Malta? Not possible, as it's already too crowded as it is, and always was. The Maltese are (were) already basically considered Italians, so theres no point in that. And 'deport the natives'? You must be joking. I think that Argentina (with a more cohesive Italian identity and a less succesful...

Nice to see this is still going on...kind of. Do continue when you have the chance.

Indeed, what I mean is that the flag, which is the old tricolour, looks so much better with those white bands, but I havent seen any of those being waved about. Maybe they will be added later on, if there arrives a time when they can focus on details on that rather than overthrowing Gaddafi...

And, on a completely unrelated note, I made this flag from the old tricolour and white stripes, which I think make it look infinitely better. Though I havent actually seen it around anywhere, so the chances something similar actually gets adopted is slim.

Like Afghanistan, as everyone has said, but so much worse. I dont think the war in Switzerland would ever end, not until every German is driven out. Parts of that country is unconquerable.

A bit confused about Reichstadt and all. Is he an opportunistic, loyal and ruthless savage who blows up countless middle class protesters, or some kind of popular liberal general-cum-politician? And we can't ever be sure that he even had the makings of a good general. I know, he had the best...

Its really nice to see that this TL still manages to get a few posts every now and then. Just so everyone knows, I fully intend to continue Zwei Adler at a later date, maybe in summer. Thanks for keeping it alive. :) Yes, all your reasons are very valid, but I can't confirm anything about...

Wow. Shocking, pretty much. How you managed to turn the shy, sickly Napoleon Franz into this ruthless commander ought to be good. At first, I thought that you were building a pararel with Napoleon I who of course commanded artillery against the revolution in Paris but blowing up tonnes of...

Indeed, the Treaty of London did actually require just a suspension, I believe, but then the UK demanded that the Company be completely closed down. And since the Company was based in Ostend, it didnt require the Scheldt mouth to operate. See my TL for further details, in which (plug, etc.) the...

With a more liberal view on the challenge, maybe somehow Spain manages to secure the whole Moroccan area, rather than the northern and southern parts? Then, possibly, a more stable Spain would pay more attention to this large territory and integrate at least some of it (the North) to Spain...

Are you from Friuli? Or Veneto?

I assume Napoleon will have his great coming to terms with his destiny, etc in his late adolsesence, so will his adventuring in Austria and Amercia come before 1848, or after it? Because if he gets an influential role in Vienna or elsewhere in Europe in his late thirties, I doubt he would ever...

This seems very interesting, of a Habsburgised Bonaparte. I think its a natural progression from being brought up in Austria/Italy as a proper prince, fighting as a hero abroad, then returning to carve out his own place in European politics. I hope you continue.

Oh, come off it. He's obvioiusly joking.

"What's the capital of Poland, then?" "Dunno." "I'll just write 'Capitale du Pologne' then..."

Malta and New Malta FTW!:D

It was very possible to take Malta immediately after the DoW. IIRC, there was a submarine attack in the Grand Harbour that almost resulted in an Italian victory, so if the Italians go all in for Malta it could happen. The Maltese themselves would probably help thim kick out the British at that...

This. And the fact that the whole Padanian idea is not an identity held by many people at all. The last sentence basically sums up the whole argument.

Nazi Malta? What, are we going to annex Tripoli and the Ionians again?
