The Read
Greece — parliamentary republic, in Europe, ~10.5 million people — is a sovereign state run from Athens.
In Greece the prime minister governs only as long as parliament lets them. The presidency, if it exists, is usually a referee — not the show.
Greece's political landscape includes 3 elections, 218 political parties, and 2 offices.
