Military
The army, surprisingly, is only used to police areas that are part of crete, and is the weakest branch, other than the Coast Guard, and the Police department. The main striking forces of Crete are the Marines and the Paratroop Air Arm. Since there are barely any tanks or artillery, most of which are allocated to the army and reserves, the ground troops have to rely on the Air force, the Navy, and The Air Arm of the Navy for artillery and anti-tank support. This means that the Cretan armed forces have mastered their own version of combined arms warfare. This works well, allowing them to take the land easily. Their defensive strategy is to try and halt the enemy before they can push inlands, and if that doesn't work, try surrounding the island, and harrass the supply lines.

Economy
The economy is akin to a socialist economy, done right. the government does not identify as socialist though. The nation has learned to be mainly self-sufficient, at least in economy. The main weak spot of Crete is its infrastructure, it's only just enough to keep the nation going, and mass production is hard, if not impossible, to undertake.

Politics
Crete is dominated by the liberal party, with the conservatives right behind them. There are other parties though, including a communist party. Corruption is not tolerated and is one of the worst crimes you can commit in crete, which is determined to have a fair government. Bribery, corruption, and anything of the sort can be punished by fines, life in jail, and even death.

Religion
The religion in Crete is mostly athiesm. However there is also Eastern Orthodox christianity and other religions. There is islam in the colonies in turkey. There is no official religion for Crete.
