Italyball

Italyball, officially known as the Mushroom Kingdomball, Winx Clubball, Italyboot or Auto, Pizza, and Paloneball Italian Republicball, is a sovereign countryball located in Southern Europe, occupying almost all of the Italian peninsula, and the islands of Sicilyball and Sardiniaball. They are bordered by Franceball to the west, Switzerlandball and Austriaball to the north, Sloveniaball to the east, and San Marinoball and Vaticanball inside them as enclaves. They maintain 301,339 km² (301,339 mi²) of clay, making them the 71st largest countryball in Earthball. As of July, 2022, they have a population of 58,906,742 inhabitants, making them the 25th most populous countryball.
Due to his large economy, and great range of allies, Italyball has been able to join many international organisationballs. For instance, the nation has benefited massively from being in the EUball and NATOball, along with being apart of the Union for the Mediterraneanball, OECDball, and like every sovereign countryball, they have joined the UNball.
== History ==
===Origins (1000 BC)===
Long ago, a certain peoplesball named Italicsball lived on Italian Peninsula.
=== Unification (1848 – 1871) ===
The Italian stateballs had been divided for centuries since glorious SPQRball's fall in A.D. 476. However, after the Enlightenment and subsequent Napoleonic Wars, a sense of Italian nationalism and unity began growing among the Italian stateballs, particularly after the revolutions of 1848 that rocked the European continent. In 1859, Sardinia-Piedmontball annexed many northern Italian stateballs, such as Tuscanyball, Modenaball, Massaball, and Parmaball. It then fought a war against Austrian Empireball Habsburgball, with the help of Franceball to liberate Lombardiaball, in exchange for giving Nice and Savoy to Franceball.
Then, in 1860, Sardiniaball led its Redshirts' Expedition of the Thousand to Two Sicilyballs' clay, which was then forced to join the new union, leading Sardiniaball to proclaim itself as Kingdom of Italyball in 1861. It then set about reclaiming "Italia Irredenta" (Unredeemed Italy). In 1866, it teamed up with Prussiaball against Habsburgball again, gaining Venice from Franceball, who had obtained it from Austrian Empireball directly. Then, Italyball turned on Franceball's ally Papal Statesball. At the same time, Franceball was distracted by the north German stateballs during the Franco-Prussian War. Romeball was "liberated" by Italyball and became the new capital, with Papal Statesball protesting vehemently.
=== Expansion (1871 – 1915) ===
Throughout the 1870s and 1880s, Italyball worked to secure diplomatic ties with its neighbors; in 1882, it signed an alliance with German Empireball and Austria-Hungaryball, despite their differences over some Adriatic clay. It signed a naval agreement with UKball in 1887 regarding the Mediterranean passage. It also colonized East Africa in 1889, adopting Eritreaball and Italian Somalilandball. It was, however, beaten to the punch by Franceball, who took Tunisiaball in 1881 before it could. It was, however, shamefully defeated at the Battle of Adowa in 1896 by Ethiopiaball.
By 1900, Italyball had established itself as a world power, taking part in the 1897 Cretan expedition and the international relief expedition of 1900 during the Boxer Rebellion. In 1908, Austria-Hungaryball annexed Bosnia-Herzegovinaball outright from a dying Ottoman Empireball, causing Italyball to declare war for the Dodecanese Islands and Cyrenaciaball (now Libyaball) and its clay in 1911–12. However, it stayed neutral for the first few months of World War I when it broke out in August 1914 because German Empireball and Austria-Hungaryball were the aggressors. Still, the Allies convinced Italyball to join them in 1915 with promises of Dalmatiaball, Trentinoball, Istriaball, and colonies.
=== World War I and Interbellum (1915 – 1939) ===
 Italyball fought hard against Austria-Hungaryball, with whom it was evenly matched in the Julian Alps but was defeated at Caporetto in 1917. It triumphed at Vittorio Veneto in 1918, shortly after which Austria-Hungaryball signed an armistice at Vila Gusti. Italyball had been bankrupted by the war and turned briefly towards socialism when it didn't get all it was expecting at the Peace Conference (it got only Trentinoball, Triesteball, Istriaball, and Zadarball). In 1922, a cancer cell named Benito Mussolini turned Italyball into a fascist and marched on Romeball; it took until 1925 for it to completely abandon democracy. In the 1920s, it pioneered aviation and took part in pacifying a colonial uprising in Libyaball; in 1929, it signed the Lateran Pact with the new Vaticanball; in the 1930s, it began building up a vast armaments industry in preparation for war, as it had to prevent the newly Nazified Germanyball from Anschlussing Austriaball in 1934.
