Sardinia

The Republic of Italy, also known by its colloquial name, Sardinia, is a country in Europe.

The Republic was founded with the overthrow of the Kingdom of Italy, when a group inspired by the French overthrow of their corrupt monarchy instituted a coup that resulted in the extermination of the House of Savoy from Italy and the establishment of a presidential government.

The democratic government of Italy, however, ran into problems with corruption and inefficiencies, especially after the industrialization of Europe, when unchecked and unregulated business practices resulted in a massive degree of unrest with the working class. The unrest resulted in widespread anti-government demonstrations that quickly escalated into a revolution, with the Italian Labor Bond, a collection of workers unions across Italy, orchestrating a communist government in the Italian mainland. The former government was forced to flee to Sardinia, where it currently resides.

The Republic of Italy maintains that it is the sole legitimate government over the Italian Peninsula. However, the Red Wars largely resulted in most nations officially abandoning the small republic in favor of the more powerful communist government.
