Not so, Kosta. The overwhelming majority of Greek citizens are members of the Church of Greece, not of dioceses under the jurisdiction of the Church of Constantinople I stand corrected. If 9 out of 11 million people are members of the Church of Greece theh naturally those belonging to the EP are but 20% of the Greek population.
I was misguided by the fact that the juridsctional territory of the Church of Greece (as recongized by Constantinople) comprised 30 out of 81 diocese (37%), and the fact that the Ecumenical Patriatriarchate in 1850 recognized jurisdiction of the Church of Greece within the borders of the Greek state in 1830.
It is also my understanding that 6 out of 12 members or 50% of the Greek Synod are from jurisdictions under the Patriarchate of Constantinople.
I suppose the jursidiction of the COG has been extended to areas beyond the original areas recognized by the EP in 1850.
I can see how you could get confused. The jurisdiction of the EP over the New Territories is defined by a Patriarchial Synodal act from 1928 and that jurisdiction, while canonically significant, is practically much less so. The areas included are parts of Epirus, Macedonia, Western Thrace and northern and eastern Aegean islands. Here’s a link to a new study of that act and its effect on the ground done by the Phanar recently:

You are correct that half the metropolitans in the synod of the Church of Greece are from those territories, but the synod is made up only of the metropolitans of the 12 metropolises of modern Greece. There are over 100 dioceses, as I remember it, and at least 75 of them, where most of the people are, are under metropolitans of the Church of Greece.
You may remember that there was a mini schism a few years back when Athens appeared to violate the 1928 act.
