I'll get to this!
This is just for my own reference since I don't know a thing about the history of S.italy at all and I should research it more later on. I'm not bothering to write a personality section for Romano...it should be obvious what his personality is like 8| the tsundere
MAFIA
Okay so...based on the translations that I have seen and from whatever stereotype you see on the media, it's fairly obvious that once you hear Italy, you think of Mafia at some point. However, most of the mafia is in the south. The North is more of the city type and the south if more of the country type. In other words, the South is a a lot scarier than you think. The police are useless and the mafia own 7% of the economy in Italy...and I'm going to guess most of it is in the South.
Blah blah blah...I'll write more later....it's 3am over here.
