Biography[]

The Grecian Kingdom was set up as a client state of the Russian Empire in 1807 after Russia conqured Greece from the Ottoman Empire during the Second Russo-Turkish War. 892,704 people lived in the Province of Greece under the Ottoman Empire, 90% of them Orthodox Christians, while 5% were Catholics and 5% of them were Muslims. The Grecian Kingdom was led by the person of Thales I of Greece, who was indifferent to Russian protectorship. He made trade agreements with the Austrian Empire and the Romanian Kingdom, tying the kingdom together with Russia's allies. The Grecian Kingdom's capital was Athens, and its major port was located at Patras, which made it a wealthy nation and a trade power.
