9 most influential lobbies in MKD |

Published in North Macedonia - Political debates and analysis - 11 - 16 Jan 21 00:07

Things are not quite as black and white as they seem, there exist a myriad of interests that are intertwined together and that gives the general direction in which the country as a whole moves in. I propose a framework for examining e-Macedonian history and current events based on a view of the country as a federation of 9 regions, each defined by a shared culture established by each regions founding population.

Without a doubt the 2 most powerful men in MKD are ATEHTATOPOT and Shime, each controlling their own party.
ATEHTATOPOT leads the northen parts of the country as well as enjoys full support of the NorthEast Macedonia and is in good relations with Central Macedonia and the Diaspora groups. The north is the capital IRL and is the most populated region. At the start of the corona crisis Ate`s group held almost absolute control over the country with controlling ~80% of the votes. With consequent BabyBooms pre- and after the boycott, this block has both weakened and diluted. He rules with an iron fist as you have seen in my previous 2 articles and his followers are fanatical. He is a communist and can be described as Stalin-like. Recently he was on a crusade to win over Ohrid. A subgroup can be described as Arachinovo crew, they dabble in pot which is now legal.
DobroDe was originally part of the Ate grouping, if my memory serves me well but after a couple of months of disagreement he branched out and has hence remained consistent with his own entourage. Recently he went on a trip to build relations with West Macedonia.
Unlike Ate`s case where you only need to be popular in 1 heavily populated region, Shime had to work his way throughout whole Macedonia, expanding his popularity. With political shrewdness he picked up every independent scrap he could win over. Primarily he leads the Eastern block which is known for hard work and gambling. He is also a communist in hearth and his search for flexibility places him close to Lenin. Traditional partners of the East are the Ohrid group and also has good relations with West Macedonia, Central Macedonia and Pelagonia groups. With the decadence of the North, Shime felt its time to challenge it for the no.1 position in the country, opening many state affairs along the road. Some players are in USA right now.

After failing to achieve its goal the NorthEast block has been completely docile in the last couple of months. They are known as the Macedonian underworld, but also for producing many politicians IRL, thus not surprisingly were capable of producing their own CP candidate here as well. Their goal was to become an autonomous region. For that purpose they had rebelled against the country and against ATEHTATOPOT. They also sent a memo to admin asking for game mechanics that would allow them to exercise their autonomy, but since admin refused their demands, Ate managed to crush their rebellion in one fell swoop during the night hours, and boycott was looming, good part have left the game. The rest have either remained loyal to Ate in MKD and 2click, or they 2click in USA.
The Central Macedonia group`s story is maybe the most tragic one. They are known to trifle
in both politics and academia, they had capacity to produce their own CP ingame and rival for the no.1 spot. But opportunity has never struck for them to unify into 1 movement. With the current status of some still staying banned from the boycott era, some scattered across the world in USA, Iran and Germany, as well as the ones in MKD divided between North and East, it looks like this group is thrown into the gutter. They also keep relations with Ohrid, Diaspora, DobroDe, West Macedonia and Pelagonia groups.
The Ohid group is known for meddling in politics in the past but after being dissatisfied with the current way things are done they have distanced themselves from the scene, but still keep an eye wide awake. They show remarkable regional patriotism and would defend their region to the last item of value they posses. The majority are in USA right now.
The Pelagonia people have no interest in executive power as of now, but do find interest in the judicial power which has put them in conflict with the state that have tried to meddle with the law. Some of the players are still banned and its owners await unban to no avail.
The West Macedonia group keeps relations not only with rest of Macedonians, but also with their neighbors Albanians. They are known for real estate, food industry and cryptocurrencies. Their closest bond is with the East. Most of them, if not all are in USA right now.
What the Diaspora members lacks in manpower they make up for in financial power. They`ve expressed little interest in politics but do want a good war or two. Some are still banned from the boycott era, some quit the game, the majority are staying in USA and Brazil.
