With a fund to bail it out currently standing at €1,300,000 on Indiegogo, it's fair to say that Greece has faced better economic times.
The dubbed 'birthplace of Western civilisation' has a $400 billion price tag on its debt and amidst worries for its future in the Eurozone.
The recent troubles can be traced back to when a profit spike in the 1990s allowed the Greeks to be accepted into the Eurozone.
