I agree, Jus put in Macedonia. Forget about the politics, and I don't
think people from the Macedonian region in Greece get confused by this
name, since its a country setting, not a region setting. 

For instance if you look at Luxemburg, I don't think that people who live
in the Belgium region 'Luxemburg'  get confused when they find that
there is also a country setting with that name in kcontrol. So there is
no need to specify that 'Luxemburg' is actually the country, not the
province in Belgium. I don't see why we should try to specify that
'Macedonia' in kcontrol is actually the country, not the region in Greece.
