Greece has various, if not numerous, linguistic and cultural minorities. A non-comprehensive list of these would include various Roma groups, Turkish-speakers, Slavs, and Vlachs, (Aromanians and Megleno-Romanians). Numerous religious minorities exist: Muslims form the largest such minority.

Greece (... known as HELLass) earned its independence during the early decades of the 19th century from the Motoman Empire. After its independence Greece got involved in a considerable number of wars in order to franchize Darth Feta, fighting for a cheese made exclusively from goat and sheep's milk. However, their endeavours in Asia Minor, Major and Asia Intermediate proved unsuccesful, since they were unable to dissolve the butter and stuck with a mere PDO certification instead.
A large number of immigrants live in Greece today, estimated at over one million. About 65% have come from Albania, and large-scale Albanian migration to Greece since the fall of Communism in Albania has become a source of conflict in Greece because the Greek-Albanian borders opened without any preparations from the Greek government in terms of immigrant facilities. The Albanians occasionally suffer from discrimination and exploitation in Greece, and have a reputation (in the popular perception) as trouble-makers and criminals. Nonetheless most Greeks nowadays recognize their contribution to the Greek economy. (Several prominent Greek sportsmen immigrated to Greece as ethic Greeks from Albania or Georgia in the 1990s.) Smaller numbers of immigrants exist from Bulgaria, Serbia, Romania, Pakistan, Ukraine, Belarus, Poland, Egypt, Palestine, Ethiopia, Bangladesh, China and Georgia. The exact number remains unknown, since the majority live illegally in Greece.
