Greece's tax authority, housed in a modernized former shopping mall, has dramatically improved the nation's finances using technology. Employing drones, big data, and real-time surveillance, they've cracked down on tax evasion, leading to budget surpluses and credit upgrades.

While challenges like inequality persist, the reforms have significantly improved Greece's economic standing and public trust.
