Duchy of the Rubicon

Creation
The Duchy of The Rubicon was the successor to the Kingdom of Italy when the leadership of Italy left to form the Principality of Kirsch on the 10th of February, 2020. It, when created, was left with the regions of Sicily (Which contained not only the island of Sicily itself but also Malta, Calabria, and Puglia), Campania e Sud Italia, Aemilia-Romagna, and Veneto. It was left in the hands of Mak4Life, who became the sole remnant of the Italian population who did not leave for Kirsch.

Existence and Neue Land
Rubicon eventually expanded to include more members, and claimed the entire Italian peninsula and Dalmatia.

The majority of its existence was uneventful, until Kirsch invaded and annexed The Benelux and diplomatically annexed Germany. The duchies were merged into the Confederation of Neue Land, which was made up of the Duchies of Avon, Elbe, Rhine, and Rubicon. Neue Land eventually broke apart, which the duchies of the Elbe and Rhine declaring independence.

End of Kirschite Rule
When Kirsch invaded The Commonwealth of America, the Duchy of the Rubicon was gifted various images and artefacts, which can now be seen at the Gallery of Florence. Kirsch gave Neue Land to The Caribbean Empire, who then immediately released Avon and Rubicon on the 25th of March 2020, citing the reason that they did not want to deal with European Affairs. This ended the Duchy of the Rubicon, who became The Market State of Sacrania.
