Thanks for your work :-) Due to a naming dispute with Greece over the name "Macedonia", major organizations over the world refer to it as: "Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia" (abbreviated FYROM)

I know, I'm from Serbia :)

But, this is the issue in data source, not this project. Please refer to ICU or CLDR.
