The Royal Italian Army is among the most formidable in the world. Trained alongside their fellow Wermacht allies,

The Italian Empire spans from Savoy to Uganda. Much of this area has had Italians become a majority, with the best case being Libya.

Libyans are very much a minority nowadays. With the Italian population already reaching majority status before the war, the opening up of Libya to European refugees made the non-Libyan population swell up. Tunis, Tripolitania and Wyrenaica were directly annexed by Italy, with the rest of the land being a colony. The Italian Economy grew exponentially with the discovery of Oil in the 1970's.

Egypt

The Suez Canal Area was directly annexed by Italy, while West of it fell under Italian North Africa and the Western part fell under the Italian Levant.
