hate to be off-topic but the British have the longest name, it's officially: The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. FYROM is number two.

NO NO NO NO NO!

They don't play under that name in The World Cup. So it doesn't count.

And in Eurovision they are called United Kingdom.

then i commend her grasp of modern english. You must have changed it if only to translate and untill you can produc the original source it is inadmissable.

When Alexander died a short time thereafter and left no sons as successors to the kingdom, the Athenians ventured to assert their LIBERTY (from Macedonia) and to claim the leadership of the Greeks. 18.9.1 - Didorus Siculus - ANICENT GREEK HISTORIAN

The comment on liberty proved nothing. You seem to fundamentally misunderstand the concept of liberty. The French revolution was fought for "liberty" and they fought themselves. Liberty in this context can be most easily translated to freedom (possibly adding" from oppression").

That damned elusive Liberty Bell.

Thor can be a real B**** some times. He's really got to take some anger management classes, those thunder bolts can do some damage.
 
In my personal Pantheon I have these gods:

-Zeus (Yes, I still believe in him)
-Apollo (FOR SPARTA!!!)
-Thor (Ever since I added him the whether has been weird and I've been terribly sick, the others don't like him)
-Mr. George (My Modern History teacher, I told him I'd add him to my Pantheon if he didn't change the class seating plan {I'm behind a hot girl and beside another}).
-Aphrodite
-God (I don't follow the second commandment)
-Hoodoo
-Milen
