Shine said:Similar situation in RL when Italy was united. Those who weren't happy with unification esthablished San Marino as a tiny autonomous state within Italy.
Sorry but that is completly wrong
San Marino was established in the 300 (can't remebers the exact year) by Christians who were fleeing the religious persecution perpetrated by the Romans, Italy was unified only 1561 years later.
The reason San Marino was never incorporated under the new Italian Kingdom are quite different as well:
- San Marino is a republic since the 1600
- San Marino during the 19th century gave much support to the very people who were persecuted because of their support for an united Italian state
For those two reasons Garibaldi accepted the wish of San Marino not to be incorporated under an Italian Kingdom (they were a Repubblic)... that's why San Marino is an indipendent nation separated from Italy.
