So, uh, what the hell is going on in Italy and how bad is it likely to get? Like, just in general, I mean.

Italy almost got your own nukes in the '60s in cooperation with the US Navy (a couple cruisers were built to carry the Polaris ballistic missile and there were plans for a domestically-produced variant called Alfa in the early '70s), but it's just as well you didn't because I'd hate to think of Berlusconi having nukes.

VEGA didn't start development until the late 90s, twenty years after the ALFA project was killed off by the Non-Proliferation Treaty. From the minimal research I've done I don't think there was much technology transfer between the two except on the most basic "we know how to build a big solid fuel rocket" level.

Now I'm picturing the Cardinal wearing full ecclesiastical regalia and carrying a tool box, which pleases me to no end.

Bloody hell that sounds like an incoming clusterfuck to beat all clusterfucks.

Oh, I'm sure, that's the only sensible response. I've studied late 19th/early 20th century government contracting (albeit not in Italy, no parlo Italiano) for my work and reading your description of events made my eye twitch. Like there's ways to mitigate regulation without just opening the floodgates of allocating contracts to your sketchy cousin who knows a guy.
