This is easy to explain.
If you had looked at the .log window, you may have seen the solution
yourself. Due to the space in "Greece Paper", the name for LaTeX's
auxiliary file would have been: Greece.aux with the word "Paper"
remaining, and attempted to be placed on the page.
This occurs at the \begin{document} line of your source,
before the warning has been disabled.
The warning means that something was placed onto the page,
*before* the processing for \begin{document} has been
completed. This is an error, since maybe the correct fonts
haven't been properly setup yet, and other kinds of preliminary
stuff.
Of course, normally it means that there is something wrong
somewhere else, as in the file-name, in your case.
