Challenging Fate
Doge Omega, under extreme pressure from the citizens of The Most Senre Republic, presents changes to the proposed map.
For a reason for each
Venezuela-Venice has repeatedly offered to buy the Latino country named in its honor from the Droopy Empire. After seeing them gobble up /an entire continent/, and the new map giving them even MORE land, Venice again asks for Venezuela. Unlike every other claim, we can give this one up, due to the lack of a historical reason.
Sicily-The island has never been part of the Byzantine Empire, always traditionally being associated with Italy. When Italy fell apart, those greedy Greeks stole the island from Italians. After Venice got the peninsula under control, Byzantium refused to give up Sicily.
Sardinia-Same thing with Sicily, only with Carthage.
Southern Greece and Crete-Both areas have been most likely the most important colony in the republic, as it allowed us to check the balance of the other Med powers. Now, that Venice is back again, we request these colonies back, so that neither empire has Med dominice.
Istren and Dalmatien-These two colonies were the most loyal to Venice, remaing with the old Republic to the very end. They were also the only ones not to rebel after Venice was conquered, but due to lack of a Venetian presence, they were gobbled up by Byzantium. Due to their undying loyalty to Venice, not Byzantium, that colony should be brought back to our hands.
