I can get the story started. On my UN nation, Iasonia, I was delegate of Greece when it first really emerged as an active region; we joined the ADN, fought a few battles, much fun was had. At the time I had a lot of stuff going on in real life and elsewhere in the game so I stepped down and various other Greek natives built on what we'd started back then. Activitiy was up and down, eventually more down like the rest of the game.
At some point, it was decided to refound the region (We'd been without a founder since before I joined and a hotspot for attacks) and the refounding didn't go off properly and through a serious of events the Persian Empire took control of the region. There's some RL/ethnic unpleasantry that lurks below the surface as well (Also with some Macedonian-affiliated nations/regions as well).
*EDIT* Editing in a timeline of sorts, checked some TGs on Iasonia to double check details
- Active natives decide to refound the region
- Refounding occurs but by an unknown nation "Yauna"
- Yauna more or less manages the region fine but keeps going inactive, eventually ceases to exist
- Persians invade, take over the region
- TITO(?) fails in a liberation attempt. Only had a couple lines about it so someone else can feel free to clarify

The Security Council,
Recognizing Greece as one of the oldest surviving regional communities in NationStates and that understanding its relatively complicated history is necessary to fully understand the region's current and dire situation,
Understanding that around August 2009, the two remaining natives of Greece (Grandon and Nikolaos The Great) decided to refound their founderless region to ensure the survival of the community,
Concerned by the fact that a relatively unknown nation, Yauna, happened to refound the region before the native, Nikolaos The Great, which intended to become the new founder of Greece, could,
Taking into consideration that, although Yauna performed its duties to the region's security by eventually repelling invasions, it was a notably inactive nation and even called a “joke” of a founder, by one native,
Reviewing some speculation by natives of Greece that Yauna is secretly allied with a foreign force, the Persian Empire, to protect its status as founder from the natives of Greece who were plotting to refound and commit mutiny against Yauna,
Concluding that, although Yauna made some critical and suspicious administrative decisions (such as permitting delegate access to the regional administration) just leading up to the current recent invasion of Greece by the Persian Empire, if Yauna was, in fact, allied with the Persian Empire, Yauna would have been capable of banning and ejecting the natives of Greece without the assistance of the invaders currently holding the region down (and it is therefore unlikely that Yauna is allied with the invaders),
Deeply concerned by the invasion of Greece that was conducted by the Persian Empire on July 30 2010 -- an invasion that used a condemned technique of invading, often referred to as “Password Grabbing,” that was popularized by Macedon and involves an invader delegate imposing a regional password immediately after successfully claiming the position of delegate,
Aware that the founder, Yauna, has not responded to the civil turmoil in Greece because of inactivity, and has since ceased to exist,
Affirming that a counterattack is impossible to conduct in Greece without the removal of the Delegate-imposed barriers to free entry,
Expecting that, without action by the World Assembly, Greece will become another prized possession of the Persian Empire, much like Ctesiphon, Greek Empire, Parthia, Hayk, Aria and Media -- all of which lack the desirable qualities of a region: activity, access and amenities,
Hereby Authorizes a removal of Delegate-imposed barriers to free entry into Greece to aid in the eternal conflict against those who threaten interregional harmony and goodwill.
Sponsored by the natives of Greece, including but not limited to Grandon and Nikolaos The Great.

I suspect a bit of both, but leaning towards the latter.

I think it would be neat to use our collective powers of deduction and investigation to figure out the three regions. I assume one of them was the Pacific?

4) Black Adder and/or Unlimited - because I know both of them as Pacific luminaries, but I don't know enough about either to tell you which one I'd prefer. (New People/Mammothistan/Great Bight, Ivan, and Chosen Men I've met, or they'd be on the 'random Pacificans' list, too.)
5) Argyres and/or Blackbird - I see you two in this thread, but I haven't seen you play... just heard your names mentioned reverentially in various contexts. (Until a few years ago, I would have said the same about Goober, CG, Ananke, and Free4All.)
My question: who were the three most essential people in your region/organization who aren't often included in our histories?

http://nsdossier.texasregion.net/history.aspx <- that's probably your best bet. You can get fancy graphs like this, for total regions, nations, WA nations, and the population of each region.
