I am honoured that the good Marquess has placed his faith in me, and shall endeavour to undertake my duties with honour and skill.

It is a great honour to receive such a prominent appointment as the Ministry of War and Colonies from a man so highly esteemed as our Lord Regent, the Marchese di Soleminis. I will gladly accept it and resume my management of the African colonies, as well as tally which soldiers and governments the Loyalist government can count on in these turbulent days. Indeed, the Lord Regent's pick for Chief of General Staff, the esteemed General Cesare Giacomo of the equally reputable d’Auria family, has my full trust and I am quite happy that we are to cooperate in the years to come.
Hail to the Lord Regent!

I am honored to be chosen for the position of Minster of the Interior. While it will no doubt be a challenging appointment given the chaos left behind by the illegitimate communist government, I appreciate the trust the Lord Regent has placed to me. I sincerely hope that we - as well as all Cabinent members - can work together to make Italy great again.

I will attempt to form a militia called the Italian Liberation Army (Italiano Esercito di Liberazione)
EDIT: This militia will be pro-business, pro-democracy, and generally fighting for a small government.

Although officially named the Minister of Justice and Public Morality, Gabriel Severus Drago di Eugenyus dom Contravarius-Don'Paulus y Rex-Trpimirović-Luzsénszky would personally see almost no actual work after his appointment. Brought into the government mostly because of his immense popularity among the lower and middle classes who had heard about his exploits in Venice and beyond, he would rarely provide the regime with anything more useful than a puff of flamboyant artistic glamour followed by a few witty lines here and there, preferring to tour abroad (different sources suggest the possibility of Baron dom Contravarius spening up to 90% of his time in the office outside the borders of the Kingdom of Italy, mostly in Switzerland and France) and leaving almost all the real work to his secretaries and the rest of the administration.
While the Ministry was run by the cream of and talent brought up in the regimes of Alliata and Balbo, it would still remain powerless before the raging masses, trying to restore the country to some semblance of order, remain on their feet in the worst storm that any governent in the history of Italy would have to start their term in.

Ottavio Giulio Goretti, as an anti-gov demagogue, attempts to form a militia called The Italian League of Justice and Equality (La Lega Italiana di Giustizia e Uguaglianza)
((private))
Ottavio arrives at Genoa, after the long escape from Rome. He and the other comrades barely made it alive. He did not know where they are right now, but he will take matters upon himself. The government may be dead, betrayed by bloody extremists and the wretched Amat; but the worker's cause is forever alive, and will, eventually, win. They may have won the battle, but not the war.
"Will you bow to your new 'overlord', this 'regent' who is no different than Balbo and Alliata?!", he rhetorically asks his followers.
"NO!", they answer.
"Will you be content with social injustice, being robbed by the wealthy?!"
"NO!"
"Will you rest until the workers' cause is fulfilled?!"
"NO!!!"
"Then grab your guns and join the league!"

Call for a Rainbow Alliance
This is a call to all Italians who desire to restore peace and prosperity to our Nation. For 20 years we have seen an oscillation of power between extremes of the Right and Left. It should be obvious to sensible people that this cannot continue and that no one Party will succeed in governing the People for any security of tenure.
I call upon the various militias to unite in a common cause to overthrow the crypto-Balboist, Amat, and to restore the Nation to a true democracy with free elections. This is a call not only to my Communist comrades, but also to the Liberal, Anarchist, Socialist and moderate Conservatives. We must learn from our mistakes and form a broad coalition of opinions that can form a credible alternative to repressive dictatorship. i accept that the Communist Party must and can co-exist with other Parties, to work together for a better Italy than the wasteland that the dictators have reduced it to.
I propose that we work together to restore a Governement based on the 1884 constitution initially with a view to reaching a consensus of opinion of any necessary amendments to reflect the lessons of the last 25 years.

V.M. Pedrotti speaks with his aide...
"Hah, you would think that Italians would be tired of constant revolution by now, what with the seven governments we have had in the past fifteen years, but no, there is always someone calling for revolution, and they will always need an army. That is why no matter the ideology in power, we, the military, endure. Well, mostly endure."

