I'm italian: first I'd try Italy for sure.
But...
Of course at the begin of Victoria (1835 a.D.) Italy was not unite yet, so I'll try one of the states in the italian peninsula. But not Piemonte, cause I hate the Savoia's dinasty.
I would like to play Lombardy-Venetian reign (Regno del Lombardoveneto) 'couse I live in Lombardy. But exactly in 1835 Lombardy and Venetian were under Austria Empire, though few years after they rise up against Austria Empire...
So, I will see how they set the game at the begin of 1835.
For sure the years between 1835 and 1861 were years very animate in Italy. Infact we italian call that years the "Risorgimento": a political revival that I may traslate to you "the Rise of Italy as a Country" as we know more or less now...
Infact, in spite of a lot of you can imagine, until those years Italian people didn't consider themself "Italian". From the medioeval Italy was divided in varius powerful and rich states with their money, their lenguages, thieir food, their cultures, their armys.
Every times one of this states tried to become bigger the others rise against him. And also there was the Pope that didn't want the unification of Italy, for various reasons...
In this "strange" situation the italian's states arrived to 1835, at the begin of Victoria game.
Only in the 1861 a.D. Italy becomes a nation (even in a strange way...).
So, the years between 1835 and 1920 coincide with the born of Italy (and more or less Germany too) as a Country!!
...strange how few years later Italy and Germany will see others things in common.
It's not so easy to put it in a deep strategy game like this, and feel it plausible... I would like to see how Paradox people will manage it.
I just hope that Italy couldn't be unite only under the detest Savoia dinasty.
Ciao!
