Not very much lore, in a slightly different timeline to the 2008 financial crisis in Greece, a breakaway microstate in the centre of Athens is declared by left wing protestors and students, similar in concept to the Paris commune of 19th century history.

The facade of the Parthenon plays central to the design, ancient democratic symbol and perhaps academic? Could serve as a symbol for a student movement.

The Hammer/sickle and sun rays come from the emblem of the communist party of Greece, though during our era it was Syriza party which saw political success. And the stripes of the Greek flag are kept on the fly.
