But I thought you said an HRE could form in the north? If not, could the Kingdom of Italy be like this TL's early Germany?

Can Italy survive in the north, and there be an eventual power struggle between north and south Italy for the peninsula's unition?

Also out of curiousity, would Italy's neighbours be interested in uniting Italy for a powerful mediterranean ally, and perhaps for financial reasons?

I'll find something when the TL starts.

So if they were accepted, which is improbable as discussed, they'd have to know Spanish or leave the country?
