Description
A remake of my original TL-442 Kingdom of Italy map, which can be found here: [link]For those that don't know, TL-442 is essentially a world or timeline (hence "TL") in which the Napoleonic Wars went very differently. I'm not entirely sure what happened, because I don't know enough about history to make up something plausible. I do know that in this timeline Italy is much stronger and an informal ally of Britain. I also know that Italy was united under the House of Sforza rather than the House of Savoy.
I updated the map to have more historical borders (i.e. borders that existed historically, not borders that Italy itself had historically) and to have regions instead of states, because I didn't like the idea of a federal Kingdom of Italy.
Also, Italy has a brilliant and badass national anthem, in my opinion, just look at the chorus:
"Let us join in a cohort,
We are ready to die.
We are ready to die,
Italy has called.
Let us join in a cohort,
We are ready to die.
We are ready to die,
Italy has called!"
I don't know about you, but that sounds much cooler than "God save the Queen" to me.

No where, I'm afraid - it was just a term I used for a timeline I set some maps in.

Oh.Β
Well I'm just guessing here but, is the POD that Napoleon invades the Balkans?

I literally made up no history for this timeline; maps set in TL-442 are just me thinking "Hey that'd be kinda cool" and then making a map without ever actually thinking about the history behind it, I'm afraid.

Well either way the POD I mentioned in the previous comment
was what IΒ came up with as an explanation to your fascinating
TL.

I see they gave up Malta here, though I would think the British might have also liked to keep around the United States of the Ionians or the Kingdom of Corsica.

That's one badass Italy 
However, the labels in the top right corner are slightly difficult to read. Also, should it not be "I regioni" rather than "Le regioni"? Or are you showing a slightly different Italian language?

Thanks!
I honestly don't know how to speak Italian; I just put "The regions of the kingdom of Italy" into Google translate and hoped that it got it right!
Is "i" just another word for "the" then?

Apparently, it was my bad, and google translate was correct. Italian has different article forms for singular and plural, for masculine and feminine, and it also may depend on the initial letter of the noun. The basic forms of articles are "il" (sg. masc.), "la" (sg. fem.), "i" (pl. masc.) and "le" (pl. fem.). For some reason I thought "regione" should be masculine, but it's feminine. It's been a few years since I learnt Italian, so my memory is a bit rusty...
