The Papal State democracy thread got me to thinking... how can you prevent Italian unification in the 19th century? Neutralizing the House of Savoy somehow, or at least directing its attentions elsewhere, seems to be one strong possibility. But how would you create an ATL 2008 where instead of Italy, you have some or all of Sardinia, Lombardy, the Two Sicilies, Tuscany, the Papal States, Modena, Parma, Lucca and Venice as independent states?
