How auspiciously timed! The level of support seems quite high, and momentum is on their side.

All throughout Europe, political events seem to be going wonderfully.  :)

The North will rise again!  :ph34r:
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

These "independence movements" are just a roundabout way to try to dump their debt and escape. It's like rats running from a burning building.

The "Repubblica Veneta", as it would be known, would encompass about five million people.

Only morons would give up the chance of calling themselves "Serenissima Repubblica"

Are these those fascists Northern League guys?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

In all but name. It being Italy, there have to be splinter groups and endless infighting to make sure nothing will be achieved.

QuoteIt may sound crazy but I think Veneto will become independent before Scotland or Catalonia.

That makes sense to me. Unlike those others, Venice's glory days were spent as an independent entity.

It is like the Europeans are trying to destroy themselves.

That is sort of their way, isn't it?

That's more people than many EU countries can boast.

Will they seize the Dalmatian coast? Will they be ready for the Aztec onslaught?
