so, if we vote charles maybe we can become his man in italy? and if we vote cosmo we lock in naples for the unification project? that and severin seem to be gearing for an independently minded italy. because this new italy could be like bohemia or it could be like hungary. (when they both had kings that werent the emperor i mean. bohemia was still in the hre, hungary was not)
i dont expect answers im just thinking
EDIT: i think it would be cool for italy to be both. as in, our character is a subject king in lombardy, but a sovereign king in sicily. held in personal union tied to our character line of succession. maybe more of a steward role in the north, like the hre in miniature, our character having the role of confederation head. one of many ways this could go.