In 1934, following border clashes at Wal-Wal, Italyball manufactured a casus belli for war against Ethiopian Empireball despite a mutual 1928 nonaggression pact. It invaded Ethiopiaball in 1935; as Italyball committed war crimes, it used poison gas and bombers to massacre 8balls, eventually annexing Ethiopiaball to create Italian East Africaball. This led to international outrage, and League of Nationsball condemned Italyball's actions by introducing half-hearted economic sanctions. Italyball left the League and abandoned the democracies ( UKball and Franceball) to formulate an alliance with Nazi Germanyball, aligning themselves in the 1936 Anti-Comintern Pact and Rome-Berlin Axis. They were further drawn into each other by Francoist Spainball in the Spanish Civil War and the lack of Italyball's criticism of Nazi Germanyball's remilitarization of the Rhineland its Anschluss with Austriaball was successfully conducted in March 1938. Nevertheless, it stood by its new ally in the Czechoslovak crisis of September 1938. Nazi Germanyball pressured its friend into adopting racial laws against Jewcubes in 1938.
In 1981, Super Mario made his first appearance on Donkey Kong, then got a game in 1985
=== World War II and Republic (1939 – 1947) ===
In March 1939, Italyball invaded Albaniaball, its protectorate since 1926. It then signed the Pact of Steel with Nazi Germanyball; however, it was left shocked when Nazi Germanyball signed a nonaggression pact with its mortal enemy, Soviet Unionball. The two then jointly invaded Polandball on 1 September 1939. Italyball again stayed neutral for the first stretch of the war. Still, after seeing Nazi Germanyball's blitzkrieg through the Low Countries and the fall of Franceball in mid-1940, Italyball jumped in half-preparedly. Italyball got to occupy parts of Vichy Franceball's clay afterward. However, it got its ass kicked by Greeceball in November 1940 when it tried to invade, resulting in Nazi Germanyball having to come to bail it out the following year with a Balkan campaign. Italyball occupied most of Greeceball, Yugoslaviaball, and some southern Balkan countryballs afterward. UKball had also bombed its fleet at Taranto.
Meanwhile, in 1943, UKball and Free Franceball had liberated Abyssiniaball in East Africa. However, they occupied Italian East Africaball and Libyaball. Its forces were hopeless in North Africa until Nazi Germanyball sent its panzers to help it out. Then, it was forced to send its troops to help invade Soviet Unionball. Then, USAball and UKball kicked them out of North Africa altogether, despite Italyball's resistance (most notably, the legendary Folgore Division), saving the entire Axis army and was internationally acclaimed, such as by Winston Churchill and Erwin Rommell, despite Allied propaganda trying to hide it. Eventually, the Allies landed in Sardiniaball and Sicilyball by mid-1944, pushing up into Campaniaball. At this point, Italyball had spent its resources and was tired of the war. It dropped fascism in the coup of 25 Luglio 1944 and signed an armistice. Then, Nazi Germanyball occupied the north of its clay and created a puppet state, Italian Social Republicball, to continue the war as the Allies struggled up the Italian peninsula, with battles at Monte Cassio. Royal Italyball and Italian Social Republicball were in civil war; they teamed up only once to kick Franceball's ass, trying to occupy Aosta Valleyball. Romeball was liberated in mid-1944, but Italian Social Republicball kept fighting until Nazi Germanyball surrendered in May 1945.
After the war disaster, which had wrecked Italyball's clay and industry, it decided to dispose of the monarchy in a referendum in 1947, after having lost its colonies and having to pay reparations. So, in 1947, Kingdom of Italyball became a republic.
=== Modern Era (1947 – Present) ===
 Italyball, after becoming a republic by popular referendum in 1947, started rebuilding its economy and industry based on loans from the Marshall Plan. It narrowly avoided a socialist victory in the elections and became affiliated with USAball and NATOball against Soviet Unionball. It was forced to give up all its colonies to UKball, Franceball, and Ethiopiaball except Italian Somalilandball. It had to give up Albaniaball, the Dalmatian coastline, and some of Istria to Yugoslaviaball. It also had to pay reparations and was prohibited from owning heavy-duty military machines for some time.
In 1951, Italyball was invited to join ECSCball, which developed into EECball in 1956 and 1957 via the Treaty of Rome with Franceball, West Germanyball, and the Low Countries. In 1960, Italyball gave Somaliaball its independence; then, it allowed USAball to place strategic missiles on its clay during the Cold War (the Jupiter Missiles). Those were removed following the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962. It also got rid of Mafia activities in the 1970s. Unfortunately, the late 1960s began a bad time for Italyball. The years of lead were a terroristic period in which many people died by mortal attempts.
