Vanilla RTW used romanized versions of Greek names like Makedonia. The "c"s in these names can lead English-speaking people to the misconception that they were pronounced with some kind of "s" (like "Masedonia" - ugh ).
So, is modern day Macedonia actually pronounced Makedonia? This is news to me.

Yes. As far as I understand, the Western European pronounciation with "c" (or in German, "z") is a kind of misnomer. Both the Greek and not-so-Greek Makedonians use the "K" even today.
