    Forming Italy as the pope is actually pretty interesting, while your country does become green and doesn’t have the funny name over it, you still technically keep the pope in charge, meaning you keep the theocracy government. This has the advantage of getting you a faster religious conversion rate, and in hpm the amount of colonial troops you can build depends on their religion, meaning you can get a significant colonial army. The disadvantage of mr. pope being in charge however is that it also mean you can never enact voting reforms, meaning the Italians will probably become very rowdy at some point
