1.REPUBLIC OF GUIANA

So when Columbus had the attention of the Spanish monarchs in 1490 managed two convince the Monarchs in 1942 and sailed out on the 3rd of August in 1492 it lead to a state of tension back in Spain. Will this explorer find India, or are we wasting our time? When he returned in 1493 with news that he had discover new land the whole of Spain was excited. World quickly spread through Europe. Particularly Italy, France, England and Portugal. A year later The 1st Italian war started and had ended in 1498. During these time the Italian people suffered immensely. They realized that if they were to stay disunited and fractured they will be open to the whims of other kings of Europe, to use them in their grand game. If they stayed broken they'll miss out in the New World. Columbus had come back from his second voyage in 1496 had had taken off for his third voyage that year. It was around this time that the idea of a united Italy had started to come about, and was spearheaded by, surprisingly a Sienaian (?) sailor and explorer named Durante Adami.

Three years later the nation's of Sienna, Florence, Lucca, Modena, Ferrara and Romagna (break away state of the Papal States) formed L'Durante Rupublic, and two years later following a series of wars with several belligerents called 'The War of Italian Unification' the Kingdom of Naples, the Papal States, the Republic of Genoa, the Southern territories of the Duchy of both Milan and Savoy, Montferrat, all of Venice's Balkan holdings and the Republic of Ragusa were added to the Durante Republic and with that the Kingdom of Italy was formed. Now with most of the Italian peninsula under their belt the kingdom could expand three different ways. North to finish of Savoy, Milan and Venice, South into Sicily and west. Into Corsica and Sardinia but more importantly, into the new world.

The year is now 1860, four hundred and seven years after the Kingdom of Italy was formed and four hundred and three years after the Kingdom of Italy had sent out a fleet of five caravels to go to the new world and establish themselves a settlement for Italy. The Italian empire colonized mainly around what they called 'the golden ring', (which is Guyana, Venezuela, Colombia, Central America, Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida and most of the Caribbean Islands). By now almost all colonies in South America have broken off, except for British Suriname and French Guiana, and arguably one of the most successful Italian and most successful of the colonies of South America is The Republic of Guiana, comprising of the states of Guyana, eastern bolívar, Delta Amacuro, Monagas, Sucre, Roraima, the north-western section of Amazonas, the northern section of Pará and Amapá. The state claims the British Suriname and French Guiana are rightful parts of Guiana, and they have the weapons, experience and determination to back that claim up.

Now the flag of Guiana is quite the unique one. It consists of three equal horizontal stripes, colored in order of green, blue and yellow with a sun of May I'm the middle of the flag. The sun represents the power of the state, akin of that to the sun's power and the unity of all the people under the state. The green represents fertility and the green and lush nature of the country. The blue represents the Caribbean and wisdom. The yellow represents the sand of the beach and the happiness that is within the people.

3.GARIBALDIA

With the Empire of Italy preoccupied with its seemingly endless wars in Europe under the brilliant but obsessive Emperor Francesco Buonaparte, the dissent that had been fermenting for half a century in their American possessions boiled over into revolution. The charismatic soldier Giovanni Garibaldi headed up a rebellion in his home colony of Bueonos Arias colony, the success of which led to Garibaldi being invited to assist other Italian colonies. In a decade, Italian rule in South America had ended (Treaty of London). But Garibaldi’s hope of a sustainable union of all South America was in tatters less than 10 years later.
Following his death, his birth colony (plus some adjacent territories) was renamed Garibaldia in his honour. To this day Garibaldi is known throughout the continent as “Il Grande Liberatore”.