February 1911
I sat in my office or study room or whatever it wanted to be called, I was too upset to care, although Mama always told me to call it the study room. "Your father always called it a study room." She had said quite cheerfully on a hot summers day whilst she was serving me some sort of tropical drink, I remember she said it was Indian or something nearer the equator where it can get quite hot and humid. In fact I am quite sure it was Indian, because she was going on and on about how much it reminded her of father, apparently he was born off the coast of India. Funnily enough he told me he was born in Shaytanka, Russia amongst wolves and his father was an alpha-wolf that preyed on young women. Fool on him for lying to me, fool on me for believing it for such a long time. But then I made the mistake of trying to correct her.
"But Mama I've always heard father calling it an office." I had said assured that I was right whilst I brought the glass to my lips to take a sip. Then suddenly the glass Jar broke against the floor and my mother backhanded me knocking the glass from hand.
"You do not know your father as well as I do!" She had said quite angrily. "You don't know him as well as I do, you don't know it all, you don't love him. You never loved him, you never gave him a good burial, no funeral, no service. simply thrown away like an animal."
"We never found his..."
"Shut up!" she had shouted before storming out of the room. She never did get over my father's death, but she did get better, she had regained some sanity and calm. But she still had triggers and that was one of them. Sadly that was the last time we ever saw her, it was evident that she taken some money and left, to where? We did not know. We still search for her and I really hope some day we will find her, the children really do miss their grandmother and I am sure Maria misses her too. Sarah on the other hand probably doesn't, she came back home when she heard mother had ran away, she tried pretending to be saddened and concerned but truthfully I could tell she was happy mother was gone, and I understand why. She and mother had never saw eye to eye, not even in the days when father was alive, they disagreed on everything even though they were essentially the same person, fiery woman who disliked the mistreatment and inequality bestowed onto women in our society. But whatever her reasons for coming back, I was happy she was helping Maria and my wife Sofia with the children.
I took another sip from the glass, Vodka, fathers favourite. Personally I find the stuff to be near revolting, but it does help with calming the nerve. Suddenly three raps where made against the open door behind me, I turned around to see my sister Sarah standing in the doorway. "May I come in Signor Concordé?" She asked playfully.
"Yes - Yes you may." I replied playfully, she then strolled into the room and sat on the desk before me, we sat in silence for a few minutes before I broke the silence. "Can you imagine father ran one of the leading corporations in this country from this room behind this desk?" I asked.
"The - leading corporation of this country." She replied.
"Yes, but the competition was quite close at some points, that is all I am trying to say."
"Do you doubt the quality of our father's work?" She asked snidely "I haven't seen you do any better."
"I am trying my best, corporations aren't simply built over night."
"You've have had quite more than a night. And you're not building a corporation, the corporation is already there, you simply need to take it back." She said shouting under her breath. "They stole what is ours Marc, they stole our factories, they stole what we built."
"Who? Who stole from us Sarah?" I replied angrily.
"You know who. the Whites, the Reds - every thieving lying bastard who sits in Roma!" She shouted which caused the room to fall silent, she then made her way around the desk to stand right before me looking down onto me, I visibly exhaled then took a deep breath.
"What do you want me to do? Set Roma on fire and retake everything that is ours whilst they burn?"
"Yes."
"That is mad."
"That is what a true Sicilian would do - oh I am sorry." She said then leaned right into my face "I forgot you were French." The room fell silent yet again, and that's when it happened, Sarah moved in to kiss me. I could have stopped her but all the tension had made her too irresistible, before long we were wrapped up into each other's arms on our father's old chair. kissing, licking and moaning, removing bits of clothing slowly when suddenly everything appears to have stopped - and the pain sets in, there appears to be a knife jabbed into my ribcage, right into my heart.
"Sarah?" I asked filled with shock.
"You naughty boy Marc, I thought father had trained you better, don't you know that you! A married man!" She said aggressively whilst shoving the knife deeper into my chest "Should keep your hands of the forbidden fruit. I am your sister Marc, your sister."
"Sarah what have you done?"
"What I should have done since day one." She then pulls the knife for my chest releasing a flow of blood. "Sofia is also dead, I was hoping she would help me put you down, but alas she's a lot more loyal than you are. Maria had to poison her and drag her body out to your grave. Don't worry about the children either, I'll tell them some angry whites came by and did some very naughty things, I would have happily told them I killed you myself but I fear it may not have the effect I want."
Is this it? Is this what death feels like? It feels funny, I tingle a little. I know that I am dying but yet it feel as if I am merely falling a sleep, as if I will wake up again in a few hours. Ha I know that's definitely not true, but it still makes be feel happy inside, it very much acts as if it were a counter balance to my sisters betrayal, that when I wake up I will punish her for what she has done. But that is it, this is the end.
Sarah leans in one last time before I slip into the darkness. "Vive la République, Frenchy."

