sixtus the fifth huh
Italy is kind of going through a Dark Age right now. The Population is the Oldest in the World. In the Next 30 Years, 30%-50% of the Population is going to be gone. 25% of the Population is 65 and Older. So in 30 Years, Italy is going to go through a Radical Change with a sudden Demographic Shift.
Which is going to have the same impact as the Black Death. I wouldn't be surprised if Italy starts another Renaissance. A TechnoAntiquity Style Renaissance would be pretty neat to see.
