Yes Garland, but remember what we said about not going completely by history? None of these independent Italian states exist seeing as Pearson united all of them under The Spanish Flag. Austria itself is led by Pearson's daughter. He literally, brought Austria to the game because she was begging him to give her something to rule. Austria is also Catholic, and answers to The Pope; all in alliance with Spain. Nations in alliances don't need to dispute over what they rule seeing as The Pope, Giovanni Dominica O'Malley, likes to view the alliance as all Catholic nations working together under one banner; The Euro-Holy Western Alliance.
