After the death of Casella and the lack of a replacement for the Segretario Generale, Erminio Boni, Amanzio Berni, Publio Carvelli, and Nevio Russo united in a pact to rule together until a new leader was decided somehow. This led to the formation of a temporary government called "Governo di Unità Rivoluzionaria" (Revolutionary Unity Government). Every decision for Istalia now had to pass through the Revolutionary Unity Government. However, several differences can already be spotted in this new government, which might lead to an internal division that will need to be dealt with.
Erminio Boni
Boni used to be the Minister of Internal Affairs. He caught everyone's attention with his message towards the government of Pontesi in March 5558 when the travel ban for Pontesi was announced:
He might cooperate with Amanzio Berni, as they both hold similar views and seek to continue the legacy of Casella. He, however, was particularly more fond of Carboni.
Amanzio Berni
Amanzio Berni used to be the Minister of Foreign Affairs for much of the Socialist Republic, having contacted foreign leaders multiple times and sent several messages abroad. He is particularly fond of Casella and seeks to continue his legacy. He saw Casella as a marvelous strategist and intellectual that saved the communist cause in Istalia, and his stress on proletarian internationalism inspired Boni especially, considering he was the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Nonetheless, he might take a more diplomatic turn now that Casella is gone, which might translate in new alliances and trading with likeminded nations, but still a fierce opposition to capitalist nations.
Publio Carvelli
Publio Carvelli used to be the Minister of Defense. He cooperated with Casella and Carboni when they began reforming the army of vanguard workers, having said the following back then:
Nonetheless, over time, he became more radicalised and sought to centralise the army further. This might lead him to support Russo, who seeks to centralise every state apparatus in Istalia further, despite the fact he agrees more with Casella and Carboni on their anti-imperialist stances. He might position himself as a balanced force between the two sides, while slightly favouring Russo, although he has become more paranoid and cautious over time, which might lead to becoming influenced by Russo's ideological stance.
Nevio Russo
Nevio Russo held no political office in the Socialist Republic, but became a prominent and influential member in the PCI over time, frequently writing letters to his comrades. He had a radical view on Majatrans, seeing them as a threat to the stability of Istalia, as they might become lured by counter-revolutionaries and external enemies, suggesting in private letters to massacre them. Over time he became more radical, suggesting to centralise Istalia further and take stronger measures. While he respected Casella and Carboni, he found them to be weak at times, and he tried to influence them to take more extreme measures, such as banning non-socialist parties and seizing the government when the Liberals won elections. It is also rumoured he had something to do with the sudden disappearance of the Forum Liberale. When his letters were leaked, he held a speech saying the following:
He might frequently not agree with the rest of leaders, especially Boni and Berni, and might try to influence them to follow his ideas, as he did with Casella. Carvelli might be lured to some of his solutions and beliefs, especially if the situation of Istalia worsens.

Boni used to be the Minister of Internal Affairs. He caught everyone's attention with his message towards the government of Pontesi in March 5558 when the travel ban for Pontesi was announced:
Quote:The government of Pontesi has banned our magazine, arrested innocent Istalians in Pontesi, insulted us, attacked their own people for owning and distributing our texts - we are not going to let the government of Pontesi continue with these actions. Let this be a final warning. We do not trust the government of Pontesi and believe they might be plotting against us and attack us any time. They should be glad we did not directly attack them, but we were kind enough to just cut off any possibility of contact between our nations! Let this reactionary and pathetic bourgeois government rot away, as they are not going to stop the proletarian revolution that is inevitable in Pontesi...

Publio Carvelli
Publio Carvelli used to be the Minister of Defense. He cooperated with Casella and Carboni when they began reforming the army of vanguard workers, having said the following back then:
Quote:Our plan is not to cause a direct confrontation with Pontesi and Beiteynu - or any other nation. We consider that declarations of war are methods of carrying out a rather violent and extreme form of imperialism by the bourgeoisie, desperate in its need to expand their resources. Since our goal is merely to spark up revolutions throughout Terra, we will not fall for imperialistic, bourgeois tactics. Our tactics will consist of what is known as asymmetric warfare: we are not going to use conventional soldiers and tactics, but rather proletarian militias loosely organised by a centralised group to coordinate properly. Guerrilla tactics will be our way to go. We are not seeking to destroy any nation, nor conquer it: we seek to defend ourselves and ensure the proletariat from the respective foreign nations are able to carry out their revolution by remaining alive to protect, aid and encourage them. We hope that the governments of Pontesi and Beiteynu will not resort to war against us, but were they to do it, we will not employ similar tactics, even if it means our demise from disadvantage. I repeat - we are not imperialists.

Quote:Lavoratori d'Istalia... And non-workers of Istalia. I know some of you are expecting me to deny that those letters are real, others to apologise for them. But I will not. I have remained in the shadows for many years, keeping my opinions for other members of the PCI. But that's in the past. Istalia is stronger than me and it will survive without me, only if we are willing to see the reality of our situation and take stronger measures. Yes, I said what those letters said about Majatrans. And I repeat it: we don't want potential counter-revolutionary traitors in our nation, from liberals, to Majatrans! If my fellow party members can't see this... If you, Istalian workers, cannot see this, then I'm afraid we're doomed. I will not apologise for my words. As for influencing Casella - what does it matter? I didn't see anyone complaining about what he did. I don't see anyone doing it still. Why should it matter that I was the one who convinced him to do it? Wake up, Istalia! We need a strong hand, not a weak one.
He might frequently not agree with the rest of leaders, especially Boni and Berni, and might try to influence them to follow his ideas, as he did with Casella. Carvelli might be lured to some of his solutions and beliefs, especially if the situation of Istalia worsens.
