“It seemed like a good idea at the time”
~ Oscar Wilde on Yugoslavia
Yugoslavia (Jugoslavija -- "Ju" as in You!) was the name of a former generic communist utopia, best known for its phonetic alphabets and exploding hatchback cars. Legend has it that the name is a portmanteau of "you", "go" and "slavery" (a favourite hobby among the poor in all its incarnations). During the 20th century Yugoslavia would become the world’s leading exporter of poverty, war criminals and material for Wikipedian edit wars.
There was a significant difference between the socialist Yugoslavia and the original kingdom of Yugoslavia. The former was founded by one Josip Broz Tito (twin brother of the beloved pup of Ozzian fame), whereas the latter was originally formed in the early 1900s by the rock band Franz Ferdinand.

[edit] Culture
Despite Yugoslavia's colourful history of genocides, the people were said to be rather bleak. Although avowedly atheistic, the ritual of eating dinner every evening was so firmly ingrained in the culture that it had reached the status of cult. A missed meal usually resulted in a public flogging or a crucifixion.
Yugoslavian popular culture is best known for its rollicking dance films. You Got Serb'd received the "European Musical Least Likely to Be Ripped Off By Americans and Repackaged as New Material" award from the Third Annual European Cinema Least Likely to be Poorly Remade by Hollywood Awards. Its sequel, You-Go-Girl (or Jugogrl, as it was known in Europe), was the biggest hip-hop/square-dance hit of 1985, and the largest grossing film endeavour in Yugoslav history (est. 9 USD).
Yugoslavia is like Nokia, every year - a new model, and they get smaller and smaller.
[edit] Industry
One of Yugoslavia's primary industries was the manufacture of Slavic accents. Known behind the Iron Curtain and abroad for setting the standard for stereotypical, nondescript, Eastern European diction in popular culture, the nation fell on hard times with the publication of Yakov Smirnoff's seminal classic on the subject, In Soviet Russia, R Backwards Ya!! An offshoot of this industry was the development of vowels for third world alphabets. However, in 1991, with the adoption of "Q" as the sixth vowel of the Latin alphabet (replacing Sometimes Y), the Yugoslavian vowel industry could no longer compete with its five vowel system, causing the "Great Vowel Crash of '91" (vaolkaputski) and the creation of The Country Formally Known as the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, inciting the wrath of Graecophiles everywhere.
Contrary to popular belief, Yugoslavia's other industry was not that of the production of Yugo automobiles, but that of herding them. This is because the Yugo is not a car, but a large yellow mammalian of the squirrel family, regularly hunted for its fine pelt and sweet milk (jugomooska). The Yugo is unique in the animal world in that from birth onwards it is constantly on the verge of death. In the deep forests of Croatia it was once believed a boy couldn't become a man if he did not take down the wily Yugo.
[edit] Language
The subject of language became a difficult and controversial subject in the waning years of the republic. Conflicts between Serbs, Croats, and Bosnians over whether their particular dialect should be called "Serbo-Croato-Bosnian", "Croato-Serbo-Bosnian", or "Bosnio-Serbo-Croatian" naturally lead to blood shed and mass terror, only to be resolved with a national thumb war held by the United Nations. The suggestion of simply calling it "Yugoslavian" was rejected on the grounds that it was a "total cop out."
However, according to some academics, there were actually 6 different languages spoken in Yugoslavia. In addition to the afformentioned Serbian, Croatian, and Bosnian, some posit the existence of three other languages: Herzegovinian (Hercegovacki), Negrian (Crnski) and Montian (Gorski).
[edit] Civil War
In 1990, member states of Yugoslavia decided that their pills were wearing off and the decades-long rave was finally coming to an end with the first rays of dawn slicing into the dark sky. Trouble arose when Slovenia decided that it was going to stay and drop half a tab with some guy he just met, and Croatia was determined to pursue its own fun so decided to go smoke some billies in the park next to the rave. Serbia was mad as a top, because it was depending on Croatia for a lift home from the party and Slovenia for a place to crash, so it started spitting chips. Bosnia and Macedonia realized that Serbia was having real problems handling comedowns and proclaimed that they weren't going to roll with Serbia unless it learned to relax.
After a short brawl to relieve sexual frustration, all of them went back to their family homes and swore that they would end counterproductive friendships, study harder and never go raving again.
The citizens of Yugoslavia realized that the only difference between any of them was that the Serbs didn't go to Orthodox mass, the Croatians didn't go to Catholic mass and the Bosniaks didn't go to Islamic prayers. They decided to put aside their differences and go down to the bar and have a drink or forty.
