They did indeed. Iceland was invaded during Operation Fork in 1940, to prevent its use as an air and submarine base by Nazi Germany. Officially, they went there to "protect" Ireland, but it was definitely an invasion.
As for Greece, the british intervention in WW2 was on invitation of the Greek government, so that part is okay. However, during World War 1, the Entente powers, spearheaded by Britain, occupied Salonica, or Thessaloniki in order to pressurise the Central Powers in the Balkans. Greek Neutrality during that conflict was effectively ignored, and the intervention nearly pushed Greece into civil war.
Ah OK, wasn't thinking of WW2. That's good to know, so thanks for the info. Everyday is a school day!

This is interesting because it suggests that policies and cultural differences exist. For instance, you can stlll see East Germany and there is difference between eastern France and Western Germany, a difference that might not show up on other data, e.g. incomes might not be so different.0

13% is the base. All things being equal. 2 parents, 2 kids. Averege life expectancy 70. I'm looking at Spain and Italy. Now, Spain is known as retirement central. Not Italy though. Are Italians electing to have less children?
Edit: Where does 2.4 children go on the percentage chart. My maths does not go that far. 0 -

South of Spain is for retiring people. The paradox is that the south has more kids than the north of Spain.
It doesn't even follow GDP per person in each autonomous community, so it's an interesting one.0 -

Interesting concept but not sure if it is working correctly as in the few areas I checked, I didn't see significant changes in 2015 population versus 1990.0 -

Ireland {Leinster} has a large enough catchment of free ground around Dublin that people retiring/relocating don't go too far.
Turkey?
Option 1. They are micromanaging their population via industry as is Germany
Option 2. They are doctoring their books.0 -
