Italy, officially the Italian Commonwealth (Italian: Cosanostra Italiana), also known as the Land of the Boot and the Land of the Mafia, is a state and country in southern Europe. Located on the Italian (Appenine) Peninsula, it is washed by the Mediterranean Sea on all sides except the north, and also has the island of Sicily. In the north it borders the Republic of Venice and the True Celtic Syndicate. It is one of the earliest and strongest states in Europe. The country's history begins when by the 5th year AA the mafia known as the Cosa Nostra had already seized power in Sicily after the apocalypse, effectively creating a state structure. In 25, with the Mafia already entrenched on the continent, they defeated the Vatican and annexed Rome, and the Pope recognized the Mafia as the rightful heir to all of Italy, leading to the creation of Italy. Gradually with the increase in numbers the state could no longer be just a service to the Mafia, as many were not happy with their rule and the younger generations did not join the Mafia, which led to economic changes, so in 57 Perestroika took place when the country became a republic with elected government and the Mafia became essentially a political elite and capitalist class in one person. At this point there is an electoral limit, so in fact only 40% of the population can vote, which includes Cosa Nostra and some of the "new rich". Italy is governed by the principles of moderate libertarianism with the presence of "good" mafiosi who share resources with the people and "evil" ones who conversely use force to squeeze resources.
Form of government[]
Italy's form of government can be described as a bourgeois unitary mixed republic. The right to choose as well as the right to be elected is restricted by the property tax, as only those who make a profit without being employed, i.e. businessmen, have these rights. All businessmen, including large, medium and small businesses, as well as peasants, traders, freelancers, and syndicalists, have the right to vote and the right to be elected. In fact, it depends only on the fact that you make a profit and do not give away your surplus value, i.e. you do not work for business or the state, but for yourself, i.e. you are a businessman or a free laborer-syndicalist. It doesn't matter how much you earn, whether you have hired workers or act on your own, whether you farm on your own or in a collective, or where you spend your profits. This allows voting rights to cover a wide range of producers and traders, from large corporations to drug sellers and workers who own their own jobs. These people make up about 40% of Italy's population, called the Political Nation, and have a special Surplus Value Card, which is issued by the state when you register your business. This card is needed to participate in elections or run for office and can only be obtained by legally registering a business. At the same time, the taxes for members of the Political Nation are several times higher than for other citizens. The Political Nation is part of the Civic Nation, and the Civic Nation also includes the Proletarian Nation, that is, those Italian citizens who are wage laborers and who have no political rights. Statistically, the majority of the Political Nation are descendants of the Cosa Nostra Mafia and their descendants, Sicilian in origin, and they are mostly owners of large and medium-sized businesses, while the rest of this nation are mostly those who joined the Mafia during its expansion on the continent and their descendants. Because of lobbying, big business, although its representatives are a minority in the Political Nation, has as much influence on politics as everyone else combined. The top representatives of churches, if allowed by the state, are also representatives of the Political Nation, as the church is seen as a business, e.g. from the Catholic Church, the Pope and Cardinals are considered businessmen, while Archbishops, Bishops and Priests are already workers. Representatives of the Proletarian Nation may be managers or servants in governmental structures, such as regional courts, medicine, the army, the police, educational and scientific institutions, but not in the highest authority, i.e. the Council of Ministers, the Senate or the office of the President.
The highest legislative body is the Senate. The Senate consists of two chambers: the upper Congress and the lower Diet. The Congress is the body of representation of the regions of Italy, it consists of 10 Congressmen who are elected in the 10 provinces of Italy by local administrations known as prefectures. The Diet is the body of general representation of the Political Nation, it consists of 100 people who are elected in Italy's single-member districts, of which there are one hundred in total, one representative per district, which are mostly represented by either individual cities or aggregations of villages and small towns. The two chambers of the Senate sit in the same building opposite each other, sharing a common president known as the Chairman of the Senate. Only the Diet has the power to create and propose bills, and Congress can only agree or reject them. Decisions are made by voting through an absolute majority in both chambers, and the consent of both chambers is needed to approve a law or act. The head of state is the President, who is elected by a general vote of the representatives of the Political Nation in 100 single-member districts. The term of the President is 5 years. The President is the head of the government, the Council of Ministers, which consists of ministers and is appointed by the President either independently or on the proposal of the Senate. The President also administers the Council of Ministers through executive decrees. The political system is multi-party with the reflection of economic competition in the struggle of different parties. There is an Office of the President to assist him in his administration. If the President dies in office, his powers are temporarily transferred to the Chairman of the Senate.
