| 14 | A liberal pan-Italian republic formed by right-wing liberal/nationalist republicans in the Italian Civil War, currently controlling Lombardy and Venetia. Saved from the Red onslaught by Austrian intervention, the post-war republic initially existed as the Republic of Lombardy-Venetia, a part of Austria's puppet Italian Federation. It has restored its pan-Italian ambitions after the Federation collapsed in 1927, though the heavy Austrian influences remained. |
| 15 | ---- |
| 16 | * AllohistoricalAllusion: Italy led by the National Populist ANI (Legionnaire Italy) is furiously nationalist and militarist, and wants to centralize power (having ANI in power instantly shuts down any future elections), eliminate the socialists, remove foreign influence, and in the long run, possibly reclaim all Greater Italian lands and form an Italian Empire. [[UsefulNotes/FascistItaly Sounds similar to a real-life 20th century Italian state?]] |
| 17 | * EnemyMine: Austria is an enemy to Italian nationalists, but the Republicans were forced to work with Austria in order to halt the Socialist Republic of Italy and prevent their own defeat. Similarly, while Austria can easily crush the Italian Republic, they find it useful to have it as a buffer against the Syndicalists. |
| 18 | * FullCircleRevolution: Austrian pressure can force the Italian Republic to return to a monarchy, and can even crack down on Republicanism after that, effectively resetting all the efforts of the Republicans. |
| 19 | * OccupiersOutOfOurCountry: The Associazione Nazionalista Italiana (Italian Nationalist Association) is fiercely nationalist, revanchist, and anti-Austrian. They will sooner or later go to war with Austria to remove them from Italian lands. |
| 20 | * PuppetState: Austria puppets the Republican government in all but name; when the socialists are defeated, Austria might decide to backstab Italy by restoring the divided Italian states or force an Austrian king onto the Italian throne. However, there's also a fairly good chance that Austria will pull out of Italy early on, leaving the Republic relatively free of their influence. |

| 50 | * AllohistoricalAllusion: Many of Legionnaire Italy's events and focuses are directly based on Fascist Italy: |
| 51 | ** Upon coming to power, Ciano instantly ditches the Prime Minister title for "[[UsefulNotes/BenitoMussolini Il Duce]]". |
| 52 | ** Instead of Blackshirts, Legionnaire Italy has [[StateSec Blueshirts]], which is the exact same organization as the Blackshirts are in reality ([[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackshirts Voluntary Militia for National Security]]), just founded during the Italian Civil War. The blue shirts worn by the Blueshirts, like the black shirts worn by the Blackshirts, are based on the uniforms of the ''Arditi''. |

| 54 | ** The [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OVRA OVRA]] SecretPolice is created, though its name is changed from Anti-Fascism to Anti-Nationalism. |
| 55 | ** One of the Italian State's focuses is called [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_economic_battles Four Economic Battles]], based on economic policies taken by Fascist Italy in reality. |
| 56 | * TheCoup: If he did not won the elections, Ciano may still come to power by marching with his Blueshirts on the capital of Milan. |
| 57 | * PresidentForLife: After coming to power through a democratic election, Ciano stops elections and turns the Italian Republic into a far-right ultranationalist dictatorship. |
| 58 | * ThePurge: One of the Italian State's focuses is "Purge Red Menace", which involves removing any civil servants with socialist connections from power. Another later called ''Purge Opposition'' completes its work by removing all opposition to the state. |
| 59 | * PuttingOnTheReich: The Italian State recreates many of the elements of Fascist Italy in Kaiserreich's timeline. |
| 60 | * SecretPolice: The Italian State creates the OVRA to arrest any dissidents and ensure supremacy of the national populist government. |
| 61 | * TyrantTakesTheHelm: After being elected as the Prime Minister, Ciano shuts down democracy and ushers in a new age of radical ultranationalism. |
| 62 | * VideoGameCrueltyPunishment: Veneto will always rebel if the ANI comes to power. |

Backed by the Third International, the republic actively prepares for a future war to unify Italy under socialist republicanism. |

| 210 | * AllohistoricalAllusion: While there hasn't been a Socialist Republic of Italy (RSI), there has been an [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_Social_Republic Italian Social Republic]] (RSI). It was the puppet state led by Mussolini after the Nazis forcibly re-installed him. Mussolini's path include changing the country's name to Italian Social Republic and adopt the same flag as the OTL regime. |
| 211 | * BookBurning: During the Cultural Revolution, a large bonfire is lit in Florence, where people burn reactionary books and historical culture. |

| 236 | ** If the SRI is defeated by Republican Italy, after reunification, Mussolini will be sentenced to death as a traitor in the Verona Trials. In reality, the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verona_trial Verona Trial]] is a trial by Fascist Italy against members of the Grand Council of Fascism who voted to remove Mussolini from power in 1943. |
| 237 | ** Mussolini's path ends with him adopting the title of Duce and creating the PNF. |

