Well, what would be a better hex to have that word in?
86, 104 or a neighboring hex would be reflecting the actual core of said region.
Heldenkaiser, you are right in saying that this is only a political debate, inspired by The scopje government and the previous US administrations, with no base on actual history. There is no historical debate. Historians actually have no doubt that Macedonia was a Greek Kingdom and its core was between Mount Olympus and (present-day) Thessalonika. Why politicians think otherwise is another matter.
If you are interested, read this letter sent to Pr.Obama by 320+ historians teaching in American Universities.

Just two random extracts from the letter:
"...
We do not understand how the modern inhabitants of ancient Paionia, who speak Slavic – a language introduced into the Balkans about a millennium after the death of Alexander – can claim him as their national hero. Alexander the Great was thoroughly and indisputably Greek..."
"...The traditions of ancient Paionia could be adopted by the current residents of that geographical area with considerable justification. But the extension of the geographic term “Macedonia” to cover southern Yugoslavia cannot. Even in the late 19th century, this misuse implied unhealthy
territorial aspirations. The same motivation is to be seen in
school maps that show the pseudo-greater Macedonia, stretching from Skopje to Mt. Olympus and labeled in Slavic. The same map and its claims are in calendars, bumper stickers,
bank notes, etc., that have been circulating in the new state ever since it declared its independence from Yugoslavia in 1991. Why would a poor land-locked new state attempt such historical nonsense? Why would it brazenly
mock and provoke its neighbor?
However one might like to
characterize such behavior, it is clearly not a force for historical accuracy, nor for stability in the Balkans. It is sad that the United States of America has abetted and encouraged such behavior.
We call upon you, Mr. President, to help - in whatever ways you deem appropriate - the government in Skopje to understand that it cannot build a national identity at the expense of historic truth. Our common international society cannot survive when history is ignored, much less when history is fabricated."
So, on one hand we have a
scientific consensus, and on the other, a
political debate that completely ignores historical fact.
