2021: A Changing World (OOC:Open)

[Arvenia]

Sounds like a Second Sino-Soviet Split though what caused their relationship to fall apart?
I guess I will be working mending that relationship we once had.

Probably the fact that the Soviets are growing closer to the West in the post-Gorbachev era while the Chinese are more antagonistic to the West.

I do think China still has like Venezuela, Iran, Syria and possibly North Korea by its side in this regard.

None of which really compare to the Soviets.

At face value seems like a longshot, but after reading what happened in 1990s Italy certainly possible.

History Changes (Subject to review and approval by OP and Co-OP):

Mani pulite investigation of corruption occurs as IRL, with the added revelation of Silvio Berlusconi’s corruption and attempts to intimidate investigators. This leads to the complete collapse of the established political system even further than IRL and the fall of the first Italian Republic. In the chaos, the former neo-fascists Gianfranco Fini and Luca Romagnoli form a new movement rebuking the Italian identity and nation as a failure and promoting a return to the Roman identity. With no parties big enough to fill the void of the former major parties, a series of chaotic coalitions rule Italy until 1999, when Fini and Romagnoli’s Roman Movement almost win an outright majority. Forming a coalition with a minor conservative party, the new government uses its mandate to propose a new constitution; dissolving the Second Italian Republic and forming the Second Roman Republic, which narrowly passes in a referendum. The new state is modelled after the ancient republic but adapted to the modern democratic times. Ever since the foundation of the new republic in 2000, the Roman Movement has continued to dominate the senatorial elections; riding the Eurosceptic tide of the last 10 years into supermajorities. Now as Fini and Romagnoli look to step down and the search begins for their successors as consuls, Rome stands strong for the first time in over 1500 years.

When it comes to multinational unions, I start looking at IRL precedent. So far, I haven't found any significant effort to create an Iberian union.
