Province

The province of Troizinia (Greek: Επαρχία Τροιζηνίας) was one of the provinces of the Attica Prefecture, from 1964 to 1972 of Piraeus Prefecture and later again to Attica prefecture until today. Its territory corresponded with that of the current municipalities Troizinia and Poros.[5] It was abolished in 2006.

gollark: - I think that consumption, possession, distribution and production of all drugs should be legal everywhere for everyone at all times.- I support an improved tax system, where everyone in the country is directly billed `country's yearly operating expenses / population` each year, to increase fairness.
gollark: - I believe we should end racial discrimination by replacing computer monitors with 1-bit black and white displays so race cannot be distinguished.
gollark: - As eating meat places suffering on millions of innocent animals, I believe animal meat should be replaced with human flesh from donors, as humans are able to meaningfully consent to this while animals are not (and don't get a choice in practice anyway).
gollark: - To increase the efficiency of the education system and encourage self-directed learning, I believe schools should lock children in individual cubicles with textbooks for 5 hours a day instead of using classrooms and teachers.
