Lucca is a Catholic republic located in northwestern Italy, bordering Genoa, Milan, Ferrara and Florence. In 1444, the country starts as a one province minor with the potential of becoming a Free City of the Holy Roman Empire.

Decisions[edit]

Since Lucca's primary culture is Tuscan, Lucca has the ability to form Tuscany.

Form Tuscany

Not since the days of the Margraviate of Tuscany has a single power controlled as much of the the Tuscan lands as we do. Let us adopt a new title to better reflect our new standing among the states of Italy.


Potential requirements The country: was never an end-game tag. is not Tuscany. has Tuscan as primary culture. is not a colonial nation. has not enacted this decision before. If the country is AI-controlled, then: it can not be a custom nation. it can not be a former colonial nation. it must have at least 5 cities.	Allow Tuscany does not exist. The country has an administrative technology of at least 10. is not a subject nation other than a tributary state. is not a nomad nation. is not at war. owns its core provinces: Arezzo (2978). Firenze (116). Pisa (115). Siena (117) or Lucca (2980).

Effects The country: changes to Tuscany. gets the modifier “Increased Centralization” for 20 years with the following effects: −0.05 monthly autonomy change, +1 national unrest. gets permanent claims on all provinces with Tuscan culture that it does not own. gains 25 prestige. (hidden) gets the event “The Emperor Condemns Tuscany's Elevation” within 50 days. If Tuscany: is a republic then it becomes a monarchy. is not a custom nation and does not have Tuscan ideas then it gets the event ‘New Traditions & Ambitions’.

Form Italian Nation

As the heart of the Renaissance, our nation is blossoming culturally. We have just entered the beginning of what looks like a prolonged artistic rebellion, especially in the field of architecture and literature. The cultural evolution is not aiding our country in maintaining peace within our borders however. Our country is continuously stricken by foreign states seeking power and territorial gain.


Potential requirements Italy does not exist. The country: is not the Holy Roman Empire or the Papal State has a primary culture in the Latin culture group. is not a colonial nation. has not yet enacted this decision. If the country is AI-controlled then it: can not be a former colonial nation. must own at least 15 cities. can not be a custom nation.	Allow The country: has an administrative technology of at least level 10. is not a subject nation other than a tributary state. is not at war. owns its core provinces: Genoa (101), Milan (104), Modena (106), Verona (108), Mantua (109), Firenze (116), Siena (117), Roma (118), Ancona (119).

Effects The country: becomes Italy. moves its capital to Roma (118). gets a permanent claim on every province of Italy (region) that it does not own. gains 25 prestige. If the country: is a member of the Holy Roman Empire but not the emperor or an elector then all its provinces are removed from the HRE. the emperor gets the event ‘Italy breaks out of the Empire’. the emperor gets the opinion modifier “Left the Holy Roman Empire” towards Italy, worth −150 with a yearly decay of 1. is a duchy then Italy becomes a kingdom. does not have custom ideas then Italy gets the event ‘New Traditions & Ambitions’.
