Birthplace of Alexander, and Core of his Great Empire. However, the once mighty empire is now a landlocked country. Still, what a junture of cultures, Slavic, Roma, Albanian and Turkish.

It would be a great jumping off point for all things Europe, and Mediterranean. Even for former parts of the USSR, and the Middle east as well. The kids would certainly have the chance to be multilingual citizens of the world.

Marijuana law, though, is still a bit dicey, moving in right direction, but dicey. They have Medical marijuana, but decriminization, and just what exactly is an acceptable amount for personal use, is still up in the air. Worse, it isn’t uniform across the country, so, It is alot like things here in the US. So kind of a wash. Maybe things will become clearer by the time we are ready to go..

The education system, seems good, being somewhat of a holdover from the old Yugoslavian system. It, in turn, was in all liklihood modeled on a Soviet System. That isn’t a bad thing, i assure you. I know my talents and abilities would have benefited gratly from a soviet style education system, so I am not afraid of it for my kids. Beats the “Long Live Mediocrity!” US system.

As for healthcare, like most of Europe, it is Universal. There is the option to purchase private insurance on top of the State system. However, not too many Macedonians do, as they can’t afford it. So Universal Healthcare, but not top grade, just a good grade.

So Macedonia probably doesn’t make the cut, they could have improvements, but economics willplay a role as well, at the next level of research, and I don’t see that helping Macedonia’s cause.
