Radical Venetian Idea:
I post this as a separate thread, as it effects both the Habsburgs, Italy, and the Balkans. This is an idea I have been thinking about for some time, feel free to shoot it down if you please:
Move Venice to the province Mantua!
Pros: Makes more Geographical sense.
Styria can have the old Venezia province, and thus get their port
No land connection between Venice and Istria
Venice is more in the middle of Italian affairs
Um . . . it DOES look better, really, try it out!
Cons: We have to lose Mantua!!! (What was the point of that country anyhow?)
The whole "city/province names don't match!" thing
No space for Venecian historical expansion in mainland Italy (Hm, maybe that was the reason for Mantuas existence, though it is a wierd choice)
OK, that's all I can think of! Feel free to comment.
