Summary map of the Greek civ:

And now:

Did Alexander's empire really stretch that far north?

 

[Kyriakos]

I think the site has some errors, iirc Justinian for example controlled some more land in southern Spain too.

But i like the style of their maps

 

[Dachs]

The Seleukids did. As usual, I have issues with the borders - if anything, they've been hilariously underestimated.

 

[salty mud]

I don't think it is showing the Byzantine Empire. Under Justinian, they reconquered a lot more of Italy and Spain as you said.

 

[Kyriakos]

Yeah, but Carthage was only under a 'greek' empire's control during the Byzantine Empire i think. Herr Dachs is here to answer of course

The British had over 6 times that amount of land, and that was only 90 years ago rather than 2390 years ago, yet we seem a lot less bitter about no longer having it?

That's because you are still controlling it secretly by the charismatic power of the British Monarch.

 

[W|M]

The British? Not being bitter about having lost their Empire?

 

[Kyriakos]

Well not many people are bitter about losing Persia or India. Anatolia is another case. And the european parts of Turkey, yet another. You see England never lost its capital (as happened in the case of Constantinople). Symbolically it is a devastating blow.

But personally i have more serious matters to feel bitter about than that, as should anyone the way things are headed, here but also the rest of the west to some degree.

Not many Loyalists in your area, then?

What can I say? I live in a LibDem held area

At least where I live, it seems like only those over the age of fifty care about the loss of the empire. The rest see it as one of the worst things ever to have happened in history.

Less bitter than whom? Who's bitter?

 

[Kyriakos]

:/

It was me who was named as bitter. But i am not really about the loss of the Empire. I am about the modern Greek state though, and its course in this tempestuous world of ours.

 

[Dachs]

Dachs' incredibly lazy and mediocre map of everything that some sort of Greek state has ruled at one point or other, depending on your opinion of Dunqula:

 

[Kyriakos]

If i was playing EU3 again i would go for controlling all that

 

[Dachs]

The map's slightly wrong in Sogdiane, Armenia, and Margiane but I don't really care

Kind of curious about the purple in northern India, near Dehli, what Greek states controlled that? The Greco-Bactrian ones?

 

[Tee Kay]

You could also make an argument for Wallachia and Moldavia.
