Fun History Fact: the distinctive iron prow of a Venetian gondola is called a "fero da prora", which just means "iron prow". Real creative, Italians. Anyway, the prow is designed to provide counterweight to balance out the gondolier at the stern, and its form is meant to visually evoke a lion's mane. Laith's hair style serves much the same purpose. It evokes the lion, and provides a counterbalance to his chin.

Actually Verona is the heart of industry of Veneto, also has bigger pop than Venice. I'm Venetian-Veronese so I know, it actually makes sense also because it appeases the Lombards.

@@IronWolf123 simply in the last 150 years industrialization was made from coal steel and railways, then from oil gas and wheels. Water and boats that once made Venice the richest city in Europe and the World were not the most efficient means of transportation anymore. Also Verona is the main hub from all transport to Germany since it's the biggest city in the only main road to Germany and northern Europe. From the 500k people at it's peak Venice only has 50k now. It's like a village, and more and more people are leaving. It has the institutions and the University, but for the rest it's like Disneyland. A city given up to tourism. But it's normal, it's a jewel that can never be imitated and will never exist like this. By the way climate change doesn't bother Venice, they built a mobile dam 10 years ago, the sinking stuff is not more than the sinking of NYC, small millimetres.

I do think that you should continue. There are many treaty ports that Venice should establish across the Aegean and Black Sea. Ionian Islands also need to be secured. And perhaps some "reasonable" expansion should occur, both with further Mediterranean treaty ports (Malta, Gibraltar, north african coast) but also establishing firmer control over the Adriatic. And of course, if the Suez Canal is built, surely Venice should be the one in control. And Souther Tyrol should be secured for a cleaner northern border and to limit Austrian influence. I wouldn't form Italy as Venice. Remain distinct and focus on controlling the Mediterranean.

Weirdly enough, optimally legal guardianship is probably the best womens rights until you start running out of peasants, as pop growth is much more useful early game than extra workforce for most as it scales better. Once you start running out propertied women then into suffrrage(Since by default 25% of the pop is workers, so that extra 5% from propertied women is already a 20% increase in available labor).

I have 1 Mio soldiers? Nah man Krakow is taking a shot at resisting with it's ... zero divisions... Oh you killed half millionen Austrians and there combined armies have 10K manpower and you're in Budapest already? Better let that war-score go down for another 6 months.