I accept my position as Minister to the Royal Court and as Acting President of the Senate.
My Father before me wrote his own constitution, now I shall do the same. I present the Italian people, who have suffered through lawlessness and instability, who have suffered through autocracy, and yearn for a return to democracy, who have yearned for the return of a King, and who yearn for stability and order, this constitution, which shall form the bases of the future government, and all governments from now on.

Transfer to Prussian Constitutionalism.

Legislation passed by the communists is declared null and void.
The reforms stay at the same level for now (the Constitution does not regulate them - save for Appointed UH, which is provisioned for). I will personally be posting the reform strategy once we have decided upon it. THIS DOES NOT LEGISLATE UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE. "System of Suffrage determined by Law" for voters is our clause that will be used to determine the level of franchisement.
All Senators deposed from the 1884 Revolution shall have their seats back.
Last, this Constitution is not set up to be dictatorial at all. It will implement Democratic mechanics.))
My Father before me wrote his own constitution, now I shall do the same. I present the Italian people, who have suffered through lawlessness and instability, who have suffered through autocracy, and yearn for a return to democracy, who have yearned for the return of a King, and who yearn for stability and order, this constitution, which shall form the bases of the future government, and all governments from now on.

((The principle IG effects of the Constitution we generally intend it to have:
Transfer to Prussian Constitutionalism. The Privy Council reformed - but while all aristos still seat on it automatically, there are also Privy Councillors who take the place per the right of their office, regardless of class - the Chief of General Staff (Militarist), President of the Supreme Court (any class), President of the Senate (any class), and Chairman of the Royal Chamber of Commerce (Industrialist elected by Industrialists).
Legislation passed by the communists is declared null and void.
The reforms stay at the same level for now (the Constitution does not regulate them - save for Appointed UH, which is provisioned for). I will personally be posting the reform strategy once we have decided upon it. THIS DOES NOT LEGISLATE UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE. "System of Suffrage determined by Law" for voters is our clause that will be used to determine the level of franchisement.
All Senators deposed from the 1884 Revolution shall have their seats back.
Last, this Constitution is not set up to be dictatorial at all. It will implement Democratic mechanics.))

From a young age she always hated men and everything thing they stood for, so much so she fell in love with her sister Maria but came to and realised she was her sister. But her hate for men was still strong and she only ever associated herself with women.

((That is some bio))
((Private))
The return to Nizza was a triumph. However, the city was in chaos, the Bonaretti Estate was once again in ruins, and bloodthirsty militias hounded the countryside. With the government troops hunkered down in Rome, Rosa knew she only had two choices. She could return to her family in Germany or she could join the government in Rome.
Truthfully she would rather return home. She had influence in Germany and led a comfortable life with a loving husband and children. She was increasingly disgusted with Italy which had fallen to complete barbarism. Rosa was not even sure what she believed in anymore. It seemed like the Italian people were incapable of being governed unlike the civilized Germans.
But Amat had offered her a post in government despite their disagreements. The offer had shocked her, for she would be the first woman to serve in a cabinet, though she had to admit that the Foreign Ministry did make sense given her connections. She was now in a bind. What would happen to the government if the head of House Bonaretti, Italy's most influential family, abandoned it? The new government would be dealt a severe blow to its credibility and legitimacy. Monarchists may lose heart and flee the country again. Perhaps the nation would fall into anarchy or the Hydra's hands once again. What would the new government even look like? She did not even think Amat knew at this point. Italy was dancing on a volcano and she had to prevent the eruption.
Rosa knew she must sacrifice for the good of the Italian people as all her ancestors had done. She boarded a frigate headed to Rome.
