Greece
Greece is a member of the European Economic Community located along the Mediterranean Sea.
History
When the Mideast Meltdown occurred, thousands of immigrants from Turkey attempted to enter Greece and were killed or forced back by the Greek military. Additionally, Greece once again vetoed Turkey's attempt to join the European Economic Community. However, these immigration laws were relaxed in 2001 as Greece had fallen prey to the Wasting Plague and needed to rebuild its population.
As corporations began to buy out land across Europe, Greece pushed back and began nationalising much of their country instead. This resulted in the corporations backing the Greek military in overthrowing the government in 2006. President Ioannis Lacanos was assassinated and the remaining government fled to Rhodes.
In 2009, the military-controlled government then attempted to annex both Cyprus and Macedonia, but failed in both cases. To regain lost funds, and fight against internal partisan movements, they began increasing taxes. This ended up causing the corporations that had funded the initial military coup to abandon them.
In 2016, Rhodes was officially declared its own country by the EEC, despite the military governments protests. This emboldened the partisans, whom seized most of Tessaly. However, in 2018, Greece began receiving support from Albania which allowed them to successfully conquer Macedonia. Serbia reacted to this assistance by invading part of Albania, and the stalemate between them continued as of 2020.[1]
Government
In 2006, Greece's government was overthrown by its military, which received corporate backing. The military government is very corrupt, and the black market flourishes in areas occupied by them. Army officers and policemen are very accepting of bribes.[1]
Culture
Greeks are a very passionate people both in love and in war. The Greek's believe that anything has a price, and that anything can be bought for the right money. Greece is a very misogynistic country, though mostly subconsciously.
Greek cities are still popular tourist destinations, and though it’s a police state, the authorities are easily bribed. This has made Greece a hub for people secretly sneaking into Europe without the European Economic Community's knowledge.[1]
