"If it were not confusing, it would not have been Macedonia"[1]
The contemporary geographical region of Macedonia is not officially defined by any international organisation or state. In some contexts it appears to span five states: Albania, Bulgaria, Greece, the Republic of Macedonia, and Serbia.

    Ancient kingdom: Before expansion to conquer the whole known world.
    Roman rule: Approximate borders of maximum extent.
    Byzantine rule: Approximate borders excluded Thessaloniki.
 -  Ottoman rule: Absent from administrative scheme.

    Present day: Country borders.
    Contemporary region: "Defies definition"[2]
