Greece

Greece is the southernmost of the countries of the Balkan Peninsula. Geography has greatly influenced the country’s development. Mountains historically restricted internal communications, but the sea opened up wider horizons. The total land area of Greece (one-fifth of which is made up of the Greek islands) is comparable in size to England, or the U.S. state of Alabama. It is the ancient home of Plato who was the first to describe fascism.
