You Know , Im Okay With Those South Slavs Calling Their Nation Macedonia For Geographic Purposes But Im Not Okay With Them Claiming Hellenic History And Our Cultural Heritage For Themselves.

You know, Greeks are claiming that Kebap is Greeks cultural heritage or white cheese (Feta) etc ... Its the same thing I thought.

Historically, geographically, and sincerely honest and well done map! No one wants to know the truth. No one wants to admit to forced annexation. This photo speaks the truth. Well done, friend!

Is there any sort of story or reality to this other than just again showing a diminished Greece...?

Well, this is odd. I haven't ever heard the Republic of Macedonia ever lay claim to the territories outside their present boundaries and unless you're trying to portray a multi-ethnic based Macedonia rather that today's Slavic based one, this looks more like the Ottoman definition of Macedonia than anything else.
Would you care to elaborate? This map is pretty confusing without any further explanation.

Type "Great Macedonia" on Google you will find explanations. These are Macedonian territories, not Greek.

I took a look at Google and it didn't really turn up anything valuable. Wikipedia on the other hand had an article on "Greater Macedonia" which I read in English as well as in translated forms from Greek, Macedonian and Bulgarian. All four versions of the article give me the impression that this is naught but an irredentist concept, much like the concept of "Greater Hungary" with which I'm all to familiar with. Adding to that, not only does the official policy of the government of the Republic of Macedonia not seem to support such claims, but the only one making them seems to be a Macedonian political party on the far-right. Furthermore, the idea does not seem to go longer back than the early 1800s.
My point is, rather than writing "Real Territories of the Republic of Macedonia", thus stating it as if it is an irrefutable fact, which it is not as it is a heavily contested issue, I suggest you reword it to "Concept of Greater Macedonia", as that would be more neutral.

is like "Misak-i Milli" for Turkey's territories. Its disputed by the people and territories that are historic course.

Well yes, these would be the real territories of the Republic of Macedonia if it was a Greek-speaking republic. As it is, the Greek part is just "places that are also called Macedonia" - you don't see Georgia (Caucasian Republic) claiming Georgia (US State), or people insisting that Albany (New York) should be part of Albania (Balkans).
