"All three regions lack both coal and petroleum production.  Milan has the advantage in both population and military capacity.  Rome, situated between the other two regions, is at a distinct tactical disadvantage."

&&CUSTOMNOTES 01
"The 'Northern League' (Milan) under Umberto Bossi, with its goal of a more autonomous Northern Italy, had its popularity spike in late 2007 as the global recession continued to take its toll on the country and the Prime Minister continued to be the center of many ethical questions.  On December 12th 2008 they established border checkpoints using the Po River and the Apennine Mountains as a natural barrier between themselves and Rome. ¶¶Southern Italy (Napoli), influenced heavily by the regional governments of Sicily and Sardinia, also took this opportunity to isolate itself from Rome’s control.  As tensions created by the imposed borders grew, the Vatican called for a peaceful resolution and used its influence to bring all regions to the bargaining table.  After months of fruitless discussion, an agreement was reached that called for a Reunification Vote of Italy (to be held in a year and a half), giving each of the three regional leaders an opportunity to control the agenda of the whole country. ¶¶Although the Northern League has agreed to participation in the election, the more radical members of the party continue to push for a military solution…"

&&EMAIL 01
"We should not wait for the vote to decide our destiny.  We must press our military advantage immediately and our generals feel confident that quick victories could be achieved by capturing our neighbors’ capitals.  Similarly, we must make sure to adequately protect our own capital.  If it were to fall, our people would be likely to abandon our cause. ¶¶Our technological advantage over our neighbors is also quite significant.  We should use it to lessen our demand on raw materials and to further provide a military advantage against our enemies."

&&EMAIL 02
"Milan is not likely to content themselves with waiting for the election results.  We strongly suspect that they will launch an attack against us at any time now.  Our first priority should be to build up our defensive forces, especially along our northern border.  If Milan attacks successfully, it is almost a certainty that Napoli will try and take advantage of our weakness as well. ¶¶Other than the military concerns, our reliance on petroleum and coal imports is our biggest handicap.  We should pursue technological developments that will reduce our dependency on these commodities.  That would help our economy substantially."

&&EMAIL 03
"Milan is our biggest concern.  They are not likely to be willing to wait for the election to decide the leadership of our county.  Our analysts expect them to try and capture Rome at any time.  There are two possible plans we could follow if this occurs:  1) We could ally with Rome and use the combined strength of our regions to eliminate the Northern League once and for all or 2) We could use the distraction of the attack on their northern border to capture much of Rome for ourselves.  Since Milan will likely turn their attentions to us as soon as they eliminate Rome, it might be best if we went with the first option. ¶¶On the economic front, other than our dependence on coal and petroleum imports, we are experiencing ongoing electrical shortages.  We should address this as quickly as possible before it affects our manufacturing capabilities."
