The Italian Peninsula Alliance was a military and economic alliance between the nations of Genoa, San Marino, Tuscany, the Alpine Confederation and Venice. It was formed on January 2, 2010, and evolved into the Italian Federation on June 1, 2016.
Members during the Second Sicilian War[]
- During this time, the partisans of Emilia-Romagna fought under Alpine chain of command
Roles[]
Tuscany provides munitions, dried foods, and fuel, San Marino provides strategics, organization of supplies, and paper goods, while Venice and Genoa provide naval equipment. The Alpine Confederation aids the members in most other respects, especially relating to machinery, electronic equipment, sparing as it is, and logistical support above all else.
History[]
Creation[]
Since the expansion of Sicily, many Italian successor states were harassed, threatened, and physically attacked for refusing to join its attempt at re-forming the Italian Republic. Three of these survivor states - Genoa, Monaco and Northern Tuscany - decided to pool their resources for a united offensive following discussions in the Alpine Confederation. In order to combat the Sicilians and to provide aid, bring peace, and create stable governments for other nation states, the Italian Peninsula Alliance was formed. Monaco would later withdraw, and San Marino joined in their place.
On January 2, 2010, following the start of the Second Sicily War and the weakening of the Sicilian defenses, the three national leaders signed the Italian Peninsula Alliance. Approving of the proposed alliance, the Alpine Confederation requested to join, along with their protectorate Venice. Genoa, San Marino and Tuscany emphatically agreed, feeling the addition of the northern powerhouse to the alliance would be a major boon, and its backing a major boost overall.
In February of 2010, after the Confederation and Venice had moved volunteers from the north and the Venetian military to the front lines, the IPA attacked the Sicilians. While not as much headway as hoped, by the end of the war they had managed to force the Sicilians back to a rough line running across the peninsula through the cities of Montalto di Castro, Corciano, Fabriano, and Osimo. Genoan marines also managed to liberate the Tuscan islands, free the main settlement of New Rome behind the Sicilian lines, and aid in the liberation of Sardinia. A Alpine-policed neutral zone has been installed along the front lines, and the IPA membership has been given control of a mandate for Sardinia, with Corsica to be aiding them in small amounts.
Second Sicily War[]
The IPA has a close relationship with ADC, thanks to the membership of the Alpine Confederation. Membership in the ADC is also a goal that the members of the IPA generally strive for.
They have also finished fighting in the Second Sicily War with the ADC, freeing parts of Italy, expanding their territories, liberating Southern Tuscany, and were also given a mandate over Sardinia. Territories not claimed outright by either Tuscany or San Marino have been divided up into zones of occupation, and what to do with these will be decided in the future, though squabbling is expected.
The distribution of aid, reparation of electrical and watered services, creation of an armed forces, and evacuation for those not willing to stay in New Rome has also been a major motive, especially now that they have freed it.It was known that the Federation of Greece and Corsica were willing to join the effort in some capacity, but the Italian powers are unwilling to do such a offensive move to Sicily at this time, even after the end of the Second Sicily War.
Evolution[]
As time went on, the Italian Peninsular Alliance's post-war headquarters in San Marino (and its port in Cattolica) became the focal point for other branching regional diplomatic discussions, treaties and sorties. The advent of the Corsican accession would coincide with the Alpine departure, and Emilian accession to the Alpine Confederation along with other factors; the estrangement of the Venetian party due to the Alpine withdrawal from the Alliance (in part to maintain its pre-war facade of neutrality, in part due to a concern on some Alpine politicians end to not want to bolster the Italians forces too much) along with the heavy Corsican, San Marinese and Maltese presence in the ensuing commercial milieu felt that the Alliance was not truly "Italian" anymore, and belonged to all of the people of the Mediterranean. Thus, both the Italian Federation and the Mediterranean Union can trace their origin to this confluence of activity courtesy of the IPA in the post-war reconstruction.
In 2016, the remaining offices of the Italian Peninsula Alliance were absorbed by the Italian Federation which replaced it. Appendix offices have since been converted into regional headquarters for the Mediterranean Union, moving away from military defense and instead "seeking to secure the peace and prosperity of all the people of the Mediterranean through court, culture and commerce".
