Guelphs and Ghibellines
The Guelphs and Ghibellines have been fighting for dominance over Italy for centuries, ever since the Investiture Controversy pitted the Catholic Church Leader Title and the Holy Roman Empire Leader Title against each other. The Guelphs support the Roman authority over the peninsula, while Ghibellines are considered Imperial loyalists holding their allegiance true to the Holy Roman Empire. But matters have spiraled well beyond their initial positions, and both sides now represent a diversity of interests; the different countries are no strangers to switching sides when doing so might benefit them.
If you are a member of either side:
Force a Country into your faction with the help of the Force into our Faction Casus Belli
Forcing a country to change faction with this peace treaty will add score to your faction. Attacking your own faction members however will substract score from your faction.
Assist the members of your faction to keep hold of their Tax Base with diplomatic relations like Alliances or Guarantee
Increase the Tax Base of your Country
Potential Situation Outcomes:
In case of a victory for the Guelphs, all countries within Imperial Italy will be forced to leave the Holy Roman Empire and will not allowed to rejoin for 50 years.
Additionally, the leader of the Guelphs will be able to form Italy without the requirement to own specific Locations for 200 years.
In case of a victory for the Ghibellines, all countries within Imperial Italy will be forced to join the Holy Roman Empire.
Additionally, the leader of the Ghibellines will be able to request the Kingdom of Italy Title from the Emperor at much reduced requirements for 200 years, giving them an upgrade to the kingdom Country Rank.
