DBWI Despotic DPRK, Good ROK

My God... the Italians have resorted to self-delusion, claiming that Mussolini's empire has returned. Operation GLADIO has truly gone wrong.
Hey, at least they are actually doing better than Benito. I mean, they managed to get the Kingdom of Libya to work with them on the oil fields, which is why NATO still has most of the Med as their area of influence.

It helps that that Gaddafi fellow is willing to cooperate with the Italians in pretty much any way he can. He's so helpful that Italy has allowed up to 1,000 Libyan scientists to inspect Italian plutonium refineries. Truly a wonderful sign of cooperation between nations.
 
Well Its the NEW Roman Empire. Greece and Libya are equal partners, Albania and Egypt are less so. Having said that, we are fairly democratic.... provided you're not in Albania or Egypt.

Is it true that most Imperials are too afraid to enforce law in Albania and refer to that province of the empire as "the badlands?"

In parts of the USA where there is less censorship, tales of the Albanian Annexation War (AAW) are pretty legendary. As you know, the Communists were prepared to fight back with with chemical weapons and bunkers all over the country. Returning Imperial soldiers, affected by such weapons, became the subjects of many horror films/expressionist nightmare art. Even though the Imperials won a technical victory, decapitating the government and sending Hoxha into exile in the DPRK, while ultimately dismantling Albanian Communism, word is that the New Albanian government basically finds the country ungovernable. Aside from Somalia and parts of upper New York, Albania is the closest thing to the wild west in the modern world.

The AAW is considered a strategic victory by the Communist bloc. After seeing the cost of trying to take over a fanatical Communist state, the NATO dictatorships eased off a bit (and of course, the rise of the third way Ingsoc regime and the collapse of the USA as a unified, competent federation didn't exactly help their strategic position). Today, the Warsaw Pact refers to Albania "as the poison red apple" and fully expects the New Roman Empire to collapse much like the Ottomans. As we know, the Libyan Arabs are largely unhappy with their present situation and rumor has it that the Soviets and the Yugoslavs still have extensive "red" assets inside of Greece.

To answer the first question. No. Or not anymore at any rate, Albania is fairly lawless true, but its been firmly under Imperial control for the past five years or so.

The second is fairly correct however, though law and order is improving.

The third is a mix, yes the local commies have extensive assets, but the Neo Roman Empire is not on the verge of collapse, mainly because Egypt and Libya provide all those resources. Now, if the Imperial navy was somehow rendered obsolete, then the Empire might have a problem.
