Hellenic Kingdom
Capital: Athens
King: George I
Prime minister: Charilaos Trikoupis
Description: The people who live in our nation are called "Greeks". Greece is a small, relatively poor nation. Its people are known for fiercely defending what they consider theirs.
History:
In 1814, a secret organization called the Filiki Eteria was founded with the aim of liberating Greece. The Filiki Eteria planned to launch revolts in the Peloponnese, the Danubian Principalities and Constantinople. The first of these revolts began on 6 March 1821 in the Danubian Principalities, but it was soon put down by the Ottomans. The events in the north urged the Greeks in the Peloponnese in action and on 17 March 1821 the Maniots declared war on the Ottomans. By the end of the month, the Peloponnese was in open revolt against the Turks and by October 1821 the Greeks under Theodoros Kolokotronis had captured Tripolitsa. The Peloponnesian revolt was quickly followed by revolts in Crete, Macedonia and Central Greece, which would soon be suppressed. Meanwhile, the makeshift Greek navy was achieving success against the Ottoman navy in the Aegean Sea and prevented Ottoman reinforcements from arriving by sea.
Tensions soon developed among different Greek factions, leading to two consecutive civil wars. Meanwhile, the Ottoman Sultan negotiated with Mehmet Ali of Egypt, who agreed to send his son Ibrahim Pasha to Greece with an army to suppress the revolt in return for territorial gain. Ibrahim landed in the Peloponnese in February 1825 and had immediate success: by the end of 1825, most of the Peloponnese was under Egyptian control, and the city of Missolonghiput under siege by the Turks since April 1825fell in April 1826. Although Ibrahim was defeated in Mani, he had succeeded in suppressing most of the revolt in the Peloponnese and Athens had been retaken.
Following years of negotiation, three Great Powers, Russia, the United Kingdom and France, decided to intervene in the conflict and each nation sent a navy to Greece. Following news that combined OttomanEgyptian fleets were going to attack the Greek island of Hydra, the allied fleet intercepted the OttomanEgyptian fleet at Navarino. Following a week long standoff, a battle began which resulted in the destruction of the OttomanEgyptian fleet. With the help of a French expeditionary force, the Greeks drove the Turks out of the Peloponnese and proceeded to the captured part of Central Greece by 1828. As a result of years of negotiation, Greece was finally recognized as an independent nation in May 1832.

What free division? I was just saying everyone only had one territory and therefore can only build one division or fleet this turn...
@LH. You only have one division. You can't move it from Benelux and then to Spain.
I said produce one, claim Spain with it, and use the other one to claim Benelux. Am I allowed to use armies like that on the turn I build them? If not, cancel Spain.

But you start with no divisions and can produce one this turn since you have one TP.
@Christos
Quick question, did you copy and paste that from somewhere or did you write all that for a Risk game?

It would take 'bout 4 turns for your division in the Caribbean to embark, sail, and disembark in Ethiopia.

Divisions can only move one territory per turn, including sea territories. Greece does nor border Turkey.
