Ok, another look at the population numbers. Egypt... The area the Greeks control OTL has a population of around 18 million. A lot would likely have died from the irradiation of the nile caused by nuking Cairo, and lots likely relocated to new Cairo and any other burgeoning settlements along the Eonile, especially with the Nile's flow being split between the two and the lands carrying capacity reduced, but we'd still have a pretty significant population, which after a while would likely stabilize as mostly Copts, preferring to live under an orthodox christian nation than a muslim one. So lets say 6 million or so.

Plus the population of Cyrenaica would likley be higher. So proposed Greek Federation population of more like 15 million would be more realistic I think.
