The Hellenic Republic! (Better known as Greece.) During the 20th Century, Greece flip-flopped between being a monarchy and being a republic rather a few times (and sometimes sort of went with both), until finally settling on a republic in 1973. This stamp enthusiast grew up with a papou and yia yia (and uncles with gorgeous names like Evangelo), believing the best baklava in the whole world was Greek baklava made by my yia yia. Having made it an informal mission to sample as many kinds of baklava the world has on offer, I can comfortably state it’s still true.

The Cretan State was a short-lived protectorate on the island of Crete, after yet another tussle between the Cretans and their Ottoman rulers (in 1897) and before the transfer of sovereignty over to the Kingdom of Greece (ultimately recognized in 1913). Britain, France, Italy, Austria-Hungary, and Russia decided the Ottomans could no longer control the land and interceded, declaring the foundation of the Cretan State and each taking turns administering the so-called autonomous state. The Cretans ultimately took matters into their own hands and declared enosis (Ένωσις), or union, with Greece. Crete has been a part of Greece ever since [well, union was declared in 1908 and finally recognized by the Great Powers in 1913].
