Greece is ethnically homogeneous and overwhelmingly Greek-speaking, with small minorities and immigrant communities. The Greek language has a continuous written history of nearly three thousand years.

The Greek Orthodox Church is the dominant faith and a pillar of national identity, alongside small Muslim and other minorities.

Society

Greece has high life expectancy and universal healthcare, but an aging and shrinking population, worsened by emigration during the debt-crisis years.
