Papal States

The Papal State(s), State(s) of the Church, or Pontifical States (Italian: Stato Pontificio, also Stato della Chiesa, Stati della Chiesa, Stati Pontifici, and Stato Ecclesiastico; Latin: Status Pontificius, also Dicio Pontificia) is a reastablished form of the old Papal States and takes up all of the Italian Peninsula.

Italian Revolution
During the Years of Lead in the 1960s terror groups had become very popular and targeted a the extremist political groups such as Facists and Communists. Many had fortold that this time period would be the same as the fall of Rome and the breakup of Italy. In 1965 June 5th a succesful coup had taken place when Military General Aleandro Pritoli had over pushed over the Italian Senate and President and Prime Minster. Presidente Aleandro Pritoli had declared a strong socialist government with a progressive point of view.

Death of Aleandro Pritoli
After leading the nation for the last ten years, Pritoli died in his bed at the age of 34 due to unkown reasons. With no real line of succesion diffrent factions began to arise to take control of The Italian Republic. Rome has begun to fling into chaos and the last faction to every to try and take control would soon arise- The Catholic Church. The Vatican orderd the city of Rome be taken back with the help of the exiled Mayor and currently stuggling Police Chief. The Vatican orderd the act to make the local churchs become town centers in the Italian country side. The populance called for a United Papal States and Pope John Paul I become the Head of State.

Formation
With Italy under the Vaticans grapsm John Paul called for peace with the other groups and called for general peace in the nation. While he did call for peace the Terror groups had become silent and fell from grace. John Paul I called for tolerance for the Homosexual group in Italy, and orderd other progressive policies. The Papal States had slowly taken control over the entire Italian Peninsula. The Roman Catholic Church has taken complete control over the governing of Italy and the line of succesion has gone smoothly to Pope Benndictus
