Before Doomsday, Italy was one of the largest members of NATO. However on Doomsday it was butchered by the Warsaw Pact and has seen few successor states. Yet, Tuscany, San Marino, and the Alpine Confederation, among others, have reported otherwise.
Today, the following nation-states - 5 Italian states, and 4 that are part-Italian - control territory in was was once Italy:
The Alpine Confederation, based in what was once Switzerland and Austria, in the years after Doomsday has annexed a fair portion of northern Italy. Even more of it is policed by its soldiers, including the Republics of Venice and Genoa, even though they have their own military - both are Alpine puppets in all but name. It is a very cool supporter of the IPA, and was instrumental in stopping the Sicilian advance in the First Sicily War.
The Republic of Genoa, a nation based out of the city of Genoa in Northwestern Italy, is a member of the IPA, and under heavy Alpine influence. They have been expanding their borders of late, and control most of Liguria. Past Sicilian attacks upon shipping have left them angered at that state.
Malta, having weathered Doomsday intact, peacefully annexed several tiny Italian islands south of Sicily. It currently forms part of the Malta-Lampedusa-Corridor, under a League of Nations mandate, and hosts a ADC military garrison and base.
The city-state of Monaco has taken a protectorate over the western areas of the Liguria region in the 1990s.
Survivors in small towns, villages, and suburbs Northwest of the destroyed city of Rome have set up a small survivor state as well, called New Rome. This small band of settlements is just barely getting by.
San Marino has expanded into the nearby Italian countryside since Doomsday, even taking hold of several ports in the process. A member of the IPA, they have formed part of the border against the Sicilians.
Mafia dominate the Sicily Republic, though it has been moderating in recent years. They claim to be the official successor to the Italian Republic, though others dispute that claim. Also, they hold extreme imperialist ambitions, going so far as claiming all of Tunisia and Libya, and even the city of Monaco. After an attempt to conquer all of Italy in the late 1980s, stopped by a Northern Italian coalition and Alpine Army units, they pulled back to a line near the city of Florence, where they have remained since. The relatively recent formation of the IPA against them is troubling, and they have been preparing to strike north and try and take what they believe theirs. In addition to their Italian holdings they also control Tunisia.
Tuscany, or the Tuscan Republic, is a survivor state in north-central Italy. While the official capital is Florence, it is currently based inside the city of Prato since 1989. Around half of its claimed territory is under occupation by the Sicilians, and it is known that they are trying to make arrangements to rectify the situation, which is part of their reasoning for the IPA. They have also recently joined the ADC.
Last but not least is the Republic of Venice. Another state policed by the Alpine confederation, they have annexed significant portions of the coastal regions of Slovenia and Croatia. A member of the IPA, they moved the administrative capital, even though it is officially Venice, to Trieste in response to the Sicilian advances in 1989, and would like to get back at them for it.
Reports also indicate that the Confederation of Greece is interested in obtaining portions of the Italian "boot" should war break out.
