Talk:History of Italy (Cromwell the Great)

The Italian Republic is a sovereign state in Northern Italy, and a sister republic of France. For a while, Napoleon Bonepart, the first counsul of France, was recognized President of the Republic, with Francesco d'Eril as Vice President. After the European Revolutionary Wars ended (Don't know if the French were victorious or not), The presidency was de jure vacant, and so Francesco was sworn in as Acting President of the Republic by the Consulta di Stato in April of 1811. Upon accession to the Presidency, he had a 10 year presidency ahead of him, due to there being no rules saying that elections had to be held if an acting president was sworn in, and so Francesco began immediate reforms, such as criminalizing slavery (which wasn't touched upon in the constitution, and was added via a Vote by the Consulta di Stato), liberalizing the state, making the Italian Republic a Moreno Seperate entity from France, while still retaining basic influences from Bonepart's Government. A basic legal system was put in place, basically outlawing the do's and don't's in Italy, and once again enforcing the Anti-Slavery law and policy. Francesco also reorganized the education system, dividing school into 2 sections: 3rd Degree school (Kindergarten-7th Grade) 2nd Degree School (8-12) And 1st Degree school (College, but it's manditory that you take it, unlike today)

Francesco also wanted to create a national goal for the people of Northern Italy to achieve: Unification. Francesco time and time again begged the great powers of Europe to support his efforts to unify Italy and to recognize his government as the true government of all of the Italian Peninsula, except for any territories the Great powers owned. This meant with realitive speculation, and most (including the British Commonwealth) denies the request, as they would rather stay by the other nations they pledged support to in Italy, plus many catholic nations did not want the Papal States to be deestablished, and felt like it was god's wish for an independent state controlled by the Church, not to mention the numerous times the Pope or Papal representatives or bishops in Italy constantly denounced the northern republic, as it had been an ally of France during the European Revolutionary wars, where France tried to unify Italy under a Pro-French Sister Republic, which basically ruined any chance of catholic Nation states of recognizing the Italian Republic. France was the only nation who still had active relations with their sister republic, and even though it officially didn't support it, as they wanted to keep repeating stability and good relations with catholic nations and the Catholics in France, did support the Republic's efforts to unify Italy, and numerous times have French ministers and government representatives said in private and in letters supporting the Republic, and saying that Italian Unification was a key goal of the French Nation.

Anyway that's my proposal so far, I plan on putting some of the extra stuff about recognition and other stuff in the history section and other sections. Anyway, hope you like the proposal! If this gets supported then I'll add on to it! The History Nerd
