Nation: Greece
Can you be grammatically accurate and in character 99% of the time? Yes
How did you hear about us? I don’t even remember anymore but I'm Poland?
Why do you want to play this Nation? I enjoy playing Greece in other places and I've always had a fascination with the history. NA has needed a Greece for awhile, especially when we have such an amazing cast so I would like to take the spot. HOWEVER, since I'm already Poland, I would like to request preference be given to any others that may apply.

Bulgaria -In our past, Bulgaria and I have worked together and we have worked against each other. In the early twentieth century, the two of us formed an alliance with the other Balkan states to oppose Turkey. Together, we were able to defeat the Turk and bring him down to his knees but. . . unfortunately for myself, Bulgaria soon turned against me and I found myself working with Turkey to put Bulgaria back in his place. In World War 1, Bulgaria worked alongside the Ottoman Empire to occupy parts of my house. However in the Second World War, Bulgaria alone attacked me while Turkey. . . feigned neutrality. In recent years, our relations have flourished and our bosses have tried to move beyond the past but nothing can change the fact that sometimes. . . I wonder what is going in Bulgaria’s mind. . .
Egypt - More than Turkey or any other nation, Egypt and I have a. . . long relationship that dates back to when we were children and our mothers were alive. Under our mothers’ guidance, the two of us were able to co-exist peacefully but we soon lost contact after the fall of the Byzantine Empire when my house fell under Ottoman Rule and Egypt began to speak to Turkey more. I watched as Egypt remained independent and forged a close alliance with the Ottoman Empire. . . and I watched as our friendship became a thing of the past. Egypt did not acknowledge me as a nation, instead, I was but an occupant in his friend’s-Turkey’s-house so when I declared my independence he. . . sided with Turkey. After finally obtaining my independence, our relations were. . . awkward. . . but recovered with time. In World War II, my royal family and key figures of the government were welcomed as they fled to Egypt. The two of us now share a warm relationship and visit one another often.
Hungary - Together, she and I lived with the old man until 1699 when Austria, Poland, and other European powers took her away from him. I was allowed to visit her until 1718 when the last of her lands finally seceded from the empire. In our time together, we became close through our strong dislike for the old man. She was a strong and kind spirited girl and I looked up to her as a sister figure. After she left, the old man tightened his old on me. Hungary was sorely missed. When I gained my independence, the two of us didn't speak often and if we did, it was often through her (at the time) husband, Austria. The two of us officially established diplomatic ties in 1956. We aren't nearly as close as we used to be.
Turkey - . . . The two of us have a long and. . . extensive history. After the fall of Constantinople and later the Byzantine Empire in the mid-1400s, I became an unfortunate resident of the Ottoman Empire. I watched as he discriminated, abused, and took away the sons of my people. Turkey and I were too different to possibly live in the same house together and so I declared my independence and left. He was cruel and would not allow me to leave without consequence. . . After finally obtaining my independence, our relations were naturally tense and they remained that way for decades to come. The best our relations had been was in World War 2 when he declared neutrality and watched as I was occupied by the Bulgarians, Italians, and Germans. He allowed my people to seek refuge in his house but only after he robbed them of all of their wealth and subjected them to discrimination once again. At the end of the war, he fancied himself a hero as he helped to “liberate” me but it was too little too late. The two of us remained at odds until the 1999 earthquakes. Thousands of Turkish citizens died and I. . . sent aid. He was surprised to see me helping-the look on his face was priceless. His people praised me and he insisted I did it because I “liked” him but I only did it to prove that I was not heartless like he was. One month later, an earthquake struck my heart in Athens. . . I only accepted Turkey’s help because he owed me. Since the earthquakes, our bosses have promoted closer relations between the two of us, my boss even advocates Turkey joining the EU. . . Turkey isn’t perfect, he is unstable, and he still has to meet all of the EU’s terms so hopefully he won’t be in the EU for awhile. . . . Some day, maybe, but hopefully, not soon.
TRNC - While my relations with Turkey are improving, my dealings with his son, the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus is far from what one would call “good.” He does not get along with Cyprus and accuses him of starting fights but I must remind you: It is the Turkish Resistance Organization that caused the most problems and led to the isolation of Greek and Turkish Cypriots. Naturally, Turkey sides with the child and blames me as well despite the fact it was he who invaded Cyprus. As I do not recognize TRNC, I only negotiate with him through Turkey. The entire Cyprus dispute is a headache that could easily be resolved if the child would simply stop being so stubborn . . . . . . . . . . But I suppose it’s Turkey’s fault that the child is so much like him.
