Yugoslavia
There's no such thing any more (legally, politically, physically, nor any other way).
Rather use Serbia & Montenegro as an option in that drop-down menu. |

You're wrong. The successors of Tito's party are the SPS (achieving app. 6% in the recent elections). |

Whoa, what a mess of parties ... So radicals are SRS and their socialist allies are SDS. Now I start to figure it out... |

Just a few lines more...
The "bad ones":
SRS = Srpska Radikalna Stranka (Serbian Radical Party)
Ultra-nationalist far-right, their leader is the infamous Vojislav Seselj, currently spending quality-time in a comfy jail in Hague. Took a very active part in ethnic cleansing during the war. They have a close connection with Le Pen's National Front. Like for every far-right party, mostly uneducated working class vote for them.
SPS = Socijalisticka Partija Srbije (Socialist Party of Serbia)
Based on the League of Serbian Communists, formed by Slobodan Milosevic, gouverned the country during and after the war together with SRS and JUL. A bunch of nationalist idiots, hence the coalition. SPS's voter-base is mostly assembled from old people nostalgic about the good old communist regime (they're slowly dying out, though) plus uneducated peasants from the middle and the south of the country.
(JUL = Jugoslovenska Levica (Yugoslavian Left)
An extremist red party of Milosevic's Wife, Mirjana Markovic. A small laughing stock that doesn't exist any more. They were in close connection with China's, Korea's and Cuba's communist parties.)
The "good ones":
Currently, all other parties (DS, DSS, LDP...) are mostly democratic right, liberals or ethnic democratic parties (Hungarians, Romas...), but basically European-oriented. So Serbian people actually choose democratic gouverment, only the votes were spreaded to 5-6 parties. Still, it's their coalition that will form the gouverment in this period, whilst SRS and SPS will stay in opposition with around 40%.
OK, I'm really fullfilled with it so this was my last post about the political situation in Serbia, for more info you should visit http://www.b92.net/eng/

Interesting... in few words a far-right party supported a left-far party and their leader to take power (Milosevic). |

Im also from a town wich is located on a teritory wich was once part of country that was called "Jugoslavija" :)
Ill try to get back closer to the topic :)
I think there should be Country listed as "Yugoslavia", There could be "Serbia and Montenegro", and now and for the future releases, there should be "Serbia" and "Montenegro"...
Hopefully there wont be any more dividing, we are small enough already :)
If some sceners appear from "Kosovo" let them choose where do they consider themselves belonging to...
As long as there are releases I dont care :) commodore is one and only nationality! :)
p.s. You ever heard of "Divide and conquer" strategy :)

I remember an Amiga demo I watched that was released in 1992 by a Croatian group called "Reality Croatia" (I think it was called "Kwnin Peaks" or something like that) In that demo some of the English text pronounced the country as Serbia instead of Yugoslavia. |
