As a new renaissance greeted Byzantium, scrolls detailing the glorious Roman Republic started a new phase of romanticism, where the Roman Senate was glorified. Brutual repressions, and decline of the ruling dynasty, led to the New Roman Republic.

I don't intend on being particularly militaristic (As I have most of the areas I want to control) but rather focus on anion building, cultural revolution, forming a national identity, etc. I intend independence to come like Brazil RL, where the monarchy splits and the Emperor of Portugal and Emperor of Brazil are siblings and split the union.

Head of State: The head of state of the Patriarchal Price-Archbishopric of Aquilea is Conrad IV, an unknowing descendant of Henry II "The Saint".

He took great lengths to cleanse his realm of any "heretics" of the Church, going so far as to expel a large number of Protestants from the northernmost region of his nation. He was commended by the Pope, and is in line to become a saint after his death for his actions. Despite his religiously persecutive nature, he is quite a liberal social ruler, allowing his populace relatively free trading and civil rights so long as they openly profess Catholicism. He is a patron of the arts and a lover of music.

Brief Description of your nation's History: The history of the Archbishopric can actually be traced back two places, the Bishopric of Trent, and the Patriarchate of Aquileia. I'll start with the latter first. While it is true that the Patriarchate later got a landed title under the Duchy of Fruili, it should be noted that the Patriarchate actually existed since soon after the time of Jesus, said to be founded in 70 A.D by Saint Helarus. There, it was one of the early bastions of Christianity, and survived the numerous waves of persecutions that came from the Early Roman Emperors. By the time of the Holy Roman Empire, however, the Bishopric was declared "inferior only to Rome, Ravenna, and Milan in grandeur" in a Papal Synod in 1047. Henry IV of Germany gave Sieghard of Belstein temporal power within the Duchy of Friuli, giving him all but de jure power over the region, and raising him to Prince-Bishop status. There, the Price Bishopric stayed, with its expansionist zenith reaching its peak at 1126. From there, however, it was only decline. The year after it had reached its peak, the County of Gorz broke away from the Archbishopric, taking half of its land, and large, profitable gold mines away from the Archbishopric. As the Venetians began encroaching on the Istrian Coast, the Archbishopric began to increasingly seem them as rivals. In 1291 they officially lost the entirety of the Istrian Coast to Venice, which took away most of their maritime trade. From then on, they were considered an insignificant power until 1420, when Venice officially stripped the Archbishop of his temporal power and stepped in to fill the void of leadership.
Now, the Bishopric of Trent is a little different. The first Bishops of Trent seem to appear in historical records at a synod in Aquilea (ironically enough) in 301 A.D. There, it was a part of the Lombard Kingdom, and then the Kingdom of Italy (Carolingian), but was later conquered in 951 by the Germans. In the Holy Roman Empire, the Bishops of Trent participated in most of the diets, and other governmental policies, even briefly becoming an Elector. But by the reign of George I von Liechtenstein, the Habsburgs were closing in on his temporal authority. He managed to escape the subjugation, but he died in 1419. Six years later, Austrian troops crossed the border in order to suppress a republic-style commune that had sprung up in the city of Tyrol, the former center of the Bishopric. While the successors of George I attempted to avoid subjugation, it was complete in all but name. However, when the young Alexander von Masowien ascended the throne, he had major changes in line for the Bishopric. He petitioned the Pope, whom he was in good standing with, regarding the lack of piety held by the Habsburg rulers, and that, if they must stay rulers, then they should not have any authority over a Bishop. In 1543, the same year that Alexander had written his letter, the Pope granted the Bishopric, as well as a number of smaller Bishoprics, independence from the Austrian Regime, as well as a grant of the Old Patriarchate of Aquileia to ensure its independence. Alexander then turned his aging eyes towards the old territory of Aquileia, Friuli and Istria, now under control of the Venetians, who had recently been weakened by a number of wars with greater powers.
