HC that harbors suspicions about what all of its neighbors might do to take some of its territory because that's what it has tried to do to its neighbors, but failed. One of the more spectacular small-scale examples of a country that overreached in the past century, and definitely one in serious denial of its history.
They haven't failed - their borders with Bulgaria and Greece are about a 100 km north of where they should be. They did fail with Turkey, but they've done rather well in comparison with some other Balkan countries. Bulgaria is a much better example of a country that overreached.
Back to Greece, they have a lot of undeserved pride and arrogance. And they are in serious denial - they have tried and continue to try to erase any sign that anyone lived or lives in Greece. Probably our second worst neigbour (you can easily guess the worst).
On the other they have steadfastly opposed the West on Kosovo and for that alone the country is a FC.

*Former Ottoman Empire Possessions in Greece. As long as they call Macedonia "FYROM"...
I like the Macedonians much better than the Greeks, but Greece is completely right in this case.