 Italyball developed a modern economy in the 1970s and 1980s, producing luxury brands like Ferrari. It joined EUball in 1993 as a founding member of EECball after the Maastricht Treaty. It partakes in only some coalitions to keep peace in the Middle East under NATOball. It is a G20 and G7 member and the third most-developed EU member. Italyball now produces luxury sunglasses and good food and patrols the southern coast to look for 8ball and Middle Eastern refugees.
Together with its siblings Franceball and Spainball, Italyball hosts the three Grand Tours of professional cycling. In addition, Italyball proudly hosts the Giro d'Italia every May (its siblings host the Tour and the Vuelta, respectively).
On 21 February 2020, two clusters of COVID-19 infections were found in Lombardyball and Venetoball. As a result, Italyball locked itself down, and every citizen forced to quarantine for 14 days can now leave their homes. This became a serious threat to Italyball. As of 22 February 2022, there are over 12.5 million COVID-19 cases and 153,000 deaths. Italyball's healthcare infrastructure has been heavily strained and faces its worst crisis since World War II.
== Personality ==
 Italyball tries to be friends with everyone. However, despite its trying to be friendly with everyone, it still has some resemblances to it during the fascist era, which sometimes causes trouble. Although it is one of Europe's biggest powers, it doesn't seem to care about most things but is very serious about irredentism and taking back all the stolen lands from Croatiaball ( Istriaball and Dalmatiaball) and Franceball ( Savoyball, Niceball, and especially Corsicaball), who loves it in return as it loves every beautiful thing.
It's usually calm and relaxed, but when its fascist counterpart takes its place, it becomes very violent and forces everyone who uses the communistic "u" instead of the Latin "v" to drink the so-called "Olio di Ricino" (castor oil) used by it to torture communists during the fascist era. It's furious if someone insults its favorite football team, so mad that it can even send everyone to the hospital (Italyball: Of course I am violent, I have the blood of Roman legionaries in the veins! Capiche!) It does not like it when people think that all it does is eat pizza and pasta! Italyball drinks wine, too.

* Austria - A good friend, but please remove your troops from the border! And no, I won't give you South Tyrolball. I also defeated you 2–1 at UEFA Euro 2020. It was a difficult game, to be honest.

* Germania - We used to be deathly enemies since the days of Ancient Rome (which it killed with the help of gulasch) We enjoyed a special relationship after my unification. We were also Axis powers. Now, we are members of the EU and NATO! But I also gave them Kimi Antonelli to finally return the favour for Michael Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel.
* Etiopia - It hated me because I occupied it and tried to colonize it; now let's get along and trade with each other. I supported it in the dam dispute and it even trusted me to help it build the dam. I like your coffee and your cultures. I tried to rebuild one of its churches from the historical times of Axum.

Mahmood is better than Duncan Laurence and Charles Leclerc is better than Max Verstappen! Oh, you congratulated me for winning Eurovision in your clay? Grazie! And don't worry, I won't bully Palestineball.
* Norvegia - The sibling of Fake Sanremo. I get annoyed when it says that Leif Erikson was the first to explore North America instead of Christopher Columbus. Also, Grandiosa Pizza sucks! On the other hand, we collaborated to be the first two countryballs to get to the North Pole - I gave it the airship while it directed the expedition.
* Tunisia - My African relative. We were sworn enemies at the time of Ancient Rome. However, we are getting along well and I am teaching it how to make pizza. Sometimes, it calls me its parent. Sometimes, though, I get angry at saying that Malta was its sibling. Tunisia also sent me refugees. It claims that Pantelleriapalla and the Sicilyball belong to it. Therefore, I will give you Pantelleria only if you tell your sibling that I am its real parent.
* Palestina - It hates my friend (though I get why it does hate it) but I like it and so do most of my people. One of my former Prime Ministers had publicly voiced its support for Palestine back in the Seventies. Here, have-a some-a pizza and aides! But why do you hate my friend?
* Russia - It is a good friend of my Vaticanball. It also named the city of Togliatti in honor of Italian politician Palmiro Togliatti, but I'm confused about what to say when the EU curses you. Russia also helped me during my suffering with the bats. Russia has made New Year's Eve specials inspired by Italian TV of the 70s. However, I do not support it on the situation of Crimea; it is a rightful Ukrainian clay! And if it doesn't stop with its invasion I won't buy its gas anymore!
* Stati Uniti - YOU MUST BE THE WORST PIZZA MAKER OF THEM ALL! Many Italians have emigrated to USAball. For example, secretary Pompey's father was also from my land. I wish you good luck with your new president. But can you stop meddling in my affairs so much? 
* Vietnam - My relationship with it is normal and most Vietnamese like my cartoons, especially the Winx Club series. We both hate Chinaball for spreading COVID-19! But why do you call me "Ý"?!
