Poli-Sci Lesson for teh Stupid (i.e. me)

[missmiah]

rewil: k, so Serbia-Montenegro has split in two. which is cool and all, they get new flags which is fun and all the new stationary and stuff, but adding the new datelines for the capitals is kind of annoying.
rewil: Belgrade is now in the system three different ways

Miah: Serbia-Montenegro was one country?
Miah: seriously?
Miah: has it always been like that?

rewil: why can't people order their political systems for my convenience
rewil: yeah, ever since Yugoslavia split.

Miah: Yugoslavia split?

rewil: ... hee, you just about made me sad
rewil: Montenegro voted to separate last week
rewil: today Serbia voted ... um, to agree that they were split up?
rewil: "Serbia, as the legal successor to the union of Serbia-Montenegro, inherits membership in the United Nations and other international organizations."

Miah: Geography/politics/math/world outside fiction is not my strong suit and while I think technically I had heard that Yugoslavia had split I couldn't tell you what it split into or why or when
Miah: so... basically they got a divorce and this is the settlement?

rewil: heh, yep

Miah: So Monenegro got to keep the vacation home in Rio and the car?

rewil: "I'm leaving you, and I'm taking the UN and NATO memberships!" ... heh. yep
rewil: "Minutes after the vote, the Serbia-Montenegro flags were removed from the parliament building."
rewil: the equivalent of taking off the ring?

Miah: yep
Miah: Serbia totally de-hyphenated its last name and is now telling all their mutual friends what a lying cheating bastard Montenegro was
Miah: and how he was banging the secretary while he was telling Serbia he had to work overtime

rewil: and Montenegro's already out scoping out Macedonia, totally
