A Reforged World (NO SV, You are King of Italy, in a Greatly Changed World)

[]Senator Bertolfo Antinori of Palermo: A monarchist who formed a coalition government with the moderates to achieve his place. You know next to nothing about him save for his love of the Navy, and his very strange scheme, a scheme that would make you the pariah of Europe if not careful. He wants to use the navy to force open all the ports of Europe to Italian traders and merchants… by force if necessary. He believes, that in any event where profit could be made, if not by treaty, then by force of arms, they must be taken.
Well... seems like this race just became a showdown between Ottorus and Treviani. :V

Ain't no way we're taking this guy and his half-baked scheme.
 
[]Senator Octavian Ottorus of Milan: A Republican who gained this position because everyone couldn't stand him in the Senate, chosen for his eccentricities and because the rest of his parties and the Senate believe he is putting far too much stock on radical ideas that would see the nation bankrupt. He is eccentric, yes, but no one ever doubted his oratory skills, his keen mind for detail… now if only he could see that he needs to remain focused on his duties, instead of flights of fancy and ideas that… irritate you to no end. You have never seen a genius like him so interested in politics though, and that counts for something.
Hmmm...gotta pass, sadly. Sounds too difficult to work with.

Not only no, but HELL NO. The risks by far outweighs the benefits.

[]Senator Randio Travioli of Venice: A Moderate whose idea of not only maintaining the status of Italy but of trying to bring it, slowly, into a new modern world that has been created with the founding and unification. He is a man after your own heart in a sense, his eyes focused firmly on the future, if only for his own interests rather than others. You cannot say that he would be your first pick, but he was chosen by members of the party because they believe he would be a firm pick.
I dunno, Guys, but this Dude seems like a reasonable, trustworthy fellow. I think he's got my Vote.^^

I mean, you would be correct, if Italian navy was not literally the most powerful naval force on the planet at this particular instant.
I still don't like the idea. What's stopping them from just using their armies to crush us on land?

Seems to be the only sane man of the trio

I think that France and the HRE are the only ones that have a land border with us, although I might be wrong. Regardless…

What we're doing would cause them to create a coalition to deal with our upstart nation. Then, they allow each other military access so they can send all their troops down into Italy and crush us like ants.

Ottorus is a bit to risky to work with in my books and there is no way working the scheming monachits whos plans probably fail anyway.

"We must carefully progress towards a more prosperous Italy. A quaint palace built on solid foundation will earn you coin for generations, but a grand one that collapses into the sea the first time a winter storm hits it may see you hanged. -crunch- what? Words of wisdom make a man hungry."

Venice is the safest option certainly, however they are self-interested, and likely going to heavily push us towards siding heavily in Venice's favor in the naval conflict to come.

Octavian is a strange pick certainly, but clearly has a bright mind and a true wish to do good for the country even if maybe not all of them are neccesarily reasonable methods to do so, I think someone more willing to break convention in hopes of a better future, with a powerful tongue is both more interesting and likely better in the long run. He'll have power, but he doesn't have many friends, and genius notices genius.
