The State of the Greater Italian Empire, it's Mandates, its Spheres of Influences, and it's Colonies, in its entirety.
- ------ Our Economy
The Economy of the Italian Empire is the strongest Economy in the world. We produce much of the things the world needs, and we export many of the luxuries that the world longs, such as French and Italian wines, Swiss and Austrian clothing, silk, and many other items, such as machines, cars, and weaponry that we sell to the world.
Our current monetary is in a huge surplus, and recent reports from independent researchers state that "A surplus like this couldn’t happen unless this Empire was stealing gold bullion by the trillions from the rest of Europe.". While these reports aren’t confirmed, or denied, by the Italian Government, the fact that nations such as The United Arab Emirates and Russia are missing large portions of their bullion brings up the possibility.
Our Current Surplus is 87,000,278,923,864.85 Llma, approximitly 174,000,557,847,729.70 Euros.
- ------ Military Strength
The Military of our Empire is superior to all other nations on earth, Our armies crush divisions into the ground, without a spec of dust left from them. Our technology, such as our highly advanced rail guns, our stealth aircraft, and our highly skilled troops, numbering in the millions, are some of the grandest the world has ever seen.
We are currently expanding our military even more, and our total population of military is currently at 17.8 Million men in the Italian Armed forces, along side 800,000 for the state of Luxembourg, a nation that is slowly becoming sovereign. Throughout the entire Empire, we also have an amount of soldiers fit for service that has never been seen before, 100,000,000 troops, though this amount of troops would not be called upon unless our empire was invaded.
Our Navy is the largest the world has ever seen. We maintain a fleet of 24 Super-Carriers, although three of said Carriers are currently undergoing testing due to their classified nature. We maintain only five battleships though, mainly due to the rising evidence that Battleships are Obsolete in a world where Aircraft carriers rule the waves.
- ------ State of the Empire.
The state of the Empire is rather grand. We control Switzerland, Austria, France, Luxembourg, Belgium, the Netherlands, Lichtenstein, The Czech Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, England, Scotland, and Wales. In addition, we maintain numerous military bases across the globe, ranging from Turkey to islands in the Baltic Sea.
Our People are happier than they have ever been. They enjoy economic security, fair-paying jobs, and mandated health care installed by Giovanni Facilli, which pays for medical expenses for anyone over the age of Sixty, should they not be able to pay for themselves. In addition, our People maintain a healthy but limited tie to the Government, which is continuing to try and make the People more independent from their government. In addition, our people enjoy liberties that they hadn't had while Alessandro Petrini was Emperor, including Freedom of Press, which was limited while He was Emperoro.
- ------ The Health of our Emperor.
Our Emperor, Guesseppe Franco, is in grandee health, and at the age of almost 65, is still in the prime of his life. Doctors say that he could possibly, if continuing on the healthy living habits that he has now, live for another 25 to 35 years, giving his time of death at 105 years old, which would make him the oldest sitting power figure in history. Therefore, he is Fit for duty.
- ------ Our Technology.
The Technology of the Italian Empire continues to expand and produce grand things. The Italian Empire has banned the usage of harmful things to the environment, such as coal, after the recent storm that destroyed much of the world. The Empire has begun to build up Nuclear power-plants, along with solar panels on all of the Government buildings, and hydroelectric dams all across the Empire.
The Italian Empire is currently working on a natural replacement for Oil, which is used to create almost everything that the average person uses, from the plastic in a persons pen, to the jogging suit of Prince Cesar.
- ------ Organizations the Empire Supports.
The Italian Empire supports many organizations all around the world, such as the AIDS Recognition organizations that try to protect civilians in Africa from AIDS. The Italian Government is also still in search of organizations that it can support.
- ------ Our Allies.
- The Ottoman Empire
- The United States of America
- The Kalmar Union
- The Kingdom of Romania
- Israel
*Note*: The Italian Empire is still trying to Re-build relations with the German Federal Republik, and the Polish Union.
