Italian League

The Italian League is a union of several Italian states. They function as independent countries, but they share a military and act as one in foreign policy. They retain friendly relations and mutually beneficial trading partnerships despite differing cultures and ideologies.

The Italian League has several heavily urbanised cities, but outside of these it is not very urbanised. The north is generally more urbanised than the south.
