If Rome had survived to present day?

Eternal City - Not Likely

It is a pity the city didn't survive the extensive bombing of the Great War, but it was really only time before the collapse of the Italian nation and its split into its component parts.
 
You know, it did. It's called Vatican. ;)
(I assume you were talking about the Papal States, right? Though it is actually pre-1900 (1870 IIRC) to have it confined to Vatican only.)
As for the city of Rome, it still exists, and signed a peace treaty with the city of Carthage in 1983. :)


OOC:
That's the only way the question can be reasonably understood without sending it crashing off the post-1900. A good question (and maybe challenge), BTW: can what we know as Vatican achieve more territory with a post-1900 POD?



...So what, how?
January First-of-May ;)
