The Empire of Greater Greece/The Hellenistic Empire of The Greater Greek Region (Greek Empire/HEGGG)

Territories:
Greece, Albania, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Montenegro, Southern Serbia, Palestine/Israel Region, Cyprus, Crete, European Turkey (From Modern Greece's Border with Turkey all the way to Istanbul)

Government:
Absolute Monarchy Ruled By the Emperor (Will Explain in the History)

Important Characters:
Petros Romanov II Emperor of the Greater Greek Empire
Amena Romanov Queen of the Greater Greek Empire
Petros Romanov III Prince of the Greater Greek Empire

Economy:
The HEGGG is currently in a period of huge economic growth. With huge money coming from the Blue Coal mines in the Israeli-Palestinian Region (In this RP we call it Jerusalem Region), with large mines around the city of Jerusalem, the Balkan regions are still having a very good time, especially with the City of the Worlds Desire Constantinople being under Greek Control once more. Constantinople has a large amount of factories, creating steel, and using the Blue Coal that is shipped from the Jerusalem Region to create better military creations. The HEGGG's control on the 2 largest Aegean Islands (Crete and Cyprus) also help with money making status, as both bring in fishing and pearling money. The Aegean Islands also have a good amount of Blue Coal. but not as much as the Jerusalem Region and certainly no where near the amount as most of Asia. The HEGGG is still currently in the process of Industrializing the modern territories, with Albania and Macedonia being the two that have been Industrialized to the same extent as the Normal Greek territories, Jerusalem Region, and Constantinople.

Military:
The Empire of Greater Greece is very powerful when it comes to the sea and artilery, and in some cases, even the sky, but simple ground soldiers are not there strong point. The past Tsars and even the current one have all told there military advisers to focus on making new and powerful military machines to scare the opposition. The newest and most likely strongest of those weapons is known as the Blue Phoenix, named after a regiment of Greek soldiers during their revolution in 1821-1837 (IC Times, not IRL Times). The Blue Phoenix is a blimp mixed with a cannon that can drop giant balls of fury on there opponents. The reason for this is simple, the Greeks found the lost recipe for Greek fire. The Greeks fly up into the air at about 2 to 5 thousand feet and drop giant steel balls that are burning with Greek fire. The Steel balls have Explosives inside them so not only does impact burn buildings below, but the explosion can amp up the killing power x5 fold.

History:
The Empire of Greater Greece has been and still is a power that is growing in strength very fast for a nation in its position. Straight after the Greek Revolution, Greece began its march to power. With the holding of the Holy land, and the strategic placement near the Ottomans (Bane of the Christian World) leads to a large amount of nations trading and wanting to ally with the Empire of Greater Greece. 

The Greek Revolution began in 1821. The Greeks, with economic support from majority of the Christian countries, and actual military support from the German Empire (I asked, he said Ok). The revolution began in Athens, and soon after it spread all throughout the original region of Greece. Soon, the rebels had all of Modern day Greece under control. The Germans on the other hand, invaded from the Northern Area, stating that all land on that side of The Border-Ottoman border that is occupied will be given to Greece. The Ottomans brought in multiple majority Islamic countries to attack the other nations. They also brought in there vassals of Serbia and Montenegro. The Greek armies go upwards and quickly take Albania, Macedon, and Montenegro while Russia invades past the lands of Bulgaria and attack Kosovo. By 1826, most of the Greek controlled lands today where controlled by the Germanic-Greek Alliance. In 1830, Greek troops land in Cyprus and Crete, and after 1 year, those lands are also completely controlled by the Orthodox Alliance. Germany pulls out of the war in 1832, but they still supply money to Greece. Greece lays its eyes on the Holy hand, in which begins the siege of 5 years.

Greek troops arrive in early 1832, and march down the western border of Jerusalem. They set up a military base in the Gaza Strip, where they land most of there boats and start most of there invasions further east. In 1834, Greek troops march outside of Jerusalem, which begins the final chapter of the war. A huge Ottoman Army charges against the Greek troops on September 1st, a day that shall be known as the Bloody Monday. In that first day, over 5 thousand Greek troops and 6 thousand Ottoman troops died. In one week, over 15 thousand Greeks died and over 18 Ottoman troops died. The two nations went on and off with battling for over 3 years for Jerusalem until finally Greeks assert dominance over the area. The two nations bring up peace talks and in late 1837, The Empire of Greater Greece is given independence with the lands they currently own today.

Since then, Greece has stayed relatively peaceful, with the closest thing they have done to military conflict is voice support for one nation or another.

Capital: 
The HEGGG has 1 capital, but there is a tradition in which the new Tsar picks a new Capital. The current capital is Constantinople but in the past Jerusalem and Athens have both held the title of Capital.
