Greece is a country located in southeastern Europe, with a population of around 10 million people. It is known for its rich history and cultural heritage, including ancient Greek civilization, which is widely regarded as the birthplace of western philosophy, democracy, and the Olympic Games.
Greece is a member of the European Union, NATO, and the United Nations. Its capital and largest city is Athens, which is also home to many of the country's historical landmarks and cultural institutions, such as the Acropolis and the Parthenon.
The Greek economy is primarily driven by tourism, shipping, and agriculture, with the service sector making up a significant portion of the country's GDP. Greece has also faced economic challenges in recent years, including a debt crisis that began in 2008 and led to a series of austerity measures and financial bailouts.
Greek culture is characterized by a strong emphasis on family, community, and tradition. Greek cuisine, music, and dance are renowned around the world, and Greek mythology and literature continue to be influential in art and literature.
