Disney hasn't had a "regime change", and the regime question was quite clear at the time Mickey was invented.

Macedonia (Kingdom? Empire? Ancient ethnicity?/dialect?/polity?) had lots of regime changes. We can't even be sure that the Greeks, at the time of Philip & Alexander considered Macedonia to be "Greece." You could argue either way. You could also argue that half the world is the "real" Macedonia. Bagdad has a decent claim.

I can see how Greece sees it, that naming may lead to territorial claims. That aside, Names are just names. I don't think this name is a crime against logic/history.

This is like insisting that what gay "really" means is happy. It's neither true or false statement. It's nonsensical.