| 245 | * SignificantWardrobeShift: Mussolini's portrait will change to one of him wearing a blackshirt uniform after his rule becomes secured. |
| 246 | * TyrantTakesTheHelm: Mussolini taking power will dismantle SRI's democracy and either concentrate power to himself or impose the principles of sansepolcro on the SRI. |
| 247 | * {{Warhawk}}: Like in real life, Mussolini is a huge militarist, and justifies his positions not only with nationalistic rhetoric, but also with the purpose of defence of the revolution. In the game itself, Mussolini has a "Warmonger" trait. |

| 317 | A pre-''Risorgimento'' state in Central Italy diretly ruled by the Pope, restored by Austria in the post-war Treaty of Trieste as a part of the Italian Federation (over territory controlled by the disunited South Italian royalists). Closely aligned with Two Sicilies after the Federation's collapse, the Papal States' existence is directly threatened by the anti-theocratic Syndicalist forces to the north. |
| 318 | ---- |
| 319 | * AllohistoricalAllusion: |
| 320 | ** Pope Pius XI issues the encyclical ''Quadragesimo quinto anno'' ("In the 45th Year") in 1936, an allusion to ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadragesimo_anno Quadragesimo anno]]'' Pius XI issued in 1931 in real life. The contents of the encyclical are identical, except that communism is replaced with syndicalism. |
| 321 | ** All four potential successors to Pius XI also took part in the Conclave held for the real Pius XI's succession, with the historical winner being Eugenio Pacelli (Pius XII). |
| 322 | * ChurchMilitant: The Papal State has a small army in the form of the Palatine Honour Guard, as well as a navy in 1936. They can develop an air force too and become a respectable force on Italy. |
| 323 | * RedScare: Pius XII and Julius IV can issue an encyclical to condemn syndicalism through the focus "Condemn Mob Rule". |
| 324 | * TheTheocracy: Rather obviously, the Catholic Pope is the absolute monarch of the Papal States. Under Stephen X or John XXIII it can be downplayed, as they can cede most temporal power to an elected assembly and associated secular institutions, but they still maintain their authority over the church and position as head of state over the Papal States. |

| 361 | Achille Liénart is the the Archbishop of Lille, papal name John XXIII. He is a social reformer, and supports trade unionism and the Worker-Priest movement. |
| 362 | ---- |
| 363 | * AllohistoricalAllusion: There was an actual OTL pope using this name; they're not the same person (OTL's John XXIII was an Italian prelate named Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli, who reigned from 1958 to 1963). |
| 364 | * {{Cincinnatus}}: Like Stephen X, John XXIII can cede his civil powers to the people of Rome. |
| 365 | * HistoricalHeroUpgrade: The real Liénart is a somewhat controversial figure thanks to his active support to Vichy France and his absence of opposition to Vichy's antisemitic policies. In ''Kaiserreich'', he's a moderate socialist able to reform the Papal State without bloodshed. |
| 366 | * InternalReformist: Liénart is politically a moderate socialist, and he can create Christian trade unions to reform the system without creating a revolution. |

| 376 | * {{Warhawk}}: Julius IV is by far the most pro-war Pope, and can declare the Eleventh Crusade on the Syndicalists. |
| 377 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: Julius IV has good intentions of trying to preserve Catholic order when it's under existential threat from the Syndicalists. However, he is very aggressive about it. |

| 388 | A pre-''Risorgimento'' kingdom restored by Austria in the Treaty of Trieste as a part of the Italian Federation. It was restored on the mainland royalist-controlled areas in the Italian Civil War, the royalists having been forced into Austrian alignment due to internal disunity. The kingdom currently pursues independent external policies, having withdrew from the Federation in 1926 in reaction to Austria's cowardice against the socialists' military agitation. |

| 406 | The remnants of the House of Savoy who formerly ruled Italy, now reduced to a "restored" pre-''Risorgimento'' Savoyard kingdom. During the civil war, Duke Emanuele Filiberto claimed kingship after the abdication of King Victor Emmanuel and his son Umberto, but royalist disunity forced him to work with Austria, turning him into the King of Sardinia under the Italian Federation. With the Federation collapsed in 1926, Sardinia has rekindled its Entente connections, and still holds some hope for a chance to restore the Kingdom of Italy. |
| 407 | ----- |
| 408 | * DeadlyEuphemism: One focus for Sardinia is "Disappear Our Rivals", in which the King approves for all members of the opposition to be given a "Mediterranean Cruise". |
| 409 | * RightfulKingReturns: Their goal is to restore the rule of the Savoys to Italy as a whole, or at least Piedmont. |
| 410 | * TheStarscream: If Germany takes over Piedmont, they have the option to offer it to Sardinia in exchange for them leaving the Entente and joining the Reichspakt, making them only one of two starting members of the Entente able to betray their allies without having their original government be overthrown beforehand (the other is National France). Needless to say, the rest of the Entente don't take kindly to this. |
| 411 | * VestigialEmpire: While true for the entirety of the starting members of the Entente, it is especially true for them. Sardinia is the sole remaining possession of the House of Savoia, who ruled Sardina-Piedmont and then Italy. While civil war engulfed the peninsula immediately after Italian capitulation, Savoia was able to establish a court here outside the reach of the Austrians and the Syndicalist rebels. |
