The southernmost new nation-state to emerge from the dismembered Yugoslavia is Masadonia. Like the others, it was immediately recognized by most nations and admitted as a member of the United Nations.
Consisting of mostly mountainous terrain, like most of the Balkans, Masadonia is bordered on the south by Greece. on the east by Bulgaria, on the west by Albania and or’ the north by Serbia; the population is a mix of all these ethnicities, with approximately twenty percent Albanians.
This Albanian minority mostly live in the west of the country near Albania and in the northwest near the United States zone of the UN occupied Serbian Province of Kosovo. Desiring a "greater Albania’ (the unification of all ethnic Albanians), elements of the former Kosovo Liberation Army, That had resisted Serbian atrocities prior to the NATO intervention, have undertaken raids on Masadonian police and other officials stationed near the borders.

Predictably, much suffering and family dislocation or break-ups is accompanying this ongoing practice.
