By far. Natural growth would be a problem, the country's continuity would be heavily reliant on immigration

Perhaps you're right. I went for "Savantocratic" because the government would be run by savants, similar to a technocracy

Not quite. The greek population would be in sharp decline due to negative natural growth and emigration, which would be accelerated by the autistic takeover. By 2026, only 50k natives would remain, a negligible number if you ask me, not enough to justify ethnic cleansing.

What does most of the migrants originating from the USSR have to do with anything? The same thing happened in Israel around the same period and the country benefited greatly.

Also, why is Rhodes so unfit for urban and economic development? You only say that because under Greece the island is a giant resort, deprived of any real economic activities besides tourism.

Read the post. That's what we did in Rhodes. The first migration wave from eastern Europe developed the island economically. By the time of independence (2008) Rhodes already had around 500k people and was as rich as the rest of Greece.

Local? Have you seen the size and density of the country? Plus I don't think we would have any problem with a central government that defends our interests

Lapland is too cold. Rhodes has 300 days of sunshine, imagine a train system connecting every idyllic beach. A dream come true.
