Greece

Overview

Out of 72 countries, Greece sits at #42 — #42 Most Cooked. Three departments are doing the heavy lifting here: political institutions (political polarization beats 51% of the field, just not in a good way), housing policy (housing cost burden, 72nd percentile), and healthcare financing bringing up the rear. Different agencies, same energy.

Overall score: 25/100 — 2 points below the global median of 27 (higher = more cooked). Performance is lopsided: political polarization ranks worse than 51% of countries, while billionaires hoarded (6 billionaires) is the closest thing to a bright spot — and it still only beats 61% of the field. The story here isn't the country — it's the political institutions stack behind these numbers.
