Italy Forms a New Rome! | Hearts of Iron 4 [HOI4 - Waking the Tiger]

What if Benito Mussolini achieved his dream of reforming a new Roman Empire? What if Italy did it all just before WW2? Germany now faces their biggest fear, a competent Italian leader. Rome is obviously overpowered in Waking the Tiger, but will it be enough to conquer the worldl?

About Hearts of Iron 4 - Waking the Tiger:
Years before Europe went to war, Japan’s imperial ambitions targeted the divided Chinese Republic. Crippled by government paralysis and centuries of fitful development, China is still not a pushover. With vast reserves of manpower and resources, not to mention a giant landmass, can the Republic of China and its temporary ally withstand Japan?

The Romans have conquered those lands that should later become known as England. Also they invaded southern parts of modern Scotland. That would give them a major advantage in this game I guess because they wouldn't have to try a landing and loose great amounts of troops.
