Let's see:

To do so, I'll need to invade and take Serbia, Albania, and Greece.

I don't think actually taking them is hard, the game is very biased against countries without players or with inactive players.

Thing is, historically AH had ambitions in the Balkans too, and this game is chaotic. Since I'm now a Neutral Power, I am no longer an ally of AHC, therefore they might invade me if I become more relevant. Doing so would likely trigger a hostile German response and Devon will probably try following up, probably from Cyprus.

Also if I try to drive the Ottomans out of the Balkans, I risk the same scenario in addition to making Devon too powerful since he'll probably invade Syria from Egypt.

Also, declaring war on my neighbors would result in me looking not-so-neutral, and for better or worse I need allies. I only left the Central Powers because I'm not relevant enough to handle a map-wide war.

Not to say I don't have territorial ambitions over the Balkans. maybe if we went down Finnsball's Black Hand side quest we could have a reasonable excuse for war?

Right now I just want to wait for the inevitable Anglo-German war. They'll gobble up most of the map sooner or later, and then they'll have no other place to expand. I just plan to sit and wait, and run the risk of them all invading me until I have the best odds. Even then, there is no set way for the game to end, so I suppose, eventually I conquer the map or I get conquered. And the chances of conquering the map as such a small country is low. Who knows, I'll need to invade the Ottomans first if I have any hope of "winning"/
