Italy (also known as Italian Empire or sometimes Kingdom of Italy) was a fascist dictatorship nation, situated in southern Europe and having its own possessions in Africa and Russia.


Greater Italia[]

The "Greater Italia" plan was initiated when Benito Mussolini took over the throne. The plan represents partial restoration of Roman Empire. Even though Benito did not really care about restoring it, he thinks that this is a good justification of a war against the nations. The plan has been changed many times since 1936, as many of the nations were joining Axis Powers.

Rulers[]

From the second Italian Empire republic, until 1955 it was ruled by Benito Mussolini.

From 1955 to 1957 it was ruled by Pietro Badoglio. From 1956 he got seriously ill, and it was known that he would die in a few years. In 1957, he has died from cancer.

Currently, from 1957, Italy is ruled by Carlo Scorza.

Possible successor is Aldo Vidussoni (member of National Fascist Party of Italy).
