Since no news about King Giovanni and Queen Valentina were available, and because of the poor Savonarola's administration (see THIS THREAD, several people in the north started asking for a new King to be proclaimed, and immediatly looked at Prince Amedeo of Savoia. The Prince of Savoia is the closest cousine of King Giovanni, and therefore would be the next in line for the Wine's throne.
However due to Savoia's very conservative policies, not all the Winians are happy to embrace Prince Amedeo is their new King, in the south the Repubblic of Wine was proclaimed, while in the heavy industralized north-east, the proletariat even arrived to the point of proclaiming the People's Repubblic of Communist Wine.
Meanwhile in Wine proper, the senate managed to get Savonarola out of the office, and nominated Princess Elisa Bennati, the older sister of King Giovanni, the new dictator of Wine, giving her full powers in order to bring Wine out of this crisis.
Last but not least the Catholic Fundamentalist Liberation Army, took the opportunity to finally achieve their dreams, and proclaimed in the center of Wine the "Holy Empire of God".
All the sudden what was once one of the most important nation of Apolyton found himself splitted in 5 different nations, all at war with each other.
Here are the factions:
THE Royalist Wine: Those are the provinces of Wine who remained loyal to King Giovanni, they believe that King Giovanni is still alive, and his probably somewhere held in prison in what has been proclaimed the Holy Empire of God.
They do not recognize any of the other four governments in Wine, and seek to reintegrate them into Wine, and to reestablish King Giovanni.
They are backed by the RIAW, and by several old members of the Morelli's government, including the Marquis Leone Tigrotti (the old defence minister) and the Count Davide Pianola (the old foreign minister).
They are the most powerful faction in the civil war as most of the winian armed forces remained loyal to them. Although they lack morale due to the fact that King Giovanni is still lost.
The Savoyard Wine: The people living in Savoyard Wine do not believe that King Giovanni is still alive, and want Prince Amedeo to become the new Wine's king. The Principality of Savoia still didn't recognize them, due to their ties with the real Wine government, but is secretly funding them.
This is a rather weak faction.
The Repubblican Wine: In the south many people dislike Prince Amedeo, and have always been much more open to the idea of a repubblic. They are a rather strong faction, due to the big population living in there, and due to several branches of the military joining them. They want a system of two Prime ministers that share the executeve power (OOC: similar to modern day France)
The Communist Wine In the heavy industrialized north, the people who didn't want Prince Amedeo also tried to proclaim a Repubblic of Wine, but due to the heavy percentage of workers living in there the communist ideals were much stronger than the ones of a capitalist repubblic.
The communist wine is a very weak faction, but they are also the one with the highest morale, and they are also very well organized in a very rigid stalinist system.
The CFLA Wine When the Catholic Fundemantalist Liberation Army kidnapped King Giovanni they were just hoping to be guaranteed some heavy payment in exchange for the King's return, they surely did not expect to cause such a big mess. However as soon as they saw an occasion they immediatly took it, proclaiming "The Holy Empire of God" in the middle of Wine. They quickly activated all their cells in Wine and immediatly started to attack the strong, but dis-organized Repubblic of Wine in the south.
