Personally I think that having the option to form the Kingdom of Italy under the Savoy dynasty in the South would make more sense and make the setting more interesting, especially considering that the current tree of Sardinia is more modern than the Republican one.

The Entente *is* the Big Loser of the Weltkrieg.

For real though, the Republic of Italy can join the Entente eventually.

sounds like a huge Entente L

I thought about doing it, would welcome feedback on the matter.

My somewhat lore-friendly logic is that Rome fell to its own socialist revolt and is thus an autonomous commune under the SRI's authority (Rome itself isn't even a core of the SRI in this mod).

The main mod already has tools in place for the coring of Rome - focuses and decisions and events - dealing with the pacification of the former Papal States, as well as moving the capital to it once the war is over.

I wanted to leave it like that to make it as compatible as possible with any future update to the SRI content. But if you think it is a dealbreaker it is easy to change this.

Shouldn’t you move the SRI’s capital to Rome? Since it controls the city in your version

Thank you for your mod also, I like it! :)
