Description
The Republic of the Two Sicilies (Italian: Repubblica delle Due Sicilie). Or as is simply called Repubblica Meridionale is a unitary republic that controls the island of Sicily and mainland Italy up to the northern edges of the former region of Lazio, Umbria and Marche. Since the second Sicilian War the republic has changed a lot, entering into diplomatic relations with the other Italian states.

The Sicilian Republic was born out of the cooperation between the regional authorities and the gentlemen of the clans of Palermo and that of Eastern Sicily, giving born to a very singular and peculiar state.

The story of the republic started with Doomsday. The 25 September of 1983 the world would be shaken by the atomic bombs of Third World War, in Sicily the regional government would struggle to keep Sicily afloat and also with the fear that different factions of Cosa Nostra might attempt to seize control for themselves, thus creating revolts and a possible civil war on the island. In order to avoid this, the government contacted the surviving clans of the Second Mafia War and also those of Eastern Sicily, outside of Cosa Nostra, the clans will ally themselves with the government to take off Totò Riina and his clan of Corleonesi.

In return, the government will offer amnesty to any clan that will side with them and that will help to keep Sicily with a somewhat level of stability for the time being.

With the amnesty, they become clean citizens, free to engage in politics or in the economical market openly. After the unification of Italy in 1989, the government will sell much of the pre-war public infrastructures to private companies, now controlled by the ex-mafia bosses, certain companies will even arrive to have entire monopolies on certain sectors or have few competitions (Like the economical situation in the United States or Japan with the Zaibatsu system.), anx expanding into foreign markets that aren’t developed like that of Southern France or that are highly developed and eager to trade with other nations, thus generating a huge amount of wealth with the exportation of goods and services.

This will also affect the liberalization and legalization of drugs and brothels once more, in this way clans that were associated with the drugs’ business will be able to sell them to the public in complete legality, creating a drug tourism in the following years, after the liberalization in the early 90s.

The republic would change in the early 2000s, specifically in 2002 when the politician Paolo De Stefano, head of the Fiamma Tricolore party, a nationalistic and right-wing party would manage to win the national elections, thanks to his pro-Italian and nationalistic platform, which called for the proper reunification of Italy under a new social order and for freeing their brothers and sisters in Northern Italy, under 'Swiss imperialism'. Tricolour Flame manage to win the presidential elections thanks to the 'softness and diplomatic approach' of the Liberal Party, heir of the deceased Democrazia Cristiana, headed by the ex-bosses of Cosa Nostra and other centre-right politicians, supported by various other political organizations.

In the following years De Stefano and his Tricolour Flame would manage to establish a regime much more in line to that of a dictatorship, with the elimination of several concessions and rights like the autonomy of Southern Tuscany, the abolition of the right to speech and to strike, the elimination of several private broadcasting companies not in line with the party's view and the adoption of elements inspired by the fascism (Like self sufficiency and campaign that promote the increase of newbabies and the creation of new families and so on). In 2004 the regime will get himself involved in the Alboran War, where it supported the Francoist Spanish State, a state created around the port of Mercia and for strengthen his position in the Strait of Gibraltar and in the Balearic Islands after their occupation the last year, during the same year it would occupy the island of Sardinia due to disagreements about the creation of a Sicilian naval base on the island.

And also due to the caos in Tunisia the Sicilians were able of establishing a client state there, helping Zine Ben Ali to gain power and to establish a dictatorship, this allowed the Sicilians to control economically the country and to establish a base on the Cape Bon peninsula. In 2007 due to the active hostility of the republic the European community would form the Atlantic Defense Community, in order to deterrence any future Sicilian expansion, but in 2010 war would break out between Sicily and Greece, over the several air space violations of both countries in the Strait of Otranto, the war would end in 2011 after the lost of Sardinia, Southern Tuscany and parts of Apulia. Several months after the end of the war the armed forces, with the support of the Liberal Party and other factors would stage a coup d'etat against Paolo De Stefano and his regime, after the coup the armed forces in cooperation with the Liberal Party ruled the county until spring of 2012, when national elections would resume and saw the victory of the coalition 'Alliance for Freedoms', headed by the Liberal Party and other parties.

Since 2014 the territories hold by the League of Nations and the Italian Peninsular Alliance were given back to Palermo, as a sign of good will and appeasement by the League of Nations, in 2018 the LoN Mandate of Salento was given back to Sicily.
