First an explanation. Macedonia is
a part of former Yugoslavia but we can't call them Macedonia
because part of Greece is also Macedonia, so it's called
the Former Yugoslav Republic Of Macedonia. On one infamous
occasion a Cypriot spokesman dishing out votes had the nerve to
call them FYROM, which got the booing it deserved.
Their first three entries produced rather mediocre results,
however the expansion of the voting to all countries including
non-finalists has conspicuously helped them qualify from each
semi-final, with heaps of votes from their ex-pats and ex-Yugo
colleagues but the lack of wider appeal has then prevented them
advancing higher than mid-table.
