It is not the Empire of the Oversimplified Bucket, because it is said that the EotOB doesn't have a navy. But that may also be the fact that we don't have any ports...?
The proposed map of the Republic is made by @Hurricane_Mathew05 | Alternate History \/ In the year 1325, the bucket-loving city of Bologna DOMINATED Modena, and united with the other pope-supporting cities, creating the Guelph Confederacy, causing a Ghibelline Union to rise, causing a hundred years of civil war. The North-Italian Civil War (1329-1419) was a huge power struggle between them, and the Guelph Confederacy won. The Guelphs also took interest in the Bucket cul- I mean, they were interested in the Bucket, so they renamed the confederacy to the Republic of the Oversimplified Bucket, up to this day, which is now 1432. (Unless @AOEplayer wants to set it to present day.)
