Kingdom of Piranze

== Introduction ==
The Kingdom of Piranze is the Official Nation of Lenny George Mapping, it is a Constitutional Monarchy based in North-West Italy, Savoy, Nice, and multiple Mediterranean islands.
==History==
In the early 1700s, The Duchy of Tuscany had a succession crisis. To avoid a full blown civil war occurring, a young boy, barely 16, but a descendant of the Medici family, was chosen to be king, and for 2 years a regency council was created to protect and rule for the young king. One of the regents was savy Sovyard duke by the name of Mario Astuto who noticed an opportunity to consolidate power in Tuscany. Within months, most of the regents had disappeared, either bribed or assassinated, and the duke blocked all proposals to appoint new ones. However, on December 2nd 1714, 2 days before young king Phillipe Medici was to be crowned, Astuto was found attempting to poison the boys wine. He was immediately put on trial for treason, and executed days later, but the now 18 year old king accused the Sovyard Government of giving their support to Astuto, and tensions began to boil.

The Verona crisis is an ongoing conflict mainly fought between Piranze and Venice. It had three main factors that lead to it sparking. Venice recognising, allying and militarlly funding the unrecognised breakaway state of Romagna. A political and economic rivalry based on trade in the Mediterranean. And a decade long dispute over who controlled the city of Verona.
On April 28th 2016, Piranze invaded Venice and captured Verona, expecting to break the status quo in the Adriatic* and forcing Venice to capitulate. They tried to march on Venice but were beaten back at the decisive battle of Padua.
Romagna declared war on Piranze on August 3rd, only to be invaded hours after, losing Mantua and forcing the government into exile in Venice. With reinforcements in Durres strained Albania decided to declare war and attempt to throw out the Venetians there, Croatia soon followed but failed to secure Rijeka.
Many nations economically tied to Venice decided to back them, Belize just wanted to come along for the ride. France, trying to repair relations with South Germany after the Alcase war and wanting to maintain the balance of power through a Western European alliance, backed Piranze once nations started picking sides. Naples and Rome were neutral in the conflict, having their trade affairs with Venice and Piranze done separately in the first place.
* Venice had disputes with Albania (over Durres), Croatia (over Istra and Dubrovnik) and the South German Federation (Over Trento and Fruili), Piranze expected and encouraged these countries to respond.
