With a POD of after Napoleon. Create a scenario where Italy:
1) Has an industrialised North AND South. With a strong economy and a large population.
2) Where the rule of law is more or less common place (ie No Mafia or not nearly as important).
3) With a functioning democracy which is in touch with the people.
4) Where foreign policy is about allying with the Germans against the French and Austro-Hungarians.
5) With a strong and modern (for the time) military.
6) Where the only colony is "Italian North Africa" composed of Tunisia and Northern Lybia, which is well developed and settled.
All before a WWI analogue in the early 20th century.
The idea is to make an Italy which has: overcome most of its downsides on the home front, concentrated on one profit producing colony instead of wasting money, and is ready and raring to go for a nice European (and maybe North African) expansion at this expense of its too hated enemies.
If you can think of any other improvements for Italy, add them for bonus points. Oh, and it must be a Kingdom. In this timeline Italians in the USA would be FAR fewer in number.
Good Luck!
