There are many theories about the mega popular HBO TV series ''Game of Thrones’’; however, one of them, that relates the series with the region of the former Yugoslavia, is becoming more and more popular every day.

Numerous fans of ''Game of Thrones'' have managed to establish the relation between the scenario of G.R.R.Martin and the fall of the former Balkan country of Yugoslavia, thus they have made some very interesting conclusions.

According to their theory, Lannisters are like Slovenians because they have blond hair and are very rich people who think that they are much better than others are. Tyrells are like Slavonians (from the continental Croatian region of Slavonia) who have an abundant and fertile land and are always the deciding factor, but never in the lead.

As far as Greyjoys are concerned, fans compare them with Dalmatians (from the coastal Croatian region of Dalmatia) and describe them as people who only respect each other, whilst they consider others weak. Masters of Hawk's Nest are compared with Montenegrins due to a practically unconquerable mountain country. The family is full of strange family relationships, whilst an eagle adorns their coat of arms.

Dorne, the homeland of Prince Oberyn, is compared with the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia because it is a country situated in the south, whose national flag contains a Sun. They always separated from others, and it is a land of handsome dark-haired people who differ from others in the kingdom.

Furthermore, Baratheons represent Bosnians because they are tall and cheerful people who are always in the mood for food and drinks, and are considered as brave and strong men. The popular Stark family living in the north is compared with Serbians because they are proud people, however, some consider them wild and cruel.

Behind the wall live savages who, according to some, represent Kosovo or Russia. Riverrun, the home of Tully family, would be Vojvodina, a neutral land similar to Slavonia, which is somehow always caught in wars.

It is interesting to note that this theory was backed up by George R.R. Martin’s statement that he had been intrigued by the fall of Yugoslavia.
