The Hellenic Confederation, also known by its informal name Greece, is a federative state in Eastern Europe lying in the southernmost portions of the Hellenic Peninsula, Eastern Thrace, and the North-west territory of the Asia Minor. Its territory includes the majority of the Aegean Islands (most notable of which are Crete and Euboea), Cyprus, and the southern portions of the Ionian Island complex.
