Greece's Government
Greece is a nation that dates back before Christ. It's empire's power was on par with the famous Roman Empire and shared many similarities in government. Greece is where the first elements of democracy was practiced and created. It is now a constitutional republic and has a capitalistic economy
Greece's Economy Crisis
As of August of 2015, Greece's economy was ranked the 30th least developed in the world. This is because Greece is in a lot of debt. Greece continues to take out large loans and foreign aid from countries like Germany and unions like the European Union. This crisis has been a catalyst for extremist groups to try to seize Greece's government.
Greece's Civil Conflict
Along with mass immigration from other nations like Syria and Iraq, and the economy crisis, Greece is also suffering from internal conflict between extremist groups. These groups are far-right groups like 'Golden Dawn' and far-left groups like 'The Worker's Party of Greece.

This far-right group stands for racism, nationalism, fascism and militarism. This group would support an extremely free market economy.
Communist Party of Greece (Far-Left)
This group is a far-left group that stands for socialism, communism, and an extremely non-free economy. It is the polar opposite of the Golden Dawn Party
Anarchists (Left)
The Anarchists of Greece stand for anti-government but also advocate for communism. Anarchists are very anti-government so this means that they are also the opposite of the Golden Dawn party.
