The US is old
Has an identity that cannot be reinvented
And other neighbors
Reform on the fundamental level is near impossible
A new Nation state doesnβt have that to nearly the same degree
It presents opportunity
i agree there
Perhaps if an explicitly right leaning nation with the south, rust belt and great plains could be influenced by us
There would be vacancies in all key positions
Perfect opportunity in more ways than one
If it were like that I'd put up with it for a while
But in the longterm the territorial situation is unacceptable regardless
Turkey is far from low hanging fruit though
A Greece controlling the coast both sides of the Aegean is a major goal for my lifetime
I'll be sorely disappointed if the kebabs retain it
Idc about Italy controlling majority Turk areas tbh
Either way it makes sense to put the coastlines under Greek jurisdiction, the rest being more of a colony
Greece would have a hard time holding on to all of Anatolia so the colony should be some jointly governed kind of thing
Afaik before the population exchange there was an idea floating around about making another Greek state for Pontic Greeks
there should be a state for Pontic Greeks. They are basically grekophone caucasus natives
The Megali Idea implied the goal of reviving the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire, by establishing a Greek state, which would be, as ancient geographer Strabo wrote, a Greek world encompassing mostly the former Byzantine lands from the Ionian Sea to the west, to Asia Minor and the Black Sea to the east and from Thrace, Macedonia and Epirus to the north, to Crete and Cyprus to the south. This new state would have Constantinople as its capital: it would be the "Greece of Two Continents and Five Seas" (Europe and Asia, the Ionian, Aegean, Marmara, Black and Libyan Seas, respectively).
because it is a doric derivative?
Yes.
Because it is Doric derived.
Also I made it.
cool, are u Greek?
just saw ur avatar
99% u are
It includes all the Greek territories that were claimed in Megali Idea.
Ye.
I am.
Also I split Greater Greece into regions and I gave them their "historical" languages.
Except from regions that had developed mixed languages like Cappadocia (Cappadocian Greek).
@TheEternalSearcher π π i had a chat with a friend from serbia long ago. he said that when they were visiting corfu they found old greek grandpas speaking serbian, when asked why they said that their own grandfathers from corfu fought alonside serbs in the thessaloniki front in ww1 and they have massive respect for the serbs. they even saluted my serbian as they were leaving
Yes Serbians are really good friends of Greeks. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/proxy/Dq2guAoPCKy8pJDFBHDx2kHf7YRna9uzFVAXrc3_Rojso8TJ75-ov0msYCP7csrcDB_yjehZFPQOjhHDhkAsUymxbHpX_jUBT0x-_30SoTY
We always helped each other in wars.
Also Interesting story, I have also ancestors from my dad's side that fought alongside Serbs in WW1.
