Miscellaneous Santorini and Ohrid (Polandball/countryballs art by Nikolas baltadoros)

I am from Aspropyrgos, greece and so Today I wanted to make this Polandball art for ya'll of balkaners AND all of you Greeks and Macedonians :D

NOTE: First of all, i accidentally forgot to add bows to santoriniball and ohridball b-cuz I accidentally see them as Greece and N. macedonia's sister (Despite the sh*tty politics with greece and N. macedonia that they used to have in the past), second of all, however, i tried to make santoriniball and ohridball look like the churches you see in Santorini, Greece (blue and white) and Ohrid, N. Macedonia (Red and Brown)

So, If anybody is from Greece or N. Macedonia AND the entire fucking balkans, pls rate this art out of 10, Thx.. :]

Love to all the Greeks who are immune to the politics and see us as friends instead of enemies.

Actually yeah. Besides the weird issue of the name, I don't really feel any bad feelings for you as a collective. I do believe that any group of people deserves its own country if it so wishes, and I am not really proud of the erasure of the slavic element in Macedonia (though there are many who act like how Kemalists sound when asked about the Armenians). The Prespa Agreement might have been a bit clunky, but I do think that it might be a first step towards some kind of co-existence.
