Italia

Italia is a large nation led by Revontulete, Vaquiera and the Italian Senate. It was the first state to reach 30 members and has so far been known as the strongest group worldwide.

## History

### First Formation of Italia

On the 18th of September 2021, Italia was led by Vaquiera, Revontulete and Pameris - forming the first three of the Royal Family under the Silva-Mirian Dynasty. This sprouted the beginning of the Firenze-led Italia, producing the state with a Minister of Defence - TacticalTwinkiee. Upon creating this quasi-parliament, Firenze requested Roma and Genoa to merge with them into one state, forming the actual state of Italia.

Agreeing, on the 19th of September, the three cities merged together to form Italia - a constitutional monarchy with power split into three equal amounts, wielded by the Monarch, the Premier and the Senate. This creates the very first constitution within the server and outlined civil liberties, governmental policies and even the way the state could be led, the executive powers each member had and also ensured a legal system would be introduced.

### State Developments

Quickly growing, Italia reached the 20 member mark first under Revontulete and Vaquiera, and later, on the 30th of September, the 30 member mark.
