    suggestive

    Yes ... Suggestive could mean that the answers are inconclusive and need to be fully tested and proven before they can be relied on ... they may only be tentative at this stage.

    I don't want to engage in tax evasion

    They are both in the active voice, which is good. Δεν θέλω να φοροδιαφύγω = I don't want to tax evade. This is how I "hear" it (which sounds okay, to me anyway - it grates less than "property manage").

    η νύχτα βγάζει επίσκοπο κι η αυγή μητροπολίτη

    Ευχαριστώ, Earion. Έχεις δίκιο ... και ο Θέμης εκεί το πήγαινε. Αλλάζω γνώμη. In both cases - επισκόπου/μητροπολίτη - they are highly ranked (“priest”was a poor choice by me). So a bishop is appointed after night-long deliberations/an extensive process (“night/ νύχτα” may also suggest...

    έγινε/θα γίνει της Κορέας

    or... "it was a veritable civil war." - if you want to avoid the "Korean war" references and analogies, but retain "the war" aspect and "all hell has broken loose" metaphor.
