Welcome to the new version of European Tribune. It's just a new layout, so everything should work as before - please report bugs here.

Here's what would happen. First, there would be a local capital strike as anyone with hard currency fled the local economy. Civilian employment would collapse with millions of people out of work. Food and fuel imports would cease and there would be food shortages immediately and collapse of transportation and of the electrical grid. The far right would organize paramilitaries and begin the standard stages of an insurrection supported by elements of the military.  Hospitals would shut down because of fuel shortages and people would start dying. The water supply would fail. Macedonian and Cypriot radicals (on both sides) would take up arms.

You want to play at revolution without any notion of consequence.
