Il est amusant de remarquer comme ces « élites » mettent les mots utilisés par le commun des mortels entre guillements, une preuve supplémentaire que ces gens sont en complet décalage avec le reste des individus, autant par leurs actes que par leurs paroles...

THE HELLENIC REPUBLIC

GENERAL

Location, Area, and Population

 The Hellenic Republic (the « Hellenic Republic » or « Greece ») is located on the southeastern tip of Europe in the eastern Mediterranean. It borders Turkey, Bulgaria, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, and Albania and has an area of 132,000 square kilometers, of which about one third is cultivated. Islands account for approximately 25,000 square kilometers, or 18.9% of the total land area, and the country has an extensive coastline of 15,000 kilometers. The sole official language is Greek.

 The climate ranges from temperate in the north to semi-tropical in some southern areas. The land surface under irrigation has increased considerably in recent years, thus helping cultivation of crops, which range from cereals to citrus fruits, tobacco, and cotton. Similar to other countries in the Mediterranean region, however, heat waves and drier conditions have led to larger and more uncontrollable forest fires across the country in past years, most recently in August 2009.

 The results of the last official census in 2001 estimated the population of Greece at 10,964,020, compared with 10,260,000 in 1991. The population growth rate according to 2001 estimates is 6.9%. In mid-year 2009, the estimated population was 11,282,751.

 The growth and distribution of Greece’s population during the post-war years has been influenced by the steady number of Greeks emigrating and the high rate of urbanization in recent years. The population of Athens (greater metropolitan area) increased from 2.2 million inhabitants in 1971 to over 3 million in 2001, representing 30% of the total population in the latter year.

Constitution, Government, and Political System

 Greece functions as a parliamentary democracy, with the President of the Republic (the « President ») serving as Head of State, as provided for in a constitution adopted in 1975 and revised in 1986 (the « Constitution »). Once under the rule of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, Greece became an independent kingdom in 1830. From the adoption of the first constitution in 1843 until 1973, except for the periods 1924-1936 and 1941-1944, Greece’s head of state was a hereditary monarch. In 1967, a military junta seized power and, in 1973, abolished the monarchy. The military regime ended in 1974, when parliamentary democracy was restored following a referendum in which the electorate rejected a return to monarchy. Greece has universal direct suffrage for all persons over the age of 18.

 The Constitution provides for a unicameral legislature (the « Parliament » or « Vouli »), the President, a Prime Minister (the « Prime Minister ») heading the Government, and an independent judiciary. The Vouli consists of 300 members who are elected for a term of four years.
