I found a copy of the March 1966 Worlds of Tomorrow sf 'zine online, ordered it, and recently reread "Like Any World of Gree". Alas, the story is sadly wooden in style, characterization is limited, plot is pedestrian. I misremembered the subtitle, which read:

It was a slave planet, like any other enslaved by Gree—but it happened to be named "Earth"!

The story, according to [1], is part of a "Gree" series:

• The Slaves of Gree (1964)
• Gree's Commandos (1965)
• Gree's Hellcats (1965)
• No Friend of Gree (1965)
• Gree's Damned Ones (1965)
• Like Any World of Gree (1966)
• Enemies of Gree (1966)
• The Sign of Gree (1966)
• A Beachhead for Gree (1967)

Maybe some of the others were better. Or perhaps memory is greener than reality? (but cf. PlasticMemory for a pleasant counterexample?!)
