The Republic of Padania will be a countryball in Northern Italy formed after the Crusader Crisis that lived during the European Revolutionary Period and the domination of EAPball;

History
The Republic of Padania was founded after the Crusader Crisis and the fall of the Holy Roman Empireball and the subsequent desintegration of the New Papal Statesball that retreated to control the city of Rome. Italians in the north had generally viewed the Future Holy War with bad eyes, as their industries were all used in behalf of a war that gave no benefit at all to them, so they were tired of clericalism and the rest of Europe interfering at their lives. The result of it was a isolationist country that refused integration with the rest of Europe to the fury of the EAPball.

Padania during its foundation annexed some lands of Siwtzerland that used to belong to Holy Roman Germanyball as well as some territories of Holy Roman Austria-Hungaryball. The republic seemed to be inspired in a wave of "neo-Bismarckism" that was in practice social conservatism with some state welfare.

Even doing considerable economic growth and rebuilding itself, Padania would find itself isolated at the end and agitations started with the growth of pro-EAP movements inside, the same was happening at its southern counterpart, the Neapolitan-Sicilian Republicball. The Padanian government took a very clear stance against the EAP plans of uniting Italy again and said it would be able to defend itself from any threats.

With tensions reaching its peak, in 2649, a coup took place in Padania and a war in the Italian Peninsula started following the invasion of the Neapolitan-Sicilian Republicball. The EAPball had planned with the Padanian opposition and factions of the army to take power and help it in defeating both so Italy would be annexed, but the plan didn't work really well as the Padanian loyalists started an armed resistance and a large scale war started, similar to that on the UK against the Curwish. It was known as the Great Italian War, that at the end, the EAP won and unified it.
