Well, let me see here. Let's take this step by step, because maybe i'm missing something obvious.

v1.05c 1936 Scen ITA

So, Italy starts out with a total of 132 IC distributed across 39 provinces. This is per table 2, and my HP32S II calculator agrees. Inspection of the ITA inc file reveals that all owned and controlled provinces are also national provinces, and that the only national province not owned and controlled is Malta.

So why do they start with only 108 IC. 24IC is a bunch. At start, of course, there are sufficient resources to run flat out. The only ministers affecting economy are the Armament [-5% dissent] and the Security [-1% dissent].

6IC are in Africa [5 provinces]
3IC are islands [3 provinces, not including Sicily which has land bridge].

So i am missing something, i am sure, but what?

Is there a secret penalty for the facisti? The Il Ducale penalty?

Please assist the mentally challenged!

Thanks!

I'd guess you are playing Very Hard difficulty.
132 * 1.02 (tech) = 135 (which I see on normal)
135 * 0.8 (difficulty modifier) = 108 (which I see on VH)
