Megali Greece

The Republic of Megali Greece (Greek: Δημοκρατία της Μεγάλης Ελλάδας) which is commonly shortened to Megali Greece (Greek: Μεγάλη Ελλάδα) and sometimes simply Greece (Greek: Ελλάδα) is a republic situated in Europe. The republic was founded based on the Megali Idea, which was an irredentist concept of Greek nationalism that expressed the goal of establishing a Greek state that would encompass all historically ethnic Greek-inhabited areas.

History
In 1922, as the Ottoman Empire began to dissolve, Greek nationalists were able to easily take what they deemed as their "historical lands" and began annexing these lands to Greece. Greeks began settling in Constantinople (Istanbul) and retook parts of western Turkey. Despite the Greeks being genocided at this time, they were still able to maintain a good population in the west. When the genocide of Greeks ended, more Greeks moved into Constantinople's areas and eventually all of Aegean Turkey was annexed to Greece. Cyprus was later rewarded to Greece as well. Once the nationalists were happy with all the lands they annexed, they stopped and established a republic, which would be known as Megali Greece.

Greece eventually allied the West, helping them along with Western countries helping them as well. It became economically stable with Western support, along with some Eastern support as well.

In the early 2000's, Greece was offered to join the EU, to which they declined. It is still as economically stable as it was when it formed.

Languages
The official language of the republic is Greek, a Hellenic language. Greek is the primary language of communication, and minority groups were heavily encouraged to only speak Greek in public. Hellenification was the key to establishing the republic. There are other languages spoken in Greece as well, including Albanian, Armenian, Aromanian, Bulgarian, Macedonian, Romani, and Turkish. English is also spoken as a lingua franca in recent years.

Ethnic groups
94% of the population is ethnically Greek. There are minorities of Albanians, Armenians, Aromanians, Bulgarians, Macedonians, Romani, and Turks. Other immigrant groups have also migrated in recent years.

Religions
The official religion of Greece is Eastern Orthodox Christianity, with 98% adhering to Christianity (of any type). There are significant minorities of Muslims and Jews.
