Kingdom of Italy

The Kingdom of Italy (Italian: Regno d'Italia) was a constitutional monarchy that was formed after Victor Emmanuel II was declared King of Italy in 1861. In 1922, Benito Mussolini led a march on Rome that resulted in his installation as prime minister and the establishment of a fascist dictatorship in Italy. The Kingdom signed the Pact of Steel in 1939, forming the Axis Powers and an alliance with Nazi Germany and the Empire of Japan.
The Kingdom entered World War II in 1940, suffering defeats in the Soviet Union and North Africa. Eventually, after the Allies landed in Sicily, the government surrendered. Germany then occupied northern and central Italy, establishing the Italian Social Republic and reappointing Mussolini as dictator. Italy became embroiled in a civil war, and fascism was eventually purged from the Kingdom. In 1946, the Kingdom was dissolved, and the Italian Republic was founded in its place.
The Kingdom possessed a normal agency known as the Royal Institute of Italian Anomalies, founded by King Victor Emmanuel II and taken over by Mussolini after his rise to power. Upon the Kingdom's dissolution, RIDIA was transformed into the Italian Branch of the SCP Foundation, though the remaining fascists would split to form the Fascist Council of the Occult and seek to establish an Italian Empire.
