Italy (Italian: Italia), officially known as the Italian Confederation or the Second Roman Empire, is a vast transcontinental country spanning parts of Europe, Africa, North America, and a claimed territory in Antarctica. Despite remaining behind China and the Swaraj by population number as of overall statistics from c. 1900, Italy is by far the largest country by area, having started a series of rapid expansion back in 1590 with a harmonious expedition to New Humanity (OTL: Australia), a former region that gained independence alongside Canada on July 1, 1701.
Italy was unified on March 29, 1503 by Duke Ludovico Sforza, concluding the Italian Wars of Unification that had lasted since 1494, although pre-unification Italy (especially capital city Rome as a country) has a centuries-old history dating as far back as the legendary founding of Rome on April 21, 753 BC, if not older. Either way, Italy's history spans thousands, if not tens of thousands, of years.
Although it was one of the European Council's founding members, it and the United States of America are currently the only countries with North American territory to be a part of it.
