ROME: Declared an Open City

[Pope Pius XII]

Aug 14, 1943:

Today Italy has announced that they have abandoned all defensive efforts of their home city. This brings great cheers to the people of the Vatican because, as the City around them has been declare Open, this means that her people no longer have to be afraid of bombings. With this said, the Vatican City would like to remind the world that though the City of Rome has been declared open (stating that no Axis troops may enter, or defend in the streets from allied forces), the Vatican City will remain closed.

Palatine Guard units have started to spread out into the immediate outlaying areas of the Vatican city to set up an outer Defense, that will better serve the well being of her people. A recruiting station has been established in front of Saint Peters Basilica, which will allow Internationals to join the Re-established the Papal Zouave Unit.

The King of Italy has condemned the act stating that it shows Vatican Interest to Re-Establish The Papal States beyond the Walls of the Vatican. Even though it has been condemned Italians formed to join the Papal Zouave`s, in the defense of the Vatican City.

(lets have some fun with the new time line! lol)

(The Vatican City is a country that is in the middle of the City of Rome. They are however seperate entities.)

[ducttape]

they are closed.... the management wanted to go home early

[Benito Mussolini]

Italy has no King, it has a leader. Your propagandy machine is in overdrive, worse yet you probably believe in your own Hype.

[Pope Pius XII]

It does have a king and, the leader is called a prime minister....

The King is currently Victor Emmanuel III, the Prime Minister is currently Pietro Badoglio.

[Lufen]

All Hail the King

[ducttape]

so italy is a monarchy now? since when did that happen?

[Pope Pius XII]

OOC:The Kingdom of Italy started in the late 1800`s, and ended in 1946. There was one king after Emmanuel III, he is called the "May King". After Italy became a republic in 1946 the entire monarch was kicked out.

[Benito Mussolini]

And yet Mr. Pacelli recogonized the Italian Government, not the King...and remember Dear Mr. Pacelli it was King Emmanuel III was the one who Invited me to come and form a Government and who appointed me as Prime Minister of Italy. It was the King himself who gave me my powers, the King who asked for my help to save our great Country of Italy.

[Pope Pius XII]

The King spoke to you for the same reason I did. He did so to avoid Bloodshed as you marched on Rome. Had he not made you Prime Minister you would have taken it by force, at the cost of many Italian lives.

[ducttape]

you speak like you care about the people!?!?!?! you sit by and wait for others to do your work for you. dont want to get your hands dirty! you say you did it all out of fear for the people. i believe you were in fear of people finding out how weak you are!

[ducttape]

weak people are not fit to lead! step done from your position sir and open your doors so tht a peaceful government can be in place instead of a weak monarchy! you throw the lives of all your people in front of you so maybe you will survive our purge of your blasphemous ideals!

I believe we are just going around in circles now. I will not continue to explain the fact that you have killed your own people, ravaged foreign lands, and are now a prisoner of your own people. You did not even know you had a king, when he appointed you to your position of power! Being a prisoner has obviously made you delusional.

P.S I am assuming that Ducttape= Mussolini.

[ducttape]

again IM NOT IN PRISON!!!!!!!! OMFG! you are obviously not fit to lead because your facts are fictional!
