Calling anyone knowledgeable in Southern Italy!

[unmerged(228617)]

Hello,

I am in the midst of making the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies for Kaiserreich but I admit outside of the actual King and some Mafioso, I do not know who I can use for ministers. Or tech teams really.

Anyway, if you know *anyone* who could be a minister/leader, do tell!

Hopeful for Anachronistic nation to be in KR,
RF

This article might be useful: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sicilian_Independence_Movement.

As for the rest, I don't know much of anything about it, but I'm good at finding information.

 

[^_AC_^]

There are already some good ministers in the minister file for the Socialist Republic of Italy. Did you take a look? Ask me in the KR forum if you need info.

 

[unmerged(228617)]

Already knew about the Sic Independent movement.

I didn't want to use SRoI mins, but I suppose it wouldn't matter *that* much.

 

[Amun Nefer]

So you got all their names down then as well as photos?

Meh, I could maybe do actual searching.

/me assumes arrogant posture. As an archaeologist (I get my bacheleor's degree next year). Extensive research is an important part of the job.

 

[unmerged(228617)]

That was indeed arrogant of you to say.

I had gotten some people down but since my skills at juggling work is still poor, if you want to help you may as well do it as well.

I am of course being silly, but most other archaeologists are twenty times more arrogant and are completely serious.

Meh, I'll see what I can do. Anything to help get the next patch out sooner. With the idea in mind that it moves things along quicker (and we all want the next version) others should try to do it as well.

Heh, the KTS is not stopping Beta 3, but I would like for it to be in it.

Just post anyone you find!

 

[Amun Nefer]

Well, here's what I found so far.

Infante Alfonso - This fellow looks like your best bet for King, though there is a slight dispute in sucession from the Carlist branch I think.

Achille Lauro -- Long time Mayor of Naples and head of Monarchist movements. Maybe Head of Gov, eh?

Alfredo Covelli - Would be in his 20's about the time the story takes place, but he could be an eager young minister in the new gov.

Giacomo Acerbo - an economist and influential politico.

Vittorio Emanuele Orlando - Justice Minister and a PM of Italy, but his speciality appears to have been the law, also had mafia connections apparently.

Giovanni Messe - Possible Chief of Staff or Chief of Army.

Corradino D'Ascanio - A possible Air Force Chief.

Umberto Nobile - Another possible Chief of the Air Force.

Francesco_Pricolo - And another.

Ettore Muti - A not so good chief of the Air Force

Luigi Rizzo - Possible Chief of Navy

They should get good relations with the Kingdom of Spain as this fellow is clearly Alfonsine.

I think Prince Ferdinand Pius would be a better candidate for king, since the succession crises didn't start until his death in 1960 .

Oh my, you are correct. I should have read that bit in the lede a bit more closely (the '60 to '64). So yes, Ferdinand's your man. See? It's good to have multiple people doing it 'cause then you have people verifying and making sure that the other didn't make a mistake. All the guys I picked btw were from Southern Italy. Should there be anyone from Northern Italy?

I... don't know, actually.

The only reason I knew about Ferdinand was because I've been trying to add a Two Sicilies country to HoI3 (and am a monarchist) , and am using the exact same method you're using.

Every other mod (like New Nations) with small Italian states seems to just include ministers and leaders that were born/lived in the area, so I think the approach is a good one.

I'll get back to you on my finds once I've retrieved them.

 

[unmerged(228617)]

Great! If you guys can just keep spamming people, KTS shall be in Beta 3!

 

[Amun Nefer]

One of my approaches is to just look through the various people involved in the government during Mussolini's long reign and right before (which I suspect everyone does ). That's in lieu of speaking Italian, but I'm more than willing to guess that the Italian Wikipedia has more extensive articles on some of the individual, more influential, deputies at that time.

Here are some more:

Enrico De Nicola - Minister of Security?

Useful page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Politicians_of_Sicily

Giuseppe Alessi - Christian Democrat fellow and once president of Sicily's regional government.

Filippo Anfuso - Possible National Populist fellow.

Serafino Mazzolini - Another.

Silvio Milazzo

Mario Scelba

I think you maybe should have some socialist guys in it as well to placate some of syndicalists that would be in the new kingdom.

Girolamo Li Causi - A Communist leader with mafia connections.

Luigi Sturzo - Socialist Priest.

Antonio Gramsci - Communist leader from Sardinia (which I think is part of the SRI in this mod)

Mario Berlinguer - and another.

And Republicans for Social Liberal and Social Democrat, etc in case they want to become more democratic.

Ugo La Malfa - Possible Head of Government

Giorgio La Pira - Possible Minister of Security

Gaetano Martino - Liberal, but not sure what else there is about him.

I really do not want there to be a doubling of work, can you guys pretty please join the mod forum and head to this thread?

Thanks!

Alright, but -NW- already covered everything.
