History

The village was founded by the Ottoman Turks. Its inhabitants were 3/4 Bulgarian and 1/4 Turkish before the village was annexed by Greece from Bulgaria in 1920 and before the aftermath of the Greco-Turkish War (1919-1922), when Greek refugees from Eastern Thrace and Asia Minor settled into the village. Its Turkish name was changed to the current Zoni.

gollark: After 200 years, at least several tens of thousands, actually.
gollark: The value of stocks tends to go up a bit over time (in aggregate, for individual ones or shorts amount of time maybe not), and the magical power of compound interest™ makes that significant.
gollark: Not really. Regular people can buy stocks. Probably only large companies are doing HFT, though.
gollark: Apparently finance might be an application for it, since fibre optics are somewhat significantly slower than light, and the satellites' laser/microwave links wouldn't be, and the minor latency advantage would provide an edge in high frequency trading.
gollark: Wokerer: modulate some kind of neutrino generation thing, and have a detector on the other end, so you can just send signals straight through the earth.
