Italy, officially the Italian Republic, was a country in Europe before the Great War.
Background
During World War II, Italy fought on the side of the Axis Powers under the leadership of the dictator Benito Mussolini. His regime quickly fell, and the country surrendered to allied forces after a crushing defeat. Italy's affairs after 1945 are unknown, due to the divergence. Most likely, the modern Italian Republic was established directly following the war.[1] Italy was also the headquarters of the renowned firearms manufacturer Beretta.
According to the unreleased Fallout: Resource Wars, which was designed by J.E. Sawyer, the country fell into disarray by 2060, as the European Commonwealth dissolved, bickering and quarreling with its neighbors over the last few remaining resources on Earth. Northern Italy, in particular, was reduced to total anarchy.[2]

The plot of J.E. Sawyer's hypothetical Fallout: Resource Wars game would involve a crew of soldiers from the Royal Armoured Corps who become stranded in a war-torn anarchistic northern Italy and have to fight their way to the English Channel in a bunch of quickly degrading vehicles, scavenging replacements, fuel, and weapons as they go.
